Manipulating cells in a matrix

Some time ago Philip helped create a macro which ouputs an array of an arbitrary selection of cells. In an 8x8 matrix each cell is thus defind by a two-digit number representing row and column number of the cell: $doc = Document.active $octals = Array.new foreach $tblSel in $doc.tableSelections fore...

Re: Select All in Highlight

Thank you both for your help. The macro sent by Philip can in fact do more than I need, but there is a problem: As to more than I need: I use highlights by defining one color only which I insert by a macro. To find all highlights created by that macro I just had to adapt Philip's Macro. Instead of t...

Select All in Highlight

There is no standard menu "Select All in Highlight", though this can by done manually ( in the Menu with the mini icons on the bottom of the page. (Wich appears if the cursor is inside highlighted text). I wonder if it is possible to create a macro that selects All in Highlight.

Re: Table: How to find coordinates of selected cells

Thank you Philip. What I try to do is checking which cells in a table have been selected, either manually, or by a Find expression. This is to study mathematical and geometrical relationships inside a matrix. Take a simple example like this: Build an 8x8 matrix and fill it with decimal numbers from ...

Table: How to find coordinates of selected cells

In a table, if I know the coordinates x,y of a cell I can use "$tbl.textAtRowAndColumn x,y" to find the contents of that cell.
But what is the best way to achieve the inverse: to find the coordinates of a selected cell, or better: to get an array of the the coordinates of all selected cells?

Re: Change identical style in several files

For a single import, I tried to profit from everybodys help and suggestions to end with a handy macro like this. It lets the user choose from the style library and provides for sandboxing. Thank you all. $doc = Document.active # choosing the style set from Style Library: $folderPath = '/Applications...

Re: Change identical style in several files

Thanks again to all who have been helping. Combining elements of what I learned I found that a single import can be done comfortably like this: $doc = Document.active # choosing the style set from Style Library: $folderPath = '/Applications/nisus writer settings/Style Library/' File.requireAccessAtP...

Re: Change identical style in several files

Well thank you Philip. What I sure learned from all this is that to solve my problem I should use the style library. Now what I did is this: -- I created a new file, entered some text and gave it some paragraph styles. -- This I saved to the style library in a new document I called test -- I opened ...

Re: Change identical style in several files

Great thanks to everybody helping to solve the problem. With “that’s easy” I meant to say: easy to do manually. As to the “# do stuff here” part using the loop macros suggested by Philip or Martin, I think it could be done like this: Open one of the files to be treated by the macro Manually attribut...

Change identical style in several files

I have a number of files using certain named styles in common. Opening one file and changing the attributes of a style is easy. But how about changing that same style in all other files?

Re: Glossary item executed inside a Macro?

Great. Thank you Philip. I didn't realize that there is an Expand Glossary Command. I see moreover that it works either with the shortcut seleted or with the cursor placed at its end.

Glossary item executed inside a Macro?

I wonder if a Nisus glossary entry, normally executed manually by Space or Return, can be executed inside a macro. Having the Macro type Space or Return does not execute the Glossary.
