I'm not sure I understand, but if I do, here's a macro to get you started: $color = Prompt Options “What highlight color should be applied?”, “Please choose the color:”, “Apply”, “Red”, “Green”, “Blue” Menu “:Format:Highlight:$color” Hopefully the way to extend the macro is clear. If not, let me kn...

Quicklook in the Leopard works fine with Nisus documents, but not with macros. To check macros rapidly this feature would come particularly handy to flip through code. Would a plug-in be feasible? There is one for applescripts, BTW:

Here's a macro that takes the PowerFind Pro expressions as entered into the Find window and applies them to all open documents: # gather the find and replace expressions $findExpr = Read Find Expression $replaceExpr = Read Replace Expression # We iterate through all open documents, stopping when we...

Leopard has solved a longstanding problem with Nisus menus and Macros: If you had many of them or forgot the keyboard shortcuts, you couldn't find them anymore. Now you can often find them by entering part of the macroname or shortcut into the help window. This makes me wonder in what other ways Nis...

If you simply want to open a file in the default application associated with the file, you can use the Open URL command as follows: Open URL ‘file:///Users/shortname/Desktop/whatever.ext’ If you need to launch/use a specific application then I think you'll have to dip into AppleScript. Thanks, Mart...

Martin answered: All macro commands that manipulate/open Nisus files can be used on non-Nisus files as well. For example, if you have a plain text file on your desktop you could open it like so: Open '~/Desktop/file.txt' My question was meant somewhat differently: Let's say I work in a project with ...

It is easy to use the Nisus macro language to open other Nisus files. I use a macro that closes the front file and pastes "Open" plus its pathway into the file that becomes visible if the topmost one is closed by the macro Then you can select it and use "Run selection as Macro". ...

Is there a macro that selects everything in a document that is not actually selected?

Great. This works just fine. A user might have to keep in mind that the counter in his text has to be put into brackets.
Thanks.

Thank you. So I did this: $marker = '[Counter]' $count = 0 Set Selection 1, 0 While Find $marker, '-W' $count += 1 Type Text "$marker$count" End This works quite well. But if you repeat the process, numbers are added instead of replaced. To do replace them it would be necessary of doing a ...

# This macro searches your document for special bits of text that indicate where an ever # increasing numeric counter should be placed. $marker = '[Counter]' $count = 0 Set Selection 1, 0 While Find $marker $count += 1 Insert Text $count End Thanks for this useful macro, Martin. Still I think it wo...

Sometimes I do something and when a Press "Find Next" nothing happens even if there is a Next occurrence of what I search. On opening the Find Window I discover wy nothing happens. Somebody set "In Selection" under "Where". What have I been doing to inadvertently set &q...

I often need to find a certain type of numerical expression that occurs after a tab, and I thought I might write a simple macro that opens the find window, puts a tab and sets the cursor after it, like Find and Replace '\t', '', 'E!' Show find Select End But unexpectedly I run into two problems: 1) ...

Your sentence selecting macro won't do with a sentence like: "Drinking milk (cf. A. Porter: The softdrink in the Americas) is healthy." Could it be done at all? I suppose it is possible, it's just a matter of figuring out all unambiguous cases where a period does not indicate the end of a...

[quote="martin"]Hi Thomas, it's no problem. I've created the macros you asked for and placed them in our macro repository . Your sentence selecting macro won't do with a sentence like: "Drinking milk (cf. A. Porter: The softdrink in the Americas) is healthy." Could it be done at ...
