Re: Entering UTF-8 code points in Find and Replace
G'day, Mark et al As an example, the Unicode code for lowercase "t" is U+0074. You can determine this either from the System's Character Viewer or (once an instance of the character is selected) from Nisus Writer's Formatting Examiner. The Find/Replace expression you want (in PowerFind Pro...

Re: Change the Normal Style via Macro
G'day, Lou et al Why not just change it in the Style Sheet? Alternatively, as long as the cursor is situated within a paragraph with Normal Style (because that's the one you want to change), you could invoke a simple Macro with the following two lines (with your choice of font):– Format:Paragraph St...

Re: Introducing Clipboarder
G'day, Lou et al I'm afraid this is not working well for me at present. The Copy Macro fails to create a Saved Clipboards folder. If one is created manually, it remains empty on execution of the Macro. Also, the Copy Macro sometimes sets the contents of one of the Clipboards to "EMPTY CLIPBOARD...

Re: Introducing Clipboarder
G'day, Lou et al I like the way this is heading, as it makes the contents of multiple Clipboards more readily explicit than the inbuilt Clipboards Palette. However, it failed to create a Save Clipboards folder for me. I couldn't find one, and the Restore Macro says there are no Clipboards to restore...

Re: Switch to secondary font
G'day, all I also use Cliff's method for switching languages. By the way, it can be used for more than two languages (as can Philip's method). You need to be aware that this will probably change the keyboard layout, which may have other consequences. For example, Y and Z keys are interchanged on cha...

Re: Macro Driven Undo Conundrum Solved
G'day, Lou et al As is often the case, my comments are often directed at the assembled throng, rather than to the original poster. Just amplifying my previous comment, again for the less experienced: It’s a good idea to incorporate some sort of debugging device in your code at strategic points, so y...

Re: Macro Driven Undo Conundrum Solved
G'day, loulesko et al I'm not sure I would rely on an Undo command (in any application) to revert a file to its previous condition after a major operation. I think it's safer to work with a duplicate of the file. In relation to your use of the "Sleep" command, judicious use of the equivale...

Sections — Feature Requests
G'day, Martin et al We may already have touched on some of this before, but I thought it might be as well to address it again. I think the idea of having the Macro Language incorporate commands relating to Sections has already been advanced. Something else I would like to see is a pair of commands n...

Re: Extend Line to Right Line Indent
G'day, Philip et al I'd been successfully using our "Paragraph Straddling Section" Macro until I changed from manual hyphenation to automatic hyphenation, whereupon the line preceding the interposed Section failed to be extended to the Right Line Indent. If automatic hyphenation is enabled...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't
G'day, davidmacd et al Again, knowing your document is crucial. It occurs to me that there may even be some relatively obvious distinction between your superscripts and the rest of the content that you could exploit. For example, you've been searching for every formatting-sensitive occurrence of an ...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't
G'day, davidmacd et al First, I generally advise people considering extensive Find & Replace operations to know the contents of their document first. Obviously you do, as you are aware of multiple legitimate uses of en dashes in your document that mean that my simple offering will not suffice in...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't
G'day, davidmacd et al Maybe an easier solution would be to replace all your en dashes with hyphens, then replace just the hyphens in your superscripts with en dashes. You don’t need any fancy F/R expressions for this. The first part is simple. For the second part, you apply the Superscript command ...

I see the same thing: F/R works, but not when Macroized.

Insert the following expression (without quotation marks) in the "Find what" field of the Find & Replace window using PowerFind Pro: "[\u0590-\u05FF]"
