Have you looked here?

Preferences > Appearance > Colors > Selection > Active Selection, then set the color.

G’day, wF et al

It appears to be fixed in NWP 3.0.4. Text Analysis returns the same set of results for each of those paragraphs, correctly stating there are two sentences in each.

G'day, Philip et al Huge thanks, Philip, for these goodies. Ah, the power of exclamation marks! Reminds me of my favorite programming language (Forth). So, with your first one-line Macro as a guide, it's easy to create (and store!) a Macro for restoring one's favorite Find & Replace parameters, whic...

G’day, lellius et al I’m very pleased it works for you. I will now offer some comments on the Find & Replace system in Nisus Writer because they are particularly pertinent in the current context. The problem with Find & Replace settings is a recurring one. The parameters remain the same until you ch...

G’day, lellius et al I’m sorry if I’ve complicated things too much. I’ll try to simplify. Any command that completely prevents text from being modified would have to come from Nisus. This may not happen any time soon. My suggestions offer ways to work with what we have now. Try this:– (1) Create a C...

G'day, lellius et al Thanks for explaining your reasons for wanting to prevent modification of chunks of text. In such circumstances, I think that a hardwired "Set in Concrete" command could be too heavy-handed. I've already mentioned footnote numbering as a possible stumbling block. At some stage y...

G'day, lellius et al I've given this problem more thought, as I've found it intriguing. I suspect that some sort of "Spare Me" command might be difficult to implement. Footnote numbering comes to mind, but there could well be other issues whereby certain aspects of the text to be spared alteration m...

G'day, lellius et al I am unaware of any such command. One possible workaround would be to take a screenshot of the text block (with Show Invisibles turned off) and insert the resultant image in the place of the original text. However, this would cause problems with Statistics (eg, word count), Tabl...

G'day, Martin et al Thanks for the reply, Martin. I read the article you referred me to (thanks) and ran Onyx, which was one of the suggested maneuvers, but no change to the Kind. Faced with a choice between Martin's "Fret not" advice and wielding the Terminal scalpel to perform more major neurosurg...

G'day, all I have just now noticed that, when I save a new untitled NWP file with Format "Rich Text Format (RTF)", the file is saved with Kind set to "Nisus Writer Glossary" rather than to "rich text format (RTF)” which I think it always has been in the past. I see a few of my existing files with Ki...

G’day, msebban et al Have you tried the following? File > Page Setup… > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes… Click on the “+” sign to add a new Custom Size, give it a name, then enter the desired dimensions and click “OK”. You can then get your PDF document via the Print dialog or via File > Export As ...

G’day, Philip et al

Much better, Philip!

I don’t think I’ve ever needed to do this on a mass scale before, so I wasn’t aware of that command. Thanks for pointing it out.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, shmuel et al One way of doing this is to use the Find & Replace system with settings as in the attached illustration. (The Case checkboxes don't really matter here.) Changing Paragraph Style.jpg The expression in the Find field was obtained from the drop-down cogwheel menu ("Find what:") unde...

G’day, Eric et al I’m not sure how things go under Catalina, but in Nisus Writer Pro under Mojave you can use View > Full Screen. There is an existing keyboard shortcut for that command. Another possibility is to adjust the window size of a Nisus New File document so it fills the screen (apart from ...

G’day, all For anyone contemplating moving to macOS 10.15 Catalina, be aware that Mac-related forums appear to be flagging more than the usual number of difficulties with a new operating system. I for one will be sticking with Mojave for many months yet. In fact, if past experience is anything to go...
