G’day, Stef et al Philip just beat me to the Capitalized to Small Caps trick. But you need to be aware that a complication will arise if the list contains names such as “McDonald”, “MacDonald” or “Macdonald”. There would also be problems if the text contains uppercase strings that are not family nam...

G’day, Ulrich et al Sorry if my explanation was not clear enough. Not to worry! Unfortunately, I don’t think there is an easy way to accomplish what you want. What I would do is wait until the manuscript is complete, then I would locate each page that contains the beginning of a new Section. If a Se...

G’day, Ulrich et al When you choose “Same Page” for the Section Break, it just means that the new Section starts on the same page as the previous Section: it doesn’t necessarily affect the Header on that page.

G’day, Tom et al In very brief outline, one way to do this is to modify the “Number List” List Style in the Styles Library. Click on a given list level in Styles View and modify its format in the Lists palette. The trick here is to put “Requirement ” [that’s with a space] in the Before Text field an...

G’day! Searching for "(AnyCharacter)" will only find occurrences of a single character delimited by parentheses. If you are using PowerFind, try "(AnyCharacter 1+Shortest)” instead, where I have included a space merely to separate the two wildcards here, for legibility. If you are usi...

G'day, all Yes, after many years' absence from Nisus forums (but not from Nisus products — I'm still in mourning from the demise of Nisus Email), I'm back. The easiest way to circumvent the text typesetting problem is to keep the file open! Save it after use and Minimize it to the Dock where it is e...
