Re: Multiple TOCs

Nisus Writer Pro does allow multiple TOCs and can generate a separate TOC just for your document's figures. The trick is that each figure's title/caption paragraph needs to be marked for TOC inclusion. You can't do that using List Styles because List Styles can't enforce arbitrary formatting. The so...

Re: Select a list as a group.

What is the \X stand for? Hello Lou, Happy new year. The wildcard "\X" selects anything. So "\X+" matches whatever you have. It corresponds to the wildcard Any . To expand on this a little bit: \X is a character class that will match any Unicode grapheme cluster . That's any sin...

Re: Non-specialist struggling with a Synology NAS

That's nice to hear of a possible reversal to your bad situation. Let us know what you decide and how it goes. Either way, it's great that this company is taking responsibility and standing by their services.

It's nice to be able to help you out instead of having you always answer our questions for a change! Happy to do it. I hope the address change "sticks" too.
Thanks Vance, that's very good of you. I appreciate all your contributions here!

Re: Compare Documents macro: Perl syntax error

For some reason the Compare Documents has been working fine for several days work on chapters of a book I'm typesetting, but today it stopped and I get this message repeatedly, which I am unable to decipher. Any clues? Perl reported an error: diff: unrecognized option `--old-group-format=<<-%<->>' ...

Re: Find all the questions in a document

If you're not too picky about selecting enclosing quotation marks, this PowerFind Pro / regex search expression should do the trick:

Re: repeating characters vs. display of character accents

settings>Wallet & Apple Pay>transaction defaults>address - edit as needed. AHA! My old address was in this area and checkmarked as the default. It seems stupid that Apple doesn't mirror this info in the Payments & Shipping area. One would assume the underlying data is unified. Well, now tha...

Re: Absolutely frustrating behaviour of pictures and text boxes

There appear to be problems even when widow/orphan layout options are disabled. The visibility and placement of floating content is really wonky and unpredictable. It's quite crazy.

Re: Absolutely frustrating behaviour of pictures and text boxes

The image moves down the page until its associated paragraph moves to the next page, whereupon the image disappears. On insertion of the next return, the image reappears but at the beginning of the document. On inserting yet another return, the image moves to the beginning of its associated paragra...

Re: repeating characters vs. display of character accents

Martin, maybe try logging into your Apple ID account on apple.com? They contain addresses there, I think. Perhaps the old address exists there? That's a good idea, thanks Vance! Unfortunately no joy. The only place I found for any addresses was under "Payment Method", which already had my...

Re: repeating characters vs. display of character accents

That is great! Thanks for all the tips Þorvarður. I guess the cause was probably that HB has somehow accidentally changed the ApplePressAndHoldEnabled setting in the macOS "defaults" subsystem. I wonder where it is exposed in the system preferences– if at all now. It's a common complaint a...

Re: repeating characters vs. display of character accents

No sir! I saw the Apple literature. Bare as a baby's behind concerning this phenomenon. My Apple keyboard/input is stock. All was well until three days ago, when I lost the 'accent feature menu' when holding down a key, and it 'reverted' to repeating characters. Hrm, that's a potential lead: have y...

Re: Error message using Nisus on a Synology NAS

My only thought is to use Disk Utility to check the storage's volume format, to make sure it's something friendly to Apple, e.g. Apple File System (APFS) . That should enable Apple file system goodies, like document versioning. But I don't have any experience with NAS. There may be something endemic...

Re: repeating characters vs. display of character accents

Thanks for your response, Nisus celeb. hah! 😎 Here is mine: I'm on a 2019 iMac, updated to Ventura 13.0.1. I have never modified my keyboard; it's "stock". I wonder if there is, in fact, some unpublished key combination that might switch between states? That's current and should behave as...
