G'day, Vanceone et al This is a really interesting problem, but I'm afraid I only have time at present for some remarks and hints. The Custom Date & Time command does not allow for conditional text which ordinal suffixes require. I always use ISO 8601 formatting for dates and times; it has many adva...

G'day, wF et al

It looks like it was bundled with NWP.

G'day, wF et al Oops! The Capture function was a leftover from my testing with the OR function, so it's not needed for these separate searches with PowerFind. gamma[AnyCharacter][0-5 Times]delta delta[AnyCharacter][0-5 Times]gamma BTW, I subsequently discovered that there is a Find Nearby Words Macr...

G'day, wF et al This is probably best done using a Macro. But here are some Find expressions you could try, where "gamma" and "delta" are the two words in question. PowerFind, where the square brackets indicate inbuilt PowerFind expressions available via the cogwheel drop-down menu:– [Capture(]gamma...

G'day, UsableThought02 et al Vanceone's suggestion of a "New from Template…" command is a good one. Remember, too, that you can always save a document that has all the characteristics you want as a stationery pad in the Finder. Just tick the relevant checkbox in the file's Get Info window. Hencefort...

G'day, Vanceone et al Allow me to advance an alternative perspective. Apart from special contexts (as with some Internet search engines, for example), no matter what form of search you use, there is no room for error in framing your Find and Replace expressions. You have to pay scrupulous attention ...

G'day, Mark et al Search is "greedy", meaning it will return the longest string that matches the Find conditions. I suspect you merely searched for text delimited by opening and closing parentheses, which was too broad a search, hence the over-inclusive result. A more specific PowerFind search strin...

G'day, all It's important to be aware that text within a Text Box is not considered as a substring of any "adjacent" string when it comes to Find & Replace. This means that a whole word with one or more initial characters displayed as drop caps by means of a graphic device will not be found in a sea...

G'day, Simon et al That sounds like too much hard work! Which suggests that an entirely different strategy might be worth considering. I've never used WordPress, and it's not entirely clear to me whether it acts as a blog host or merely as a blog construction kit. If the latter doesn't seem to be wo...

G'day, jb et al No doubt someone will supply an elegant Macro to accomplish what you want, but other approaches are possible, among them use of the supplied "Compare Documents" Macro. Assuming the two documents are constructed similarly, here's another (non-Macro) method you could try:– (1) Duplicat...

G'day, wF et al Short answer: I'm not 100% sure. Longer answer: If you already have Nisus Writer Pro on your computer, things like Preferences, Styles and such generally remain intact when you install updates or upgrades of the application. So I don't anticipate there would be a problem. I think Nis...

G’day, wF et al

Simply relaunching a problematic application may not be enough. It might be worthwhile reinstalling it.

G'day, wF et al

No problem evident here with partial (>73,000 words) or complete selection in a Lorem ipsum document (NWP 3.2.1) containing more than 76,000 words.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, wF et al

No problem evident here with non-contiguous selections totalling more than 25,000 words in a Lorem ipsum document (NWP 3.2.1) containing almost 27,000 words.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, wF et al I haven't dealt with such long documents for a long time, but I too have observed sluggish typesetting behavior with NWP — for example, even on short A6 documents of less than 1,000 words. I can't recall whether it only began with NWP 3 or whether it happened with previous versions. ...
