I'm a Linux not a Mac user, but I've been using Wine to run Windows programs for some time now. Wine is definitely better than a dual boot option as the programs run directly in the OS. I would guess this is also true of the Mac.

Wine was originally developed for Linux, but the Wine website sets out all the options for installing on a Mac here.

Noteworthy runs fine in Wine, though I have had problems with the print preview causing a program crash in the past. The problem largely seems to have been resolved in recent versions of Wine. I have been using Noteworthy for over 10 years now (it has been around for 16 years) and I find it meets all my needs. I was attracted to it in the first place because I found it very easy to learn and was able to produce results very quickly. It does have a slightly quirky interface which some do not like but it never gave me any problems and I quickly got used to it.
