G’day, Martin et al Yes, such a special-purpose command would be better. The attached file shows the joiner with a clearly non-zero width. In fact, by inserting or deleting characters in a subsequent word in that line, you can see the joiner width expanding or contracting before your very eyes! %22Z...

G’day, Martin et al Yeah, but…. It’s not actually zero width, as Align Justify will (usually) demonstrate. As Martin says, you can position the insertion point immediately after the slash, but this has to be done directly with the cursor in that position. You can’t position the cursor immediately be...

G'day, paieye et al First up, I don't know much about Greek typography. Next, the keyboard shortcuts you quote do not give me the same results using the System's Greek keyboard, so you may be using something else. However, the System also offers a Greek — Polytonic keyboard which allows you to hit o...

G'day, ScottinPollock et al

I suspect that, in the font you are using, those character pairs are ligatures and not distinct ASCII characters.

Cheers,

G'day, raybythelake et al A few comments that may be helpful here. For a large range of technical Find/Replace expressions, see (in the Help menu) the Nisus Writer User Guide, P. 470–477. In a situation such as this, the Find expression could be quite complicated. It may be prudent to Find and Repla...

G’day, salv0 et al

Have you looked here?

Preferences > Appearance > Colors > Selection > Active Selection, then set the color.

G’day, wF et al

It appears to be fixed in NWP 3.0.4. Text Analysis returns the same set of results for each of those paragraphs, correctly stating there are two sentences in each.

Cheers,

G'day, Philip et al Huge thanks, Philip, for these goodies. Ah, the power of exclamation marks! Reminds me of my favorite programming language (Forth). So, with your first one-line Macro as a guide, it's easy to create (and store!) a Macro for restoring one's favorite Find & Replace parameters, ...

G’day, lellius et al I’m very pleased it works for you. I will now offer some comments on the Find & Replace system in Nisus Writer because they are particularly pertinent in the current context. The problem with Find & Replace settings is a recurring one. The parameters remain the same unti...

G’day, lellius et al I’m sorry if I’ve complicated things too much. I’ll try to simplify. Any command that completely prevents text from being modified would have to come from Nisus. This may not happen any time soon. My suggestions offer ways to work with what we have now. Try this:– (1) Create a C...

G'day, lellius et al Thanks for explaining your reasons for wanting to prevent modification of chunks of text. In such circumstances, I think that a hardwired "Set in Concrete" command could be too heavy-handed. I've already mentioned footnote numbering as a possible stumbling block. At so...

G'day, lellius et al I've given this problem more thought, as I've found it intriguing. I suspect that some sort of "Spare Me" command might be difficult to implement. Footnote numbering comes to mind, but there could well be other issues whereby certain aspects of the text to be spared al...

G'day, lellius et al I am unaware of any such command. One possible workaround would be to take a screenshot of the text block (with Show Invisibles turned off) and insert the resultant image in the place of the original text. However, this would cause problems with Statistics (eg, word count), Tabl...

G'day, Martin et al Thanks for the reply, Martin. I read the article you referred me to (thanks) and ran Onyx, which was one of the suggested maneuvers, but no change to the Kind. Faced with a choice between Martin's "Fret not" advice and wielding the Terminal scalpel to perform more major...

G'day, all I have just now noticed that, when I save a new untitled NWP file with Format "Rich Text Format (RTF)", the file is saved with Kind set to "Nisus Writer Glossary" rather than to "rich text format (RTF)” which I think it always has been in the past. I see a few of ...
