You can export from Bento to CSV and open that in Tables. From Tables, you can select, copy and paste into Nisus, which gives you tab-delimited rows and you can use "Convert to Table" to turn it into a Nisus Table. You can do the same thing using Numbers, what you can't do with Numbers is ...

I was going to suggest trying Tables, which I know supports CKJ languages very well, but I'm not sure whether it also handles RTL languages. All the languages in the "Text" pane drop down are LTR languages, and I presume are there for determining sorting conventions. Daniel Schwill, the de...

Thank you Henry and Martin. I use PowerFind Pro by default and knew I could do it in that, but I was thinking of a macro that I could allocate a keystroke combination to so that I wouldn't have to enter the string into Find and Replace each time I wanted to run it, which would not be at highly regul...

Help needed: macro to replace ñ with – (en-dash)

Can someone help me please. I have encountered a glitch in the workflow Scrivener --> Exported RTF --> Bookends scan --> NWP. Scrivener uses the Apple text engine -- the same problem arises with TextEdit -- and exports en-dashes as Hex '96. NWP can read that OK, but when scanned with Bookends, the e...

Re: thanks for your replies

Thanks to all for the help. It is strange that MS Word can assign control and R but not Nisus. The issue mentioned above about the command key does not prevent Word from doing what I want. Geoff's suggestion is a good one, though, and likely all I need. hilde Basically MS Word — unless you're on 20...

AHowever, the good news is that I found three programs so far that do not display this symptom, one being Mellel and the other NeoOffice, and the last one being Apple's own TextEdit. But then Apple's own word application, Pages, is one of the worst. Not being a programmer myself, I don't know why s...

Hi K9, If you are sure you haven't got different varieties of English between your text and the spelling checker, the other reason for which words you know to be correct are underlined is that the dictionary as installed simply doesn't include that word, or anything that is close enough that it can ...

In NWP (and internally inside RTF files as well) language is a character attribute. So just as the font differs across different bits of text in your document, so can the language. If the "English (US)" language is applied to some text, NWP will by default automatically switch the spellch...

Re: A problem with quotation marks

Hi everyone, I have a little problem with quotation marks. I usually write in french and, by convention, we have to put a space between each quotation mark and the word beside of it. For exemple : «SPACEblablablaSPACE». (In french, quotation marks looks like this : « », instead of this '' '' ). Thi...

Alternatively, selecting your text in Scrivener, copying it and then using Edit>Paste>Paste Text Only in Nisus Writer Pro should solve your problem, too. It would, except that Scrivener works primarily on the basis of text being held in a "binder" split up into small manageable chunks whi...

No, I've tried selecting all, resetting options, new files, everything. I still get a reversion to US English. Jenni, 1: Have you edited your Nisus New File and made sure that that is set for British English? If not, any new file will open up as American English. 2: Any file that you open in NWP th...
