Re: Macro to make columns in table of uniform width
An aside: is there a way to see numerically the widths of the columns and tweak them? Yes. Since the last update the Nisus Macro language has commands to check and modify various table cell attributes, including the width. You should look in the macro reference (in the help menu). I haven't had muc...

Re: List/paragraph styles, & templates
Also, I want a paragraph style looks like the screenshot below with the second line of text and indent below the ruler set to 1.0, the number and indent above the ruler set to 1.5, and a left tab where the text starts set to 2.0. I can’t get this style ‘to stick.’ (The ‘My List’ and list.zrtf file ...

Re: Two different left indents
Paragraphs with multiple indents using soft-returns is a MS Word thing. Real word processors don't do that. I would use styles related with "Next Style" and use proper returns instead. NB: You can use an "out-dent" containing tab-stop, so that the first line has tab-aligned thing...

Re: Bug in Lists palette in 2.0.5 ?
I was however able to change the starting number of a list by going through the style sheet view. Select the list level you want to change the starting number and then adjust it in the palette. This worked for me. Thank you. But I've just tried this and it changes all the lists in the file simultan...

Re: Bug in Lists palette in 2.0.5 ?
I make frequent use of the Lists palette and often use the Number field to change the number in a numbered list. In the past this has worked fine, but in 2.0.5 the number shown in the palette is not transferred into the document, so one cannot override automatic numbering. I can also confirm that t...

Re: Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.5 macro enhancements
Given this new feature, it would seem a good idea to add a command "Add Link to Macro…" under the "Hyperlink" menu. Of course now that we know that we can just write x-nisus-macro:// this isn't really needed, but it would be a little more user-friendly, especially if this was imp...

Re: Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.5 macro enhancements
Could we just edit an existing link so that it calls a macro in the menu? What text should be inserted to do that? The following options will work: x-nisus-macro://… if the path following the // is a macro path. or: x-nisus-macro-file://… if the (file)path following the // points to a functioning m...

Re: Are your ToC entries all or part of a heading/paragraph?
Cris, I believe the problem is that TOC is in fact a paragraph feature, and therefore can't "really" be applied to a limited subset of characters. Notice for example that Nisus does not allow TOC be applied to a a character style (only to paragraph styles). I wonder if there is an issue wi...

Re: Styling tables
Going further, I'm working on a document that uses a lot of tables with different colour backgrounds and borders to mean specific things... 'error', 'warning' and 'no problem'. While I can get the result I want by setting each one up and then copy/pasting as required, it gets to be a chore in a lon...

Re: Styling tables
Actually you can "place" a table by dragging it (the whole table).

Re: Numbered captions for Tables and Figures
I also found (in a brief test) that the style method works even in floating text boxes, with the order of the numbering determined by the anchor of the floating item. Very nice.

Re: Numbered captions for Tables and Figures
My recommendation would be that you define list styles for these things (Format > Lists > New List Style…). Make sure that they continue numbering across the document.
Then define paragraph styles and add the list style as part of the paragraph definition.
That should do it, I think.

Re: URL list (plain text) to list of hyperlinks
Oops, that will not work.
I was trying to take a short cut around the range hassle. You would have to do it in 2 steps after all.

Re: URL list (plain text) to list of hyperlinks
Hi Rob, I guess Martin would have to speak the technical side of your question. But if you wanted to do URL encoding yourself and you had a suitable hash map, then this can be very easily added to the macro using .transliterateInRange . Insert Link $link.substring.transliterateInRange($link.range, $...
