Re: Unexpectedly large file size
It seems you found some of our Nisus-specific tips on how to reduce Nisus file sizes. Your Nisus file size of 6.7 MB sounds reasonable enough, so let's focus on the generated PDF. How exactly a PDF is encoded depends on macOS. Basically Nisus Writer tells macOS where text and images should be drawn,...

Re: gremlins
This is not atypical of RTF files saved by Microsoft Word. I regularly see a few pieces of such metadata included by Word using RTF controls like "datastore" or "themedata". I don't know exactly what is stored by these data, but it's totally harmless. We can assume it's probably ...

Re: Can't open files
Well how about that. Thanks for the advice Martin, I went to preferences to save my settings and saw that the folder was set to "none", ie they presumably weren't being saved anywhere. So I set them to save to a folder on the desktop, quite and relaunched Nisus just to check, checked agai...

Re: Can't open files
This definitely sounds like a system issue if it's affecting Nisus Writer and Apple Preview, but maybe it has something to do with the information the system maintains for each specific app. One possible solution: reset Nisus Writer's sandbox . That basically resets everything macOS knows about the ...

Re: Switch to secondary font
I am baffled about why I cannot set that secondary font preference like Cliff can. But I am quite happy to use the character style technique. Character styles are a good option. But I'd like to try to clarify your problem if possible. Maybe we can still help you solve it. When you say you "can...

Re: Macro Driven Undo Conundrum Solved
Undo in macros should work to undo the last action inside the macro. For example consider this macro: Display as Small Caps Bold Undo Italic After running the macro, your selected text should appear in italic and small caps, but not bold. But generally I agree with Adrian's suggestion: if your macro...

Re: Export to DOCX Error
The LibreOffice-based converter inside Nisus Writer Pro is not Apple Silicon native and does require Rosetta on Mac with an M1/M2/etc chip. You should install Rosetta to import/export DOCX files with Nisus Writer, if you want higher fidelity for advanced content. If you aren't picky about fidelity/c...

Re: Help needed with Show Find Results
How should I use the Show Find Results? Philip gave a nice explanation on how to use Show Find Results, but for your specific example you don't actually need to bother with all that. Instead just use the "V" option for your find/replace command, which shows a find results list window auto...

Re: How to balance column text?
So how do I get the gap between the columns where I can put a line to be the same as the inner and outer margins on the page? You should use the Columns palette for this purpose: cols.png You can use the "gutter" property to set the spacing between columns, and checkmark "line betwee...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't
I am up against another problem, more people-related than anything else. I like the power of regex and macros, where Nisus can generally trump software such as MS Word. However, colleagues are familiar with MS Word and are reluctant to change. This is always a tough nut to crack. Word definitely ha...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't
This is unfortunately an awkward bit of formatting to manage, especially in the context of a macro. The heart of the problem is that an explicit attribute like "No Super/Sub" is technically not the same thing as a lack of any super/sub formatting. They may appear the same in the text and o...

Re: Full Disk Access for Info Click?
InfoClick is sandboxed, which means it does not automatically have access to all files/data on your Mac. You will need to grant InfoClick access to your email files by choosing the appropriate email folder(s). The use of Apple's standard file interaction dialogs will implicitly cause macOS to grant ...

Re: Auto-fix option for double-caps

Thanks for the feedback and feature requests Vance. I'll add your votes for the features you've described. However, this one is already possible: Moving on, can we add a way to manually order index entries, rather than alphabetically? Here I am thinking about my 2 level index of "cases" an...
