Re: Feature Request: Correct Previous Spelling?

I hope the macro helps! Thank you for this nice macro, Martin. Works like a charm, like anupam already said. :–) The macro leaves the small dropdown menu open and we have to use the down arrow key to select the correct word. Since the correct word often happens to be the first word in the dropdown ...

Re: Feature Request: Correct Previous Spelling?

Hello anupam, I see you have just joined the forum. Welcome to the friendly Nisus community! Is it possible to add a new command (and shortcut) to do this, so that the toil of having to move back to the point of correction is eliminated? Nisus has already a feature which should prevent you from miss...

Re: Highlighting selected text

I regularly select cells for deletion by dragging the pointer to designate the range, then using Tables-Select-Cells-Delete-Cells. Being a pedant when it comes to word processing, I wonder how you can be using Tables-Select-Cells-Delete-Cells , because these menu commands do not exist in NWP v.3.2....

Re: Highlighting selected text

Hello Adrian and Paieye, it would be better if that Macro could somehow be altered to make the highlighting (or whatever) applicable on the fly, so that the effect became progressively visible as the selection proceeded. Is this possible? Don't know if that’s possible, but after reading Paieye's fir...

Re: Highlighting selected text

Is it possible, though, to adjust the settings so that drag-to-select text drags the highlighting with it ? Perhaps this macro can help. It waits until you make your selection and then highlights it. If you do this frequently you should assign a keyboard shortcut to the macro or create a custom Too...

Same here. Reopening the document shows no additional characters.
Must have something to do with the new operating system(s).

Re: hyperlink reference to bibliography

All of this talk about numbered bibliographic entries makes me nostalgic for LaTeX. LaTeX bibliographies allow you to use symbolic link names and resolves them to numbers when it typesets the article or book. … and will a click on the reference symbol in the PDF then take you directly to the corres...

Re: Citation Cross-reference problem

Thank you Philip for the step-by-step instruction of how to join the two parts. If I come across any errors I'll let you know. I'll have to study this carefully. You are using commands that I'm not yet familiar with (substring, deleteInRange, insertAtIndex), and I have forgotten why you always do th...

Re: hyperlink reference to bibliography

It's quicker than doing it manually, but still not fully automatic Oops! In my test I used the Vancouver style which is similar to the AIAA style, but it has a slightly different bibliography format. Sorry about this mistake. Find All should look like this: 2.png # Ensure the bibliography is select...

Re: hyperlink reference to bibliography

Hello David, Assuming you are still using a style based on the AIAA citation style where every reference in the reference list (= bibliography) begins with a number enclosed in brackets <https://www.aiaa.org/publications/journals/reference-style-and-format> you should be able to do this if you selec...

Re: Incremental margin numbers in legal texts / Randnummern

Thank you Philip for your thoughts and suggestions regarding how to refine the macro. One problem with inserting temporary markers into the paragraph is that the macro would presumably remove these when run. In that case running the macro a second time wouldn't be possible I think they should indeed...

Re: Incremental margin numbers in legal texts / Randnummern

This seems to work very well if the sample box is set to "float with paragraph." Is it possible to add something to the macro in order to prevent numbers to appear where empty paragraphs are? 1.png Apparently, not all paragraphs should have a number. If the user inserts a place holder at t...

Incremental margin numbers in legal texts / Randnummern

German legal texts often require marginalia in the form of the so called Randnummern (margin numbers.) Randnummern are serial numbers that are cited and allow people to refer to exact locations in the text. They are used in textbooks, legal commentaries, administrative regulations, court decisions, ...
