Re: Change font & Size

Hi Mark: That's very generous of you to produce all of this. At a quick glance I think what you're doing is what I'm trying to do, except that your way works and mine doesn't..... Thank you for that and for encouraging me to think about my own macro collection. I have received so much generous help...

Re: Change font & Size

Here you are, try this! Tacitus.zip When you unzip it, you'll find five files: Tacitus-macro.nwm, Tacitus-styles.rtf, Tacitus-test.rtf, Tacitus.scrformat and Tacitus-test.scriv. First off you need to import the macro into your NWP macros folder and move/copy Tacitus-styles.rtf into your NWP style li...

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Tacitus, Just quickly as I've got to go out for a while… My immediate reaction to your post was "Why is he opening copying the compiled RTF file in NWP and copying all the text in into a new NWP document?" But then I realised you were doing it to put the text into an existing template. ...

Re: Change font & Size

Hello, The thing is, in Scrivener footnotes/endnotes are "No Style". When compiled to RTF and opened in NWP, if you put your cursor in a footnote and look at the Formatting inspector, you will see it is assigned "Normal" paragraph style together with "Footnote" and &quo...

Re: Change font & Size

After I posted that, it struck me that if you have superscripts set in your Scrivener project, when you compile to RTF, the macro as given wont remove the superscript setting, which you will need done. I'll give that more thought … or perhaps Philip will if he has time, even though this macro is way...

Re: Change font & Size

Hi Tacitus, Like you I use Scrivener for long-form writing etc. and compile to open in RTF. Not only do I too find any superscripts too small, but I also dislike the fact that Scrivener basically raises the baseline to create a superscript, rather than also changing the font size, so it creates ugly...

Re: RegEx, can someone explain, please

Hello Martin and Adrian, I feel somewhat vindicated in starting this thread, in that, as Martin acknowledges, there is an error in the manual re \b. While waiting for any answers, I did some research myself. A fellow Scrivener user pointed out that Scrivener uses the stock RegEx engine supplied by t...

RegEx, can someone explain, please

On the Scrivener forum, a user wanted to search their project simultaneously for the word "house" as well as "garden", "gardens", "gardener" etc, but without finding "household" etc. Obviously, the answer is to use RegEx, so I turned to NWP as the be...

Re: Global setting for Draft view margin?

<snip> Thank you for the bug description and sample document. It looks like the problem is related to the vertical ruler. If you hide the vertical ruler the problem goes away. <snip> We'll have to investigate further to see how this issue might be fixed. Thanks again, and sorry for the nuisance. I ...

Re: Global setting for Draft view margin?

I'm running NWP 3.2.2 under Monterey 12.2 on both a 2015 5K iMac (Intel) and an M1 MacBook Air. On both, I can't use the mouse to place the cursor before either of the first or second characters in Adrian's example, or drag to highlight from either of the first two characters. So it seems this is a ...

Re: How to select paragraphs after other paragraphs with particular styles?

Martin, here is my concatenated Scrivener --> MD --> NWP macro. It: Uses the "MarkDown Preview" macro code to open an RTF copy of the file; Uses the "Import Styles" macro code you created years ago to import a style collection and apply those styles; A simple code removes blank l...

Re: Making Image Float

Nisus is wonderful, but it's not a page layout program, truth be told. If you have a lot of images that need text wrapping and flowing around them, it may be better to maybe write your text in Nisus and then export it to something like InDesign, QuarkXPress, or Canvas (am I missing any?). I'd agree...

Re: How to select paragraphs after other paragraphs with particular styles?

Thanks Martin. It works brilliantly. With just a few small things that I might occasionally need to sort on the fly, I have a pretty much automated workflow Scrivener --> MD --> NWP, which means I no longer have to worry about styles and other layout matters. I'll have a go at concatenating it all i...

Hello, Martin, Adrian, et .al. I've been trying out Martin's Macro and it works beautifully. so the workflow is currently: Export text to .MD from Scrivener; Open .MD file in NWP; Run the "MarkDown Preview" macro; Run my "Set Styles" macro to import and apply my standard styles; ...
