Re: Please Advise : Reports from a Database
Martin, Thank you for your reply. The reason I am looking at using Applescript is that it is possible to include applescripts inside a RealBasic application which means (I hope) that I should be able to action a script from an application button and use NWP as a report generator for my database. At ...

Re: Please Advise : Reports from a Database
Martin et al, I am trying to automate my report generator and would like to create a document in NWP using Applescript. I have managed to create a new document, then add some text and then insert a table. I am now stuck as I have not found a method of writing text to the cells of the table. My scrip...

Re: Please Advise : Reports from a Database
Martin, Thanks for your reply. Since I first posted I have discovered that NWP "prefers" Tab separated files and that these convert into tables rather well. I have rewritten my export code to export the data with Tab characters, now all I have to do is learn how to write NWP macros. thanks...

Please Advise : Reports from a Database
Hi, I have a small database application written in Realbasic. One problem is with the application (and RealBasic) is that producing reports is difficult. However, it is simple to produce a text file and I have been experimenting with CSV files. I would like to be able to import these CSV files into ...

Re: Desired NWP1.2 Features
I need a WP that allows me to write a document in portrait format but include pages in landscape within the document. Nisus allows this but there is a bug when printing which means that it does not work. The landscape pages often contain tables that span many pages, the ability to specify a header r...

A book About Perl ?
I have just purchased NWP and I think that I might wish to create some scripts (Applescript, Macro or Perl) sometime. I know nothing of Perl but notice that Martin uses it in some of his scripts. Amazon list many books about Perl so which should I buy?

Hi All, I have just started to use Scrivener to put my document/s together and I am looking for a Wp to act as the application to "publish" the final copy, with headers and footers page numbers etc. The documents I am writing are computer test scripts and have three or four "style&quo...

At present I have trial versions of iWork Pages, Mellel and Nisus Writer Pro installed to see how they handle documents originated by MS Word.

Hi (again), I've down loaded the public beta and have been changing the tiered list ending as described above. It seems to be working except that at level 9 only the first four character groups are displayed in the edit box - I have not managed to scroll down to the last character group; it could be...
