Re: Nisus vs Pages

Fabulous topic and great responses. My writing commitment per week is about two thousand words for three blogs, including National Geographic Assignment, and two print publications including Digital Photo Pro. Where Nisus Writer Pro really, truly shines is that it's quick, stable and reliable. Never...

Two simple macros for writers.

Hey there. I wrote these two macros which are working really well for novel and article writing. The first is an insert scene break macro, and the second is scene select macro. The first places a carriage return and a "#" symbol centered and carriage return to mark the end of scene for nov...

Re: NW PRO won't open WORD 04 DOCs

I have to agree with Henry. Wholeheartedly. I'd rather just have the Intel package and avoid installing Rosetta.

Thanks

Re: Hspell

Phew. I'm glad it's a bug and not my brain. The first few times I tried to control-click on a misspelled word and nothing came up, I went into a mild panic thinking that my writing was so pathetic that the computer thought I was an idiot and was mocking me.

Best to you all.

Re: Hspell

Control clicking on a word in English is broken as well. Maybe it has to do with Apples new dictionary. Are y'all aware of this?

Getting paths of files slected in the Document Manager

Is there anyway to get the file path of a selected item in the document manager. I love the document manager and want to try to create a macro that will delete or move files with a keyboard short cut when I'm browsing in the document manager window.

Thanks

Re: How to apply color properties

Thank you all for your replies. After some tooling around, my solution distilled down to some very simple steps which uses the :Format:Text Color command.

How to apply color properties

Sorry to bother, but the Macro Reference is a little light on examples and I'm not a programmer. If I have a variable $value and I want to make all the text in that variable black, how to I apply the Color.black command.

Thank you

How do I get this Blog converter in the permanent collection

I figured out how to use NWP for all my writing now. I have a macro that converts bold, italic and bullet lists to HTML format for blogs. It puts RED text between blockquote tags and stops and prompts you for a URL at every section of BLUE text converting it to a link. Copies the whole thing to the ...
