Hello Axbax,
The problem you are seeing has nothing to do with upgrading. It comes about because the last item in your list does not have a return. But now that you mention it, I can provide a fix for that.

See below:

I also just wanted to ask: this way of formatting a TOC, is this still a thing? I mean, it was very popular in the 19th century. I'm getting flashbacks of Twain and Dickens. Is this maybe something that Nisus should consider as a feature? Considering this problem: I was first wondering if one could ...

Hamid is basically suggesting that you create the TOC "by hand" :? Of course he is correct in that the thing you want to achieve can't be done with any built-in feature. He also points out one good feature here: You can tamper with the created TOC and still have it continue to work, sort of. Adoptin...

Add the column on the left (You've already done that.) Place your selection in this column and select the column. (You can do this with <shift><command>A ) Choose New List Style… Choose the "Numbered" option and check that "Continue through Document" is checked. Give it a name like "Table Numbering...

You can do it through two different approaches: 1. Via the keyboard This is the same method that you can use anywhere on the mac. Switch to a keyboard that is dedicated for the task, either one provided by Apple, or one made yourself with a program like Ukelele . This would be the preferred method, ...

I'm not really a pro-user of footnotes, but I think you might be doing things backwards. The footnote style is a not a style intended for paragraph formatting, it's a special style to control the aspects of footnotes. I just looked, and I notice that since the footnote style is based on another styl...

I try not to create type mismatches, because I consider them an error even if NWP doesn't :-) That is indeed the approach one should take, even if a language (like Nisus macro language) is "loosely" typed. In that sense you should ask yourself what happens when I add "George" and 3? As any first gr...

2. for the first level, I would like the style to be so that the number is not in bold, but the text is in bold. But this does not seem possible. This can also be achieved with a style, but this time a character style. Call it "First Level Number" and give it the attribute "Unbold". It seems to do ...

Having suggested the above "hack", it must be said that this approach is likely to be brittle. As far as I can make out, there is no way to know which header text object belongs to which section break, especially if some of the section breaks do not have the "different headers" on. A setting for "di...

While I sincerely hope that Nisus adds a "Section" object (and maybe a "Header/Footer" object, and/or a ".allHeaders/Footers" property to the Document object), I have to say it is possible to copy headers from one document to the other. Ideally the Section Object would allow for control of margins, ...

You've got that exactly right. The iterator variable of the foreach loop is a local copy. So changing it does not persist beyond the loop. One way to achieve what you want is to use the index to access the original. Note that the foreach loop has a variant that allows you to get the index of the cur...

Hello Bob, Have you tried them? :wink: The point you bring up is moot, since Nisus does not allow you to combine different operators in one expression. The work around that it does allow is for you to use parentheses. So you will have to specify the operator precedence yourself using parentheses any...

(2) Create a Macro called "Select All Except". It has two lines:– Find All @Text<(?:.|\n|\f)+>, 'Eau' Invert Selection In the first line, you need to apply the “Skip Me” Style to the string between “<“ and ”>”, but don’t include “<“ or ”>”. Now save the Macro. In order to avoid the need to mess aro...

At the very least, I would like to have the option to set the scope to “In Selection” using a modifier key. So a macro to do this would be: $find = Read Find Expression Find $find, '!*s' This uses the '*' to preserve all other options. And a macro to reset to full document search would be: $find = ...
