Macro form of Find (and Replace) not illustrated in Manual
Posted: 2013-11-19 19:00:24
On page 409 of the manual it has this:
Find and replace
Find text, [options]
Finds and selects the given text. Options is a string, each letter turning on a separate feature.
This gives the impression that you just put the find string after Find and then the options in square brackets, like this:
Find Patrick, [r]
To mean Find the string "Patrick" going backwards through the document.
However you actually use single quotes like this:
Find 'Patrick', 'r'
I don't think that someone totally new to Nisus Writer would be able to work out how to do this from this section in the manual.
The example for Find and Replace has the same problem.
