The problem is that after each Replace command the replaced text is selected. Currently there is no way to preserve the selection when a replacement is made, but we have it filed as a feature we need to add. The best you can manage right now is to manually save and restore the selection using the Se...

Adding these lines to the macro should do the trick:

Code: Select all

# clean spaces between parenthesis/braces/brackets and adjacent content
Replace All ‘([({\[]) +’, ‘\1’, ‘E’
Replace All ‘(?<=\S)([({\[])’, ‘ \1’, ‘E’
Replace All ‘([)}\]])(?=\S)’, ‘\1 ’, ‘E’
Replace All ‘ +([)}\]])’, ‘\1’, ‘E’
Cheers!

We do not have a preference that automatically does this whenever you make a selection. However, it is a convention on OSX that double-click and drag (don't let the mouse up after the second mouse down) will allow you to make a selection that only includes whole words at a time. I hope this helps. A...

Thanks Geoff, I've received your documents. Unfortunately we are no closer to understanding the cause. We can't even reproduce the warning messages with the (non-Canon) printers we have in office. As you may know, the printing and display systems on OSX are connected in a way that allows developers ...

Of course, in Word one must explicitly update the cross-references (right-click the cross-reference and choose the update menu). If you have a file that indeed...

Hello Ian, The page size for the document is actually taken from the print settings. So you'll want to use the menu File > Page Setup , choose your paper size, and then click OK. One note: if you have more than a single section in your document you'll want to select all the sections you want to modi...

Hi Brooke, This is indeed a bug in PowerFind that was introduced in NWP 1.0.1. The problem can be triggered whenever two of the same PowerFind bubbles (eg: "Return") are placed directly next to one another. We will have this issue fixed in the next update we release, but in the meantime he...

These kinds of macros will require a simple combination of find commands and style menu items. Basically you'll want to find the text that meets your criteria and then apply your style.
