Re: A macro to do macros
After yesterday's macro writing lesson here a different approach. The following macro will create a "Find and Replace" macro for each word in the selection. It isn't really "one click" though. The user will be prompted to give a replacement for each unique word in the selection. ...

Re: A macro to do macros
Hello Pat, what you want is not really too difficult, but the way you state your request is still underspecified. Here first a hint at how one can make such a macro. You can do it using the macroize function :o Open the Find box, switch to Powerfind Write "hello" in the find box and "...

Re: Find problem
Did you check under "Character Case" > "Display as Small Caps"?
Alternatively there is also under Edit > Convert > "To Small Caps".
The two varieties find different things.

Re: Setting heading numbering font different from heading fo
Ok, I see that I was too dismissive. Indeed one can apply style attributes to the List levels individually, and they carry through. That's nice :love: . There are two limitiations that I see however, one in particular is likely to be a problem for blakers. First one can only apply attributes, but no...

Re: More clipboard tools - smart cut, smart copy.
Hi Lou, congratulations on your cool macros! :) I did find one issue however. For users (like me) who have some clipboards that are not named according to the schema "Clipboard n" this can lead to an infinite loop which generates a never-ending list of clipboards. The problem is that as th...

Re: Tiered numbered headings problems
OK, the problem seems to be something very technical, but here it is. Even though your Heading styles have the "Headings" List style attached, you seem to have fiddled with the List Style definition independently. This seems to mean that the List Style of the Heading Style is not really th...

Re: Tiered numbered headings problems
Well just to be clear I have: Heading 1 defined including Tiered List Style Heading 2 based on Heading 1 with List level increased Heading 3 based on Heading 2 with List level increased And the result works for me. I am attaching my sample. If you want you can post your file and I (or somebody) will...

Re: Tiered numbered headings problems
Have you checked the List Style Preference? Go to the style sheet, select the List Style you are using for the numbering and make sure that "Continue numbering across document content" is checked.

Re: Setting heading numbering font different from heading fo
There is no built-in way to do this, but you can try one of the following: You can apply style definitions to the List Style. I actually don't recommend this, because List Styles seem to turn flaky when given style attributes. A better solution is to use a character style on the numbers. To avoid th...

Re: Text manipulation
In the Nisus provided "Sum Selection" macro you'll find that the first line reads: $numbers = Read Selection I bet that you can figure out what that does. Now there are basically two approaches. Since your find command selects something like "[123]" you can either read the whole ...

Re: Blinking coloured I-Beam also in Draft View
Colored text in draft view definitely does appear colored in draft view. (Full screen is a different matter.) But I also just checked the (blinking) cursor. You are right the cursor color is not carried over to draft view. That must be a bug. You should report it.

Re: Simple Macro not working
Hello again, I have downloaded your files and I even had a look at the movie. Well you are doing everything correctly. That is how it should work. I have identfied the culprit that is preventing your macro from finding anything, and it is a ruler. I don't know how it got there, but if you remove it ...

Re: Search for paragraph attributes Space Before and Indents
2. Thanks also for the macro template. But based on the first line of your macro: Find All '.+', 'Eu' how do I set other amounts than 2 pts, eg. 4 pt or 12 pt? How to indicate space after? I also tried creating 2 macros from a Find for 2 pt space before and another for 4 pt space before and they bo...

Re: Simple Macro not working
Thanks for all the quick replies. I should have mentioned that the macroized version does not work. You did mention this. And I think we have narrowed 'doesn't work' down to an attribute problem. So I hope we can help you get to the bottom of this. Probably you pasted the macroized code into a docu...
