Fabulous Way to Insert Date (Updated)

Gives you a list of dates to insert. Yesterday, Today, Next Week, Next Month—you can define your own range and format the date the way you like. This started from a need to insert yesterday's date for a journal entry. After mildly obsessing, I was able to have a list of useful dates to insert for my...

Re: Select a list as a group.

Philip, Hello. Been a while since we exchanged on the forum. As always, thank for your input. The \0 was part of a macro I wrote ages ago which converts text to html. https://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5494 I remember it working in that instance. I was indeed looking to capture the list as a gr...

Re: Select a list as a group.

Martin, thanks for this. I was actually looking to select each list number or bullet and put a leading and trailing CR. I used the following in an old "copy as html" macro of mine to wrap the lists in <ol> tags and CRs: $style = $doc.styleWithName('Number List') Replace All $style, '\n<ol>...

Select a list as a group.

Hello, there. Making a bit of a comeback to the forum. I kinda miss it here.

Wondering if there is a way to select a bullet list or number list as one unit and put carriage returns (or any other characters) around it.

Thanks
Lou

Re: Move Files Within Document Manager

Ah - thanks Philip - I thought I was doing something wrong. But your sandboxing error makes perfect sense.

Have a great day.

Move Files Within Document Manager

Hi there

I never thought to move files between folders in the Document Manager, so I tried today and got a permissions error. The files are being moved between folder groups.

Is there a way to give the DM permission to allow me to move files?

Thanks
Lou

Re: Import Style via Macro

Hi Philip,

It seems to work either way, but I went with your second suggestion, it looks more complete to me from a code perspective.

Woo hoo. :D

Thank you!

Re: Import Style via Macro

Thank you very much Philip. Below is what I ended up with, which works super well. The additional code that you see was taken from one of your responses to another question. So thank you for that as well. What this does is allow me to write with a stylesheet that works best visually for the screen, ...

Import Style via Macro

Hi there,

Is there a way to import a style sheet from my Style Library and have it replace the existing styles? I have tried the following but it didn't work.

Code: Select all

$doc = Document.active
$doc.addStyles 'Manuscript Draft', 'replace'
Thank you.

Re: Macro to create new file from a template

Hi Philip,

You were correct, the hash did need to be a pair with @true. You fixed my macro, and I learned something new so this is actually a double thanks to you. Also, it did not need sandbox permission.

have a great day,
Lou

Re: Future viability of Nisus

I used my iPad for a few articles last year. It wasn't bad, but every time that I sat down to my laptop I moved through my assignment much more quickly, mostly because there's no cutting and pasting frustration. Additionally, I had no idea how much I rely on using comments for notes, sort of an adva...
