Re: Section Break - Odd Page - Refresh
Hello and Happy New Year to everybody! The doc contains proprietary information from my employer. Don't you worry, there is a very elaborate macro available for this purpose. It's called "Redact". I'm not sure whether it's now automatically installed with the application or whether it has ...

Re: Considering Nisus
Hello Oliver, I am considering Nisus, but from using it briefly, I have some concerns I had concerns too in the beginning. It takes more than 2 weeks trial time to discover the full potential of Nisus Writer Pro (NWP). 1. Don't see a way to view the same document side by side. Needed for long docume...

Re: Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?
Hello Adrian and others, Yosemite is as far along the path as I’ve gone at this stage, not wishing to push my luck with what I perceive to be very problematic subsequent versions of the operating system. I can understand that. Apart from changing the name from Mac OS to macOS, there have been no new...

Re: Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?
Just finished updating to system 10.12.2. Still no text services in Preview. Problem persists. Here is what Christiaan M. Hofman, a developer of Skim (http://skim-app.sourceforge.net), said: "Yes, it does seem that PDFkit on Sierra is a completely different framework from earlier versions. And...

Re: Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?
Hello Adrian, If it doesn’t work in a Preview document, I guess the first thing I would do would be to check whether the Preview document itself recognizes a selection as text, by trying the Use Selection for Find command and/or by checking whether other text-based Services (such as Summarize) appea...

Re: Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?
Hello Adrian, Thank you for the enhanced macro. There is a slight problem with your Service, at least on Sierra 10.12.1. It won't appear unter the Services menu in Preview and Skim . It appears in PDFpenPro and PDF Expert as expected and in Safari, iCab, TextEdit, Pages and MS Word (I didn't test mo...

Re: Run a specific macro whenever a specific file is opened?
Hello everybody, One way to do this would be to write an AppleScript that passed the file and macro names to NWP. Can this be done? If you just want to select text in Safari and automatically find that text in a certain NWP document, you can do that with a combination of AppleScript and a Nisus macr...

Re: print of corrections
I looked around, all other writing-software (Libre, Melles, MW Word, OpenOffice) is able to print chances in texts - it is really necessary, that a text-editor is able to do this. I agree. Unfortunately this also applies to comments. See the thread "Printing comments as annotations in NWP 2.1....

Can glossary abbreviations be expanded with a macro?
I remember I was once able to use glossary abbreviations in a macro and have the macro expand the entries. I can‘t do it now with a construction like this, for example: Type Text "rvk" Type Text " " Did I just dream this, or was this perhaps a feature in Nisus Classic that never ...

Re: single angle guillemets
Hello Steve, IMHO, Mellel had solved this problem in a better manner. Hold your horses, there are 1001 answers to your question, and each and every one of them depends on factors that you haven't even mentioned yet. when I use guillemets (with Quickfix), it works for the double guillemets (>> or <<)...

Re: Toggle Paragraph Spacing...
Hi Philip, Assuming we want the space before to be 14, and sometimes something else. How can we do that? "Prompt Input" looks like a good way to go, but how can we turn a new input entered by the user into a global variable so that it will stick? $numberBefore = Prompt Input 'Enter space b...
