Is "Nisus.XTND" something else than "Nisus Writer.XTND" ? I have only "Nisus Writer.XTND" and it *doesn't* let me open NW file in Style with the formatting.

Ony way for me to open text with formatting in Style is to use the "TeachText/SimpleText" XTND filter that is included with STYLE. (Save NW file as SimpleText, then open with Style).

I saw that Merzwaren.com (Style creators) just has released some plug ins for Sherlock that will let you index and read the content of unicode text files. So that you search for content of unicode files and read the content exerpts inside Sherlock.
