It's not at all obvious why you wouldn't use "AnyText" as the wildcard. Indeed it is not. Consider the following case: _Nisus_ Writer is a great _document_ processor. If you ask: "What is the text between two underlines?", you might answer "Nisus" and "document". But there is another possible answe...

The Tools menu has Shapes > Select Next Shape/Select All Shapes.

Also look at this topic http://www.nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 962#p23962.

As far as I can see, this does not seem to be possible. A possible workaround is as follows: Save the styles relevant for the TOC in a style sheet called "Full TOC". Remove the "include in TOC" from levels 4-6. Save the relevant styles in a style sheet called "Short TOC". Now you can switch between ...

… what I need: find text, change format …and presumably remove the underlines? Actually for this kind of thing you don't even need a macro. You can use Find/Replace: Find_Replace_Markup_with_Italics.png Note that the replace expression has the Italics applied. You can of course macroize the above, ...

From your description of the problem, you already have the styles you want in a Style Library file, and you know how to find the Style Library (files) in the Document Manager. To get styles from there into your current document, you have two options. (1) With the target document in front, choose Ins...

The simple answer is "no". Styles in Nisus are "sticky", so if you click into a text and start typing you will get the style of the surrounding text. There are two things you could do: (1) You can set up a style to be the "Next style". However this will only work for paragraph styles. So you will ne...

Addendum: Actually the above macro will only work correctly, if both types of mark-up are indeed present. To have it work correctly for all cases, one should wrap the style application in a test to avoid having it applied to the wrong thing. $bits = $aDoc.text.findAndReplace('@@@emph\((.+?)\)emph_en...

So here is my suggestion how to do what you seem to want: $aDoc=Document.Active $styles = Hash.new $styles{"Emphatic"} = $aDoc.styleWithName "Emphatic" $styles{"Strong"} = $aDoc.styleWithName "Strong" $bits = $aDoc.text.findAndReplace('@@@emph\((.+?)\)emph_end', '\1', 'Ea') $aDoc.setSelection $bits ...

And on a more general note, may I ask what you are trying to do here? It looks like you are using a very baroque form of style markup. But why are you going to the trouble of first inserting this markup using perl only to remove it again after applying the style? If you skip all that perl you won't ...

Hello Martin, The command will need to be applied to a specific instance of a document object. You can't apply it to the constructor. So in your case it would presumably have to be: $styles = Hash.new $styles["Emphatic"] = $aDoc.styleWithName "Emphatic" $styles["Strong"] = $aDoc.styleWithName "Stron...

You showed how to create shading attributes with a macro, and then asked: But maybe your problem is something else? How are you getting/making the table selection? To answer that: I made selections manually, by selecting (some or all) text within some cells. The menu "Show Paragraph Shading Palette...

About your short form of the macro you say "that should be fixed now". Did you maybe intend to post the fixed code?

I just fixed the code in the original post.

Thank you, Philip. Outquoting the line "$textRange.location = $textRange.bound" works fine. Some day I might understand why )=; Here are the relevant lines $text = $table.enclosingText $textRange = $table.enclosingTextRange $textRange.location = $textRange.bound $textRange.length = 0 The first line...

Your simplified version produces a system complaint: 'The Table object does not have a "text" property'.

Sorry about that. That should be fixed now.

I have another problem with tables: I tried in vain to find out how to get a macro to apply shading to selected single cells (rather than to set shading to paragraphs which produces shading to the whole row containing the selected cells). Assuming you have created some shading attributes and stored...
