Can a macro rename a list style? If so, I think a macro could improve the process of importing MS Word documents that include list formatting. It appears to me that MS Word has named paragraph styles but does not have named list styles. In Word, paragraph styles include list formatting. In Nisus, Pa...

Thanks, Mark! That's a simple, effective solution.

The user guide section on Tab Stops is mostly silent on the behavior of the ruler when multiple paragraphs are selected with different tab stops. It would be helpful to explain this.

Obviously the ideal solution for what I'm about to ask is to define a new paragraph style with the desired tab stops, but sometimes I'm too lazy to do that. (I need to overcome that resistance: defining a style is pretty easy.) My question is whether there is an easier way to enforce the same tab st...

Thanks, Martin! Selecting a macro certainly is as easy as selecting a menu command, so that's a perfect solution to the second problem.

How can I make newly created tables have left alignment instead of center alignment? (I refer to the alignment of the table itself, not the alignment of text within each table cell.) Can I add this to the Normal paragraph style? I would like this also to apply to tables created by the "convert ...

Thanks, Martin!

The following macro is based on a different approach recommended by Martin two years ago: http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3921 Note that Step 1 (Convert to Fixed Content) preserves the current selection, but I don’t know how to limit Step 2 to the current selection. Perhaps Martin ca...

Thanks, Martin

Your trick works!

It also works in a macro if you include a graphic image between the quotes that delimit the search string.

How can I search for a graphic image in a document?

My actual desire is more specific: to apply a desired paragraph style to all paragraphs containing a graphic image, or even more narrowly, to all paragraphs containing only a graphic image and no text.

Have any patent lawyers devised a way to restart line numbers for each claim and leave an unnumbered blank line between claims?
