Nisus Software on Tuesday announced the release of Nisus Writer Express 3.2, an update to their lower-priced word processor for Mac OS X. It costs $45; upgrades for version 3.x are free.

Nisus Writer Express incorporates multilingual support, a style system, non-contiguous selection capabilities, full-screen mode and support for Rich Text Format (RTF), a widely supported file format.

New to the 3.2 release are new features like the ability to edit document properties, including author, company, copyright and other fields; new backup options; control over smart quotes on a per-language basis; and a preference to choose the default file format for new documents.

Other changes to 3.2 include changes to the way that updates are managed, and the ability to create a new Writer Express document from another application using the Services menu. Bug fixes and other enhancements have also been made.

Nisus Writer Express requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
