Well the reason I ask, is that in your example you place the pilcrow before the verse marker. So is that the normal rule in such cases? What happens to the ones that are not at the beginning of a verse?

Hello Eric, well PowerFind is regex, but what I meant was you need to write a "real" macro for this. I am appending a very bare bones version here. This doesn't address the footnotes, or the change of abbreviation names yet (or the pilcrows). But they can be added easily following the same...

Just some quick questions: 1. About the pillcrow. Is this always placed at the beginning of a verse? 2. Checking your sample file I noticed that one footnote (in Ro 10:4) does not have a closing bracket. Is that an error? Can one assume that these footnotes always (should always) come in matching pa...

Hello NisusUser, this is certainly doable. Let me make however one general comment. While regex is great, when things get this complicated you will definitely be better off if you take an approach which first reads in the info--in your case, the chapter/verse numbers, etc., and even the text--and th...

Here's how I type directly into the bullet pull-down menu in the list settings. (Note: this will only "take" once you move the cursor to a different field of the list settings.) Nisus Custom Bullet.jpg Here is how I format the bullet in the style menu. Nisus Format Custom Bullet.jpg Here i...

First of all what character are you using for the box? (The box in my bullet list is U+2610 which is definitely too big.) You can actually insert a different character into the bullet definition. This works. So you could use U+25A1 or U+25AB instead. Otherwise to set the font or size of the bullet, ...

I just want to put my name and title in larger font with my address and contact information underneath, centered. I tried to put it in the header of the first page and then mark "different first page" in the list of selections but what this does is leave the first page header blank and pu...

I can't quite imagine "can't find anything". First question: you are not doing a "Attribute Sensitive" search? (If no) Second question: you start with a blank find box and then use "." (AnyTextCharacter), and this finds nothing? Does this problem persist after a restart...

I seem to be in deja-vu land, but I can't find the previous discussion. My earlier suggestion seems to work, for multiple cross-references, if you keep the "prompt $num" instruction . This has something to do with the updating of the GUI while a macro is running. Once you take the "pr...

Hello Kosaka, I believe Martin has said that the Cross-Reference interface cannot be scripted. As a workaround that may work you could try the following: Menu ":Insert:Cross-reference..." Send Text $num Press Button “Insert” This code works via the user interface. With the ":Insert:Cr...

At this point, the only possibility would be to manually split the table and repeat the headers each time. Macros would only be of limited help here, since macro control of tables is not what one could hope for.

Hello Matze
it certainly is possible to write macros that save and restore selections. But before going there, have you tried using the "Previous Selection" command. Does that not do what you want?

This seems to be a (temporary?) bug. See also http://www.nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=5258.

Thanks to Eric I once again find myself wasting time :P trying to write macros that manipulate floating contents. The macro commands for this purpose are uneven to say the least. Here at least one result. The following is a macro that inventories all the floating contents in a given file. For each o...

The quick answer is: No. I wonder why you wanted to use Nisus for this task. Are you planning to do some editing on this file, or did you just want to lay out the (pre-existing?) text? Because if you are not going to do any editing it certainly would seem that there should be better suited tools out...
