There's an option in the Editing Preferences dialog (I think that's
the one) that's called "Use MacWrite Clipboard".  On the assumption
that this means that Nisus will convert its private clipboard into
MacWrite format (thus making formatting information available to those
applications that support MacWrite's clipboard format) when Nisus is
switched out under Multifinder (or quit from in the Finder), it could
be worth a try.

How's that for a qualified suggestion?   :-)
