The deviation where the macro selects 3 words instead of 2 is actually a "bug". I'm very pleased to say, that with your help I think I have now got exactly what I wanted. I discovered that my "Lorem Ipsum" dummy text (the beginning of Conrad's Heart of Darkness), which I have al...

Grüezi Philip, As always, thank you very much for your help. This is what I was looking for. There seems to be a slight aberration though, because the macro selects 6,525 words instead of 6,500. If I want just 2 words selected and change the macro accordingly, I get 3 words selected instead of 2. Th...

Hello Philip et al., There are scenarios where I need to see how much text the first, let's say, 6500 words of a document amounts to (the word number may differ), and how many pages it will require. If I do this manually, I have to select the text several times, until I finally find the exact number...

I found that the spinning ball versions seemed to retain a lot of deleted text. I did something and heaps of deleted text appeared. Are you talking about versions, the feature in File > Revert To > Browse All Versions ? Not sure how to clear the stuff in the future! The first question you need to a...

I don't use iDrive, but can't you change the user-specified backup time to every 2 hours, to see if iDrive is causing of the problem? Apart from that, I would consider the following: 1. Does this happen in other applications too? 2. Have you checked and repaired your disk with Disk Utility? 3. Run S...

Select the file icon in Finder, copy with Command + c, and paste into your Nisus document. That will add a hyperlink to the file.

Isn't this what you want to do?

If you change the system setting while NWP is running, it behaves properly. Hi Martin, In other words, toggling the the OSX system preference only corrects the misbehavior as long as Nisus stays open . If I quit Nisus and open it again, then it's back again. Seems as if Nisus suffers from some sort...

I'm on an iMac with OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" now, and guess what? The problem is still happening: I have my scrollbar behaviour set to "jump to the spot that's clicked", but Nisus Writer Pro doesn't honour it, it still scrolls by one page. Hi Eric, first press and hold down the Opt...

I have not had this problem, but I would first try toggling the auto-save feature here: System Preferences > General > "Ask to keep changes when closing documents" If that doesn't help, then you might want to consider disabling the auto-save feature in Nisus altogether. Here is a tip with ...

So the line always has to start '$variable &='

So that was the crux of the matter! Now I understand. I think the Nisus people may have forgotten to make this clear in the Macro Reference.

Thank you also very much for the example, which, by the way, was not so stupid at all.

The "&=" operator is perfectly valid. Thank you Philip for the clarification. It's a string append operator. Could you give me examples of how to use this correctly? It would be very helpful. Actually, I assumed I was appending one string to another string, but neither [1] nor [2] wor...

This has never been part of the macro language. In fact it doesn't even make sense. Philip, you say the operator "&=" does not exist and would make no sense; but what does it then mean in the Macro Reference when it says: "both values are treated as strings and concatenated (eg: ...

in NW 2.1 the location of the Nisus New File is now in the ~/Nisus Documents/Templates/' folder… It's good that you mention this. Is the "Nisus Documents" folder also not more inside the Documents folder? Mine is here: /Users/Home/Documents/Nisus Documents Which files should now be in the...

Code: Select all

$path = $path & '/' & $fileName

I changed this one line, and happy days are here again!!!

This has never been part of the macro language. In fact it doesn't even make sense. Here is the whole macro. It's based on a macro written by Kino, but I guess I must have screwed it up. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. :wink: To achieve the same goal, a much shorter and simpler macro would...
