I suppose it comes down to how long you're going to want to keep the information around. A glossary entry may be useful if you're going to use a bit of text over and over for days, but storing it in a secondary clipboard might be a better use of time if the text will only be used during the current ...

Basically you want to group whatever part of the pattern is not the text you want to capitalize in the look ahead/behind. Let's represent your find expression like this: "(pre)(modify)(post)". Basically you want to transform it to be "(?<=pre)modify(?=post)". In this way only the...

Thanks to Sam for submitting a file via feedback. The asterisks bleed into your document whenever you save and close your file when the selection is zero length and rests in the body of a footnote. I'll file a bug, but please be aware that even if we do fix this, asterisks that have already bled int...

Are you certain you are using the latest public beta (number 2)? What you're describing sounds exactly like a bug that was fixed.

If your version is correct, please submit a feedback report with the file by using the menu Help > Send Feedback. Thanks.

I would have thought you could do so using the note reference tooltips, but this isn't working. I'll file a bug.

Depending on your search pattern, you might be able to use positive look ahead/behind to only select the bits of text you want to change case on. Here's a simple example. Note that the notation for positive look ahead is "(?=expression)" and look behind is "(?<=expression)". So l...

There remains a little problem though: If the file name is more than one word, the Nisus macro is unhappy. I tried to drag the icon of such a onto a Terminal window, wich sets the \ signs before spaces. But this still does not work. Can spaces (or other incompatible characters) in file names be dea...

You're talking about the hyperlink feature you mentioned in this thread, correct? Hmm, you might try creating an alias to the MarsEdit application, and then inserting a hyperlink to that alias in your NWP document.

If you simply want to open a file in the default application associated with the file, you can use the Open URL command as follows: If you need to launch/use a specific application then I think you'll have to dip into AppleScript.

I can't find any easy way to convert these text boxes to normal/inline text, sorry.

There's no quick replace expression that converts the found text to uppercase (or title case). However, once you've done a Find All, you can simply use the menu Edit > Convert > To Uppercase.

Thanks, that makes sense gemboy, especially in the context of the rest of his comment.

All macro commands that manipulate/open Nisus files can be used on non-Nisus files as well. For example, if you have a plain text file on your desktop you could open it like so:

Paolo is correct in this. More specifically, Nisus Writer Pro does not support floating text boxes, which is probably where most of the content in your Word document is stored.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by "open a none Nisus file". Do you mean open a new document?

Hi Al- background color is a text attribute that we definitely should add a menu to control. In the meantime you'll have to make use of the menu Format > Remove All Attributes Except Styles to clear the coloring.
