Re: drag and drop

Yes, i had all sorts of suggestions in the apple communities forum but basically no-one had any ideas. It was happening in Monterey and now in Ventura. I suppose it's time for Sonoma, let's see if it persists.

Re: drag and drop

Well this is the strangest thing. After about a week of drag and drop not working, and after reading your post Adryan, I thought, well why won't it work for me. So i tried again and it works just fine, as normal. I haven't restarted (largely because I have an upgrade to Sonoma lurking in the wings a...

drag and drop

I no longer seem to be able to double click on a word and then drag it to another location. This is a recent development, I actually suspect it's a system setting (since I can't do it in TextEdit either) but I can't find anything that might help in the system settings and a question in Apple communi...

spellcheck glitch

Hi, I'm having problems with my spellchecker. I have my document set to British English but the spellchecker isn't picking up some American spellings, eg, labor (instead of UK labour), traveled, although it is picking up others (eg organization), and it's not objecting to any UK spellings - once cor...

Re: gremlins

Thanks Martin, it's never really bothered me, just curious. I figured it wasn't anything important.

gremlins

Frequently recently (perhaps even always) when I receive an rtf file from someone there are strange and (presumably) unnecessary characters at the end of the text, which I have to delete. It's only with rtf, not docx files. Why am I getting these? Can they be stopped? They look like this: 0000000000...

Re: Can't open files

Incidentally, I no longer have a problem with Preview, either. I guess it was just showing some sympathy. You know how these apps are.

Re: Can't open files

Well how about that. Thanks for the advice Martin, I went to preferences to save my settings and saw that the folder was set to "none", ie they presumably weren't being saved anywhere. So I set them to save to a folder on the desktop, quite and relaunched Nisus just to check, checked again...

Re: Can't open files

Very strange, I now seem to be intermittently having the same problem with Preview - when I double click a pdf set to open with Preview, Preview becomes active and there's the "file opening" animation-zoom but the file doesn't open. It doesn't seem to happen with jpegs, png, etc., and only...

Can't open files

Well I've had some problems with NWP in my time (don't worry, I love it dearly), but this is an unusual one. I can't open any files. Double-clicking doesn't work, control-clicking doesn't work, "open..." in the file menu doesn't work, and regardless of the file type - rtf, doc, docx, txt. ...

nisus won't launch

Hi all, I can't get Nisus to open... :( Martin (who I guess is there somewhere) sent me a beta and when I tried to open it, it got stuck here: verifying.jpg So I thought hmm and went back to download a clean copy of 3.1, which got stuck here: verifying.jpg Looks very familiar. What's happened? I sup...

Re: preferences gone

You should be able to use Nisus Writer's Menu Keys preferences to set keyboard shortcuts for any and all menus. Maybe you didn't notice the horizontal scrollbar along the bottom? You can scroll to the left to see earlier menus in the hierarchy. The scrollbar across the bottom. I was wondering what ...

Re: preferences gone

Incidentally, while I'm here, I notice that the menu item says "Display as Capitalized". Was it always called this? I vaguely recall some issue I had once that was resolved once I understood that "Display as" was not the same as "Change to", that is, the first letter of...

preferences gone

I just tried to use one of my user-defined keyboard shortcuts (I'd set shift-cmd-> to capitalise a word) and it's gone. On closer inspection I see that all of my user-defined shortcuts have gone - I guess in the past day or two. Any idea how this might have happened? Has there been some sort of upda...

no scroll bars in fonts list

That about says it. I have no scroll bars in the font list in the formatting palette. Is this a preference thing (can't find it) or a glitch, or is it just me? In support of the latter hypothesis, there seems to be something "hidden" under the typeface pop-up menu: formatting.jpg Actually,...
