Try this instead.

Because in the footnote style sheet, there is an option under "note References" where you can control the period; it appears in the "after text" box. Delete that period and it should delete it. But if my memory serves, this may depend on the version of Nisus you are running. Older versions inserted...

I was just kidding. .arrayByMakingValuesDoCommand is my favorite macro language feature and I go out of my way to use it whenever I can :D I think the current Nisus macro language is a very good balance between powerful and still manageable for someone who doesn't want to become a full-time programm...

Up late?

So it would seem… Happens too often

In way of explanation: Nisus' strong point is Find . In the macro language a Find statement used on a text object will produce a selection object, or, if you use the "Find All" option, an array of selections. So the first thing is to write the Find statement that you want. I wrote: $doc.text.find '^...

I am appending here a macro that will copy the first floating contents of your file to every following page. It will also make sure to copy and adjust the settings - including text flow. Note that you will need to insert the first one manually before you run this. This will probably work best if you...

So comparing all the different digits you would join together macro code like ($number == 1) || ($number == 2) || ($number == 3) || ... … and with the added wrinkle that you will need to further combine the expressions pairwise with further parentheses. This truly reminds me of Mark Twain's essay T...

$searchRange = Range.new(0, $selection.location)
$foundSelection = $selection.text.find('\d+', 'Er', $searchRange)

That's been one of those features that I have been looking for for some time now. Seems it was introduced in NW 3.0 but it slipped by me for some reason.

If you understood all that you can now squeeze the whole logic into one statement like this: $sel = TextSelection.active if $sel.text.substringInRange(Range.new($sel.location - 1, 1)).find('\d','E') prompt 'digit' else prompt 'not a digit' end But whether that's recommended is another question :lol:

if $theFoundCharacter = ? … else … end How can I replace the question mark with something that indicates "Any digit" or that a digit was found? Here the first thing to note is that if you want to test a variable you will need to use the double equal sign "==", not just a single one. So you could te...

I need to find out whether the character that precedes the insertion point is a number or not. In case it's a number, the macro will do some stuff. In case it's not, the macro will do some other stuff. How can I do that? I tried $theFoundCharacter = Find @Text<\X>, 'rE' This will not give you what ...

I'm sorry that you had such trouble. If you can save a document with problems like that you might want to share it (Perhaps with Nisus using the feedback button. Tell them I sent you :P ) I just tried a very simple test: 10 Pages of copied text. I randomly inserted 17 Drop Caps without a hitch. My s...

Here is my 2 cents on this issue. I am attaching a group of 3 macros which might help a bit. Let's assume you have one drop cap in your document already. Place your cursor in a subsequent paragraph where you want another. Then run the first macro: Insert DropCap At Current Paragraph This macro will ...

Adrian's method is fine, and I use it all the time, but there are number of caveats. Strictly speaking Adrian's method creates a combined list and then removes items that can be paired. If either list contains duplicates, this could change the result. Also it will leave the unique items from either ...
