Nisus Writer Express enables a variety of other selection methods. When you find a text selection
using the Find/Replace tool Nisus Writer Express selects what you find. When you click Find All in
the Find/Replace window, Nisus Writer Express noncontiguously selects all instances of what it
finds.
“De-select” text from a selection
This is not to be confused with removing/deleting selected text from your document, but, when you
have a lot of text selected and you want to “de-select” some of that text.
▶ Press A and double-click (or double-click and drag) over the text you want to remove from the
selection. This creates noncontiguous selections of the previously selected area.

When you save your document, Nisus Writer Express saves the current selection or insertion point
position.
