Re: Status Bar character count

Thank you! Your suggestion worked. Clicking on the word that I could see in the middle of the Status Bar revealed the additional options. I am grateful for your help. This is one more of a vast array of items and options in software, that are very difficult to discover. Programmers seem to delight i...

Re: Status Bar character count

Thank you for your response. I have clicked on the Status Bar. I have right-clicked, left-clicked, control-clicked, and two-finger clicked. Nisus Status Bar gives no response. A right-click in the middle of a document gives a list of options, and other parts of my Nisus interface respond to right an...

Re: Main window looks strange

It was almost two years ago that 60% of those answering the poll said that they preferred the old Title Bar layout. Martin said that the old way should become the default, and the new way would be an option. That sounded great to me. It appears that there has been no change over the last 18 months. ...

Status Bar character count

The Nisus Writer Pro User Guide says 'Nisus Writer Pro continually keeps track of the number of characters, words and paragraphs in your document or selection. This information is visible on the Status Bar at the bottom of your document window'. The only count in my status bar is Words. I see in the...

Re: Delete a paragraph style from my personal style collecti

Thank you, Martin. Following your item 1, I had previously gotten to the Document Manager window, and selected an individual style. From there, I had tried the delete button at the bottom of the window, the minus button, and right-clicking on the style. None of these work. For whatever reason, I did...

Re: Manage styles list?

Thanks for your response, JB. Your answers give me some options. I did search Help, the FAQ, the forum, and the User Guide and its index for various terms. The term "delete style" is absent from all locations. So is "manage styles", "reorder styles", "hide styles&q...

Manage styles list?

My styles list has about 15 styles created by Nisus. Four character styles, and 11 paragraph styles, by my count. These include emphatic, strong, note reference, headings 1-6, and several others. While I have used a couple of these on occasion, they are rarely useful to me. I've created a few styles...

Delete a paragraph style from my personal style collection?

I searched for "delete style" in the forum, in Help, in the User Guide, and in the FAQ. It's hard to believe that I am the first person who wanted to do this. I did find a thread called "Remove a user defined paragraph style?", but that deals with removing a paragraph style from ...

extract email addresses, Powerfind not working

Thanks for your help and suggestions. All of the email addresses that I listed before are fake- ficititious inventions for the purpose of the email. Sorry, I should have said that. I tried Martin's macro, and I get the following error message: Perl Error Perl reported an error trying to run 'Extract...

extract email addresses, Powerfind not working

PowerFind is not working for me, as described in the Nisus Writer Express Help. I am using Nisus 2.7, OS 10.4.8, on a G5 tower. I cannot duplicate the results of many of the PowerFind examples. In particular, all the examples using parentheses don't work for me. When I do any search, I get the messa...

modify Create Word List macro

I need to modify the Create Word List macro that comes with Nisus Writer Express. This macro will extract all unique words from a document. However, punctuation creates unique words, so a list might contain: está. está, está! está; as four separate entries. Underlines and numbers will also show up a...
