I'm not sure I understand, but if I do, here's a macro to get you started: $color = Prompt Options “What highlight color should be applied?”, “Please choose the color:”, “Apply”, “Red”, “Green”, “Blue” Menu “:Format:Highlight:$color” Hopefully the way to extend the macro is clear. If not, let me kn...

Quicklook plug-in for Nisus Macros
Quicklook in the Leopard works fine with Nisus documents, but not with macros. To check macros rapidly this feature would come particularly handy to flip through code. Would a plug-in be feasible? There is one for applescripts, BTW:

Here's a macro that takes the PowerFind Pro expressions as entered into the Find window and applies them to all open documents: # gather the find and replace expressions $findExpr = Read Find Expression $replaceExpr = Read Replace Expression # We iterate through all open documents, stopping when we...

Get Nisus docs only from Leopard?
Leopard has solved a longstanding problem with Nisus menus and Macros: If you had many of them or forgot the keyboard shortcuts, you couldn't find them anymore. Now you can often find them by entering part of the macroname or shortcut into the help window. This makes me wonder in what other ways Nis...

If you simply want to open a file in the default application associated with the file, you can use the Open URL command as follows: Open URL ‘file:///Users/shortname/Desktop/whatever.ext’ If you need to launch/use a specific application then I think you'll have to dip into AppleScript. Thanks, Mart...

Martin answered: All macro commands that manipulate/open Nisus files can be used on non-Nisus files as well. For example, if you have a plain text file on your desktop you could open it like so: Open '~/Desktop/file.txt' My question was meant somewhat differently: Let's say I work in a project with ...

Opening none Nisus files from Nisus (a query)
It is easy to use the Nisus macro language to open other Nisus files. I use a macro that closes the front file and pastes "Open" plus its pathway into the file that becomes visible if the topmost one is closed by the macro Then you can select it and use "Run selection as Macro". ...

Open the Find window and setting the cursor
I often need to find a certain type of numerical expression that occurs after a tab, and I thought I might write a simple macro that opens the find window, puts a tab and sets the cursor after it, like Find and Replace '\t', '', 'E!' Show find Select End But unexpectedly I run into two problems: 1) ...
