Here is a macro that will show how to extract various information about images and display the results in a new file. Ideally this should be adjusted to your own preferences, for both the desired info or display format. One shortcoming of this macro is that if the images are inside other floating co...

Well you could use a paragraph border...

A table of authorities technically speaking IS an index; an index of citations to be specific. Let's say you are writing your legal document and you refer to the case Smith v. Jones on four different pages. You need to list Smith v. Jones in the Cases section of your Table of Authorities (there's s...

Hello Bob, Inline graphics move several paragraphs? I can't offer real advice on this problem, but my general experience has been that the option "Position of Page with ¶" is the most reliable. Otherwise I can only point you to the following discussion: http://www.nisus.com/forum/viewtopic...

Hello Vanceone I don't know anything about the standards in legal writing, so excuse this naive question. How is a Table of Authorities different from a table of contents or an index? Would it be possible to use those features of Nisus to accomplish this? As far as the Nisus Macro language is concer...

So this is a stable problem? Does the lower line have a fixed line height by any chance?
Otherwise you should try sending your file to Nisus using the feedback option in Help.

The short answer to your question is: 'No'. The general problem is a linguistic one. As you say, you only want to un-capitalze words that "aren't names." How are we supposed to know that? What you can do is use the find dialog to make going through offending cases a little easier. This is ...

Hello Janice, you really have several options. The easiest is to use the find dialog as you are doing, and from there click on Find All . This will select all the instances in your document. If you send the find dialog to the back you can now apply the Italic to the selected parts all at once. The s...

I found a problem with the way the refences are added to the footnotes (e.g., "1:4" in the footnote in Gen 1:4). There needs to be an ending marker \ft so it is "\fr ch:v \ft" (where "ch" is chapter digit(s) and "v" is verse digit(s). Otherwise, USFM thinks t...

Hi Eric, check the last version (v5). I have changed things around, added comments, and added some formatting to make thing easier to read. The marker \p can be mid-verse – not necessarily at the beginning of the verse or at the beginning of the line. If it's mid-verse, it does not start on a new li...

While the above should do most of what you wanted there is still a small problem with the Pilcrow. Right now the following: $$ Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth. Will be turned into: \id GEN \c 1 \v 1 \p In the beginning \nd God\nd* created the heaven and the earth. But ...

And now version 4 also handles deity names (converting them from All-caps to Capitalized.

The "barebones" macro you made give this: \id Ge \c 1 \v 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Based on the intent of changing only references, it actually should be this: \id Ge \c 1 \v 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. \v 2 And the earth was wit...

Ok, so now here is an extended version of the previous macro. This adds a few things: It adds the change in abbreviations. In the macro this is done with a hash. This currently only covers the case of Ro -> ROM , but can easily be expanded. Ideally this expansion would also be done with a macro. Ask...

Here a few explanations to my 'barebones' macro. The first line of the macro is: $doc = Document.active This creates a document object, since to do just about anything in Nisus macro language you need a document object. Pretty much any macro will start with a line like that. Find All '^\$\$ [123]?[A...
