converting Pages documents?

Can Nisus Writer Pro read documents saved by Pages? I do not have Pages installed on my MacBook Air. When I double-clicked on a Pages file, NWP came up and purported to open it, without error message. The converted document was blank. The Pages version, as viewed in Preview, had the expected content.

Re: "_text_" to italic

Good Grief! The Find/Replace routine works! I had no idea it was possible. :) I'll have to study the Find/Replace documentation... It's not at all obvious why you wouldn't use "AnyText" as the wildcard. [...and at the moment I have no idea what "1+shortest" is/does. Time for some...

"_text_" to italic

I need a macro to convert indications of italics in txt files (e.g. "_any text_") to true italics in an RTF file.

It seems like a simple thing, but none of the same macros I've seen come close to what I need: find text, change format

Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?

Is there any way to make NWP run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened? Example: Select a word or phrase (perhaps in Safari) and copy to clipboard Open "Serial_numbers.rtf" in NWP NWP automatically runs "Find clpbrd txt.nwm" "Find clpbrd txt.nwm" opens Fin...

Re: force text block to bottom of page

I like the adjectival phrase "Sink Me"! It pretty well captures the idea. The suggested macro is ingenious, but may not be simple enough in use to replace simple carriage returns added/deleted as a final step. When hard copy memos are used it is common to place a "CC: " (Carbon C...

Re: force text block to bottom of page

Yes, I could use the footer, but it would need to be limited to that one page only, and more importantly, it seems just plain inelegant! Using carriage returns gets the job done, too, but seems similarly poorly designed for the purpose. The text box might be the best solution available. I rarely use...

force text block to bottom of page

Is there any way to force a selected block of text to appear at the bottom of the page? Image a letter that ends half was down the page, but you want to put a three line message down at the bottom margin. You might want to say, for example: Included: 2015 return 2014 Objection Short of using carriag...

old-code memory hog?

Yesterday I converted a one-page WordPerfect document. I did what needed to be done, and closed the file. Nisus Writer Pro was still running, but no other documents were open. This morning I was using the Activity Monitor to check memory usage by a program that seemed to be malfunctioning, and I not...
