What about having a, or a series of, Nisus New File A/B/C.etc. with different borders, coloured, into which you paste your text?

Just before Christmas I was so lucky to get a 'gift license' of the 'Swift Publisher' which also is able to do the same, but I'd prefer to make it all in a single step. - I also have a trial copy of the new TypeStyler X, though it can't save, you can copy and paste into other apps, so for that matter I could just make a frame with header info and put it onto the NWP docs when I've finished the text working.
