But then I don't understand the find pattern at the line 33: '^$0(.+$0\n)+'; if '$0' stands for the found reference number, the first one should be '^1(.+1\n)+'. But such a formula does not match any string... Martin comments for this part of the macro "# find the corresponding note text". If I und...

Hello Nobumi, I'm glad you got it to work. So I guess it was worth providing more than one macro! Also it shows that with macros it's really best not just to hope someone can write one for you, but to at least have some idea how they work so you can get the result you want. I don't understand the me...

Hello Howard, I take it you understand why this happens. Your item "21" has a restart on it which is some kind of invisible "memo" on the list item itself. Unfortunately the only way to know this is to look in the "Format:Lists" submenu, where the name of the first item changes from "Restart Numberi...

It also looks like Philip's macro has some errors. I tried it on Nobumi's sample text and it failed. That's probably because Philip's macro tries to be more efficient in exactly calculating all the notes upfront. That process is going to be faster, but more brittle. I did only one quick test on Nob...

Hello Nobumi, The basic steps will be: Find the numbers in your text Use the information to copy the note text Create endnotes using the copied text Remove the text endnotes The exact way to do this is driven by the commands of the Nisus macro language. So to create an endnote you'll need to use the...

Hi. In what way has it not worked well? I'm not aware of anything having changed in NWP 3.0 that would affect the functioning. So if you could let me know how the outcome of the macro is different from what you expect…

Hello Armando, and welcome to Nisus. You are correct. If you want to have one header run from page 1 - 20, and then a different header from page 21 - 40, then you will need to insert a section break at the bottom of page 20. This will give you a new section and those buttons will become active. A si...

With all due respect, Adrian, your "cure" sounds worse than the disease. I would have thought that Guru would want to index and generate the index from his rtf original, not try to painfully restore the pagination from the pdf sent to them by their editor. Surely the editor's pdf is just for referen...

Let me get this straight, you are talking about a pdf that was generated by someone else (using Word or other) from your original file, and you want to know if there are any deviations in pagination? There is obviously no built-in command in Nisus (or any other program) to synch pagination with a pd...

You should change the margins in your Nisus New File. Look in Preferences > New File > Advanced and open the file for editing.

The Formatting Examiner Palette sure has a lot of superpowers 8) But I'm not sure that this will work for what Kadah is trying to do, though it may depend on the formatting. Here is a simple macro solution which will select just the tables, i.e., all table cells. $doc = Document.active $doc.setSelec...

I'd like to reconfirm that I know this problem, and have seen it many times, though not recently. When it starts, it is very annoying, and it's not possible to get rid of it easily. It is very confusing, but ultimately simple: the insertion point in the Find dialog is "off by 1". This makes it very ...

I can confirm that I have seen this behavior as well. When this starts to happen, the cursor appears to be one character to the right of where the insertion point actually is. The only way to edit the find expression is to move the cursor with the cursor keys and keep the offset in mind. I'm really ...

Reading this I am suddenly wondering whether artful really wanted to insert so many section breaks. Perhaps the trouble with headers/footers stems from having used Section breaks where there really only should be page breaks?

Why are you using section breaks?
