Re: Large document drag

Maybe use Help>Send Feedback to send the file to Nisus Support and see if they can tell you anything? If the text is confidential, there is a "Scramble" macro here, or perhaps the "Redact" one in the same thread would meet your needs: http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&...

Re: Look up words in “Dictionary.app”

Anne,
What I'm wondering is how you made the custom dictionary with all that data for dictionary.app? Maybe I could do something similar with other languages. Thanks!

Re: Macro-Bible book name abbreviations

Thanks again, Philip. I think I've got the non-breaking spaces in (they show up as transparent tildes (~) when Show Invisibles (Ctrl-Cmd I) is selected. I'll attach the macro file just in case someone wants to use it as a basis for something similar.

I appreciate all your help!

Re: Macro-Bible book name abbreviations

About non-breaking spaces between the Roman numerals and the abbreviations: how can I add that to the macro? I assume there is some regex code for non-breaking space, right?

Thanks!

Re: macro: preserve some character attributes, but add itali

Philip, I guess I don't know fully the difference between Find and Replace and a macro. I was just assuming a macro was a Find and Replace expression that was saved and run as a macro. Maybe you can help me out as to what you meant. Attached is a macro I made to do this. For some reason it doesn't w...

Re: Macro-Bible book name abbreviations

Excellent, Philip! I noticed that you want to replace "Ge" with "Pr" and then also "Pr" with "Pat". Do you see the problem? This kind of thing gives a cascade, unless you are very careful to do things in the right order. Yes, I see the problem, and I had notic...

Re: Macro-Bible book name abbreviations

Thanks for your help, Philip. But what about Jude 2:1 (assuming there is such a thing) is that Jud 2 or Jud 1? There will be no 2:1 or anything like 2:x in the original texts from these books since they only have one chapter. I failed to mention that for those 5 books, it's also relevant that someti...

macro: preserve some character attributes, but add italics

I want to change [this] to this , or [this] to this , or [ this] to this , i.e. text with brackets to italicized text. However, sometimes the target text in brackets already has bold, underline or such applied. All I want is to add italics. I'm using the PowerFind Pro find and replace formula in the...

Macro-Bible book name abbreviations

I'm wondering how to make a macro that will change all of the following 66 abbreviations (some are also full words: Song, Job, Jude, so I only want them to be changed when at least one digit, a colon and at least one other digit follow them, i.e. "Song 1:1" should change to "Gg 1:1&qu...

Export to InDesign

Q1) I just tried to use the "Export to InDesign as Tagged Text" macro from 2009 (http://nisus.com/pro/macros/?activeCat=Misc), and I get this error message related to Perl (see screenshot). Is this because the macro is pre-version 2? Could it be tweaked to work now? Or maybe I need to add ...

color / opacity when selecting text

Is there a way to change the default color and / or opacity of the color that shows up when you drag your cursor over text? Let's say I want to italicize something, so I drag my cursor over the text and then hit Cmd-I. I have a problem seeing what is selected (i.e. the temporary highlighting); it se...

Re: Where on harddrive is Style Library? How to migrate it?

Indeed, Martin! I think what happened is that I copied over some Nisus .plist files, so that location must have copied over, too. There wasn't even such a path in the folder structure of this HD, so NWP never found it. I had looked through NWP's preferences I don't know how many times, but never saw...

And I have got them there in Finder. But NWP doesn't see them.
