I am trying to get to grips with searching with formatting - in this case I wish to replace one word which is in bold with the same word without bold. Reading through the relevant sections of the manual on find and replace I cannot exactly work out how to do this. In the attached file I would like t...

Philip,

Thank you for confirming that it is not possible to directly apply an existing file.

Importing a document into a new file does have the same effect (and saving over the original file), but does not a few extra steps.

I am sure a Nisus Writer Pro macro would solve the problem...

Is it still the case there is no direct way of apply a template to an existing document, as it appears from the posting: https://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5631#p25668 . What I wish to do: 1. open a Nisus Writer Pro file; 2. apply an existing template to that open file (not only paragr...

Thank you for the replies.

I will try the macros you have provided.

The intention is to remove the text and the table.

Doing a search just for the text and replacing it with nothing, leaves the table.

I have to download a number of rtf files - each of them appear to contain a number of 1 cell tables with a boarder, and containing the same text ("Document Information"). Is it possible to search for this. I have tried copying the table into the Search box but doing so only copies the text...

Thank you for posting this information about how to stop DevonThink Pro affecting the formatting of a RTF file.

To open a RTF file in Nisus with the use of the keyboard it is also possible to use Shift + Command + O.

I would like to know whether it is possible to have a macro where I am able to add (or go back)1 day to today's date.

I understand to get today's date:
so $today = date. now + 1 day

Is there a(n easy) way to do this in Nisus Writer Pro?

Thank you for the reply. Using: Instead use the "Save in Document Manager > Templates" command directly to create the template and save it. solves the issue. But leads to another: 1. I synchronise settings between 3 Macs (Preferences / General / Sycnchronised setings location). 2. On the 2...

Philip, Thank you for the reply. After some more testing I think I got it: Path: /Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nisus Writer Settings/Templates/ Template: notary - basic template.dot means: $template = ‘/Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nisus Writer Settings/Templates/notary - basic template.dot’ new $templa...

I have created my first template. I created an ordinary file and set up the formats I needed (margins and added some text). I saved it then as a template and in the folder where the other templates are stored by Nisus Writer Pro. This folder is /Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nisus Writer Settings/Templ...

I would like to know how to create a new file using a stored template as part of a macro.

Templates are stored in /Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nisus Writer Settings/Templates.

I know it is possible to create a new file with a macro command (eg File:New).

Martin,

Thank you the information. With the revised code the macro runs again.

I am using Nisus Writer Pro 3.0 on macOS 10.14.1. On running the macro I am getting the following error message (which previously ran without problem): There was an error on line 2 in the macro "test import" Could not access the file "/Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nisus Writer Settings/...

Philip, Adrian, Thank you for the detailed responses. I did not realise it was possible to select paragraphs with a Nisus Writer Pro macro. I have only follow-up question regarding AppleScript and the Do Menu Macro with macro command. This only permits the running of a successive Nisus Writer Pro co...

I realise that using the Nisus Writer Pro macro language is the preferred approach, but since I am first trying to learn AppleScript I would like to know if/how the following is possible: 1. In AppleScript select successive paragraphs (eg the first paragraph, the second paragraph); then 2. with Do M...
