Because of the way Papyrus handles user-created reference types, you actually _cannot_ delete them. What you can do is rename them to something like "Unused" or "Reserved". Then in the future when you need a new reference type, come back and rename/reuse one of these. -- Dave Goldman (dave@rsd.com) Research Software Design 503/796-1368, fax 503-452-8920 617 SW Hume Street The PAPYRUS Bibliography System Portland OR 97219-4458 (U.S.A.)

Pagemaker is a simple Desktop Publishing Program, which is affordable for academic uses. It is recommended for any publications you publish on your own (Dissertations, Reports etc.). You can easily create high quality PDF files from Pagemaker files. It is not recommended for cooperative works or journal submissions, where Word unfortunately seems to be the standard application. If you are interested in how to use Papyrus together with Pagemaker, you are invited to have a look at http://www.cetacea.de/science/papyrus/pap-to-page.html where I put a small guide together. It's just one page. I would be very thankful for comments, additions and corrections of my limited english articulatory powers.

Pagemaker is pretty good but is still very memory intensive. The best solution for longer texts is Tex or Latex although it is not maybe so user-friendly. It also just so happens the the best latex application arround is a mac only application called textures from blueskyresearch. This has a real time rasteriser and can output publication perfect documents easily. Papyrus can also output documents in tex format so it is dead easy to integrate the two applications. I have been using textures and papyrus for about two years now without any problems and it is what I am currently writing my PhD thesis with. What is more, if you wish to submit a publication, most publishing houses make available for download a tex format template for their journals. just drop in the body text and the links to your diagrams - easy!

TeX is for people who like to program computers. If Nisus's formatting abilities are not adequate (and they're not), then use [Adobe] FrameMaker, which has magnificent formatting (all dimensions, such as font size, can be set to three decimal places, though I'm not sure why anyone would want to) and cross-referencing abilities. Plus, it's cross-platform -- once we've made a Mac file, we can transfer it to benighted PC, Sun, etc. users. (I don't know whether there's a Linux version, but is that relevant?) (Versions more recent than I use can happily output html; I don't know about pdf.) > It also just so happens the the best latex application arround is a mac only > application called textures from blueskyresearch.
