And here also a version for the reverse conversion. Again I used the input/output of Kino's macro, and just 'simplified' the conversion. I also 'loosened' the types of numerals the macro accepts. ### Roman Numeral to Arabic Numeral ### # Convert Roman numeral(s) in selection(s) to Arabic numeral(s)....

Well I think it is probably wrong to think that Roman numerals are numbers in any sense that we know. They really just an abbreviatory way to write out numbers as words. One thing though is that Roman numerals reflect pretty directly the numbers as represented on an abacus. Presumably Romans would n...

I know Kino is a very clever person, and excellent macro writer. So Roman numerals are much too stupid a technology for him. I think his approach to this problem is way too obscure. Sometimes less is more. So here is my approach. I have stolen Kino's excellent approach to handling the input, but I r...

Actually, Nisus Writer Pro is a bit more capable than phspaelti suggests. If you add a bookmark to your document and then insert a cross-reference to that bookmark you can jump to the bookmarked text by double-clicking the cross-reference. This is explained in the User's Guide. I hope that helps. M...

Actually, no. This is not what macros are at all. A macro is the ability to combine simple commands into a larger, complex command. What you are looking for is the ability to create a link within a document and this is unfortunately something that Nisus can't do. Nisus allows the following: - to cre...

It sounds like you are putting the images in-line. I would make the images float. This allows you to have the images in the margin, and even overlapping the edge of the page.

Yes, Section Break (Same Page) works as if it were Section Break (Next Page) for a page having a footnote. I hope this oddity will be fixed in a near future.

Well, there you go. I guess people like me, who never use footnotes, don't know about these things

But you can insert a section break "same page". Then there will be no page break. If you want the text of the header to change, you will need to insert a section break in NWP. As far as I know there is no other way. Anyhow to recapitulate: what you are looking for is the ability to insert ...

I'm not sure why Martin is so quick to dismiss a macro solution. The following is a 'quick and dirty' macro that would seem to do the job, but it has not been really battle tested. Use at your own risk (Place the cursor at the top of your file to start.) $selRange = TextSelection.activeRange :Insert...

Hello Paul, there are at least two ways you can chain macros together. Let's assume you have 3 macros: Macro_A, Macro_B, Macro_C. You could write another macro like this: Macro_A Macro_B Macro_C That should work fine. From your comments I am thinking maybe you tried pasting the actual macro code of ...

I just keep Nisus open and running 24/7. So I guess I don't see the splash screen too often, or worry about how long it takes to load.

Have you tried using styles? You can adjust the styles to your liking using the Style sheet view. Or perhaps you are talking about a separator line (to separate the header from the document)? The following methods can be used: Use a leader tab Insert a line graphic (You'll have to make the graphic i...

Just to flog a dead horse (and beat my own drum ) replace the Nisus repository macro with the macro I provided a few comments ago in this thread. That macro will check and make sure you have hyphenation on.

Thanks Martin.
I am slowly starting to figure this out.

I see what you are saying. But it happens in saved macros too, if the text used to create the new document comes from a string as opposed to text. So the following macro shows the problem if even it is saved and run from the menu: $doc = Document.active $sel = $doc.selectedSubstrings Document.newWit...
