How to change default action in Find Nearby Words.nwm–Solved

Hi, I find the attached Find Nearby Words macro very, very useful - thanks again Martin. Yet I always want the expression put into the Find panel, so I can modify it later if needed. How do I modify this section so the default action changes and the expression, by default, goes into the Find panel? ...

Re: Does Nisus undersell itself when numbering upgrades?

From the financial and marketing viewpoints, you have a valid point. Perhaps when Nisus made the substantial improvements to NWP 2 to interface with (was it Bookends?) several years ago, they could have called that a major release and charged an upgrade fee for it. But for 2.0.5, even if the macro i...

Re: Does Nisus undersell itself when numbering upgrades?

NWP 2.0.5 had an enormous number of bug-fixes. It took over a year because Nisus waited to issue so many at once. You already know my view that far fewer bug-fixes issued more often would cause people to endure bugs and their work-arounds for less time leading to improved customer satisfaction in th...

With over thirty years experience in first the Computer industry, then in DP, and now the IT industry, starting as a machine code programmer and ending up as technical director, I'm now just a happy Mac user.

Re: Footnote reference style doesn't update

I have put a Google search on my website [url]http://www.LifeStrategies.net,[/url] check it out (and +1 its pages please). Now I find that finding a natural phrase by googling it is by far the easiest way to find anything on my site's 200 pages. This suggests that if Nisus put up the user guide as w...

Re: Footnote reference style doesn't update

An override is a local change to a style. In the tag bar at the bottom. What I called the "Footer Style Tag" is your "Footnote Reference" character style in the bottom tag bar, I didn't have your name in front of me to use when I wrote this. But why is your footer style not a par...

Re: Footnote reference style doesn't update

all the rest of the ones in the document fail to update. If the style did get updated (check in the stylesheet) then the unchanged ones probably show with an over-ride in the tag bar at the bottom. Sometimes, depending how you do it, they don't all get changed. If you change the style in the style ...

Re: Best way to strip unused styles? (possible feature reque

it's not possible to strip unused styles from a document all-in-one-go. Martin was kind enough to send me this macro a while ago when PASTE had Nisus creating extra copies of styles, even when one was already in the document... It works as its name suggests: Styles Delete Unused.nwm Thanks again, M...

Re: Two different left indents

Actually I need to do something like this sometimes, so I use soft returns which can be very useful... Use a style, put appropriate tabs (NWP has 4 types) at each indent point (so double the number) and use soft returns - very useful. This means that if your second line content is shorter than the t...

I assure you that I'm not going to great lengths to ignore the poll. Martin, I do know that you're not ignoring this, and I also know you know that "I find it difficult to envisage how Nisus support could be better." Yet as soon as I had written that, I thought of one area - more frequent...
