For some files I receive from another, the numbering scheme for footnotes is a, b, c, etc rather than 1, 2, 3. A brief look at the Nisus manual indicates that it is necessary to change this in the Footnote style, which is easy to do manually. But is it possible to change a the Footnote style with a ...

Philip, Thank you for providing working code. I was able to implement it successfully (although I can understand how individual element work, but how you constructed the macro is beyond me). My final macro: $editDoc = Document.active $styleLibDoc = Document.open "/Users/victor/Dropbox/Nisus/Nis...

I am new to Nisus Writer Pro Macros (upgraded to version 3.0). I need open rtf files provided to me and wish to then carry out some formatting to which I wish to apply some styles which I have saved in style library. Is there a macro command to import a specific style collection from the style libra...

Thank you Þorvarður and Philip for the helpful and detailed replies.

I am a novice at Nisus macros, but you have provided will prompt to learn a bit more.

Thank you for the replies and suggestions.

It is unfortunate that there are these 'holes' in the macro language as they prevent creating a macro to automate some formatting changes.

Thank you for the reply. I should have added to my original post, is that I wish to print the document (either to a printer, or to a PDF) and do not wish to have the headers/footers showing at all. Something which draft view will not help with. Is it simply not possible to achieve with macro command...

Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.8 / macOS 10.13.4 In the simple formatting macro I am creating I would like to include a command that hides any/all headers/footers. (I can see how to manually hide them.) My search through the macro reference guide does not appear to provide a command for this. I understand it ...

Thank you for the response. The situation is as follows: 1. I download legal case reports from a supplier of legal information. They have a .doc extension. 2. They reports are really .rtf files, but the software they use creates slightly odd rtf files (odd in the sense there is something in the rtf ...

I would like to use in a Nisus macro command to save to a particular file format. Looking at the Macro Reference document the Save To and Save To commands to not appear to have a parameter which allows the setting of a file format. Is this possible, or is there an equivalent way of doing this? Using...

I would know whether it is possible to search for styles (and optionally replace them with others)?

I cannot see any way of doing so with Nisus Writer Pro (2.1..

Some other word processors can do this (WordPerfect, Word, LibreOffice).

I have looked at the macro reference file but cannot work out which commands to use to do a basic mail merge with Nisus Writer Pro. I am using 2.1.7 under macOS 10.12.6. I wish to do the following: The following files will always be the same (i.e. always have the save file names, and always be locat...

I have a Nisus document with several tables. I wish to put the cursor in a table (something I will do manually) and then wish to run a macro to 1. to select the table 2. add a border of 1pt, including adding lines within the table (i.e. all round individual cells),with lines being solid (i.e. not do...

I am new to Nisus (and the macro language). Is it is possible to control the size of a document window? I would like to open a particular file, turn off toolbars and set the zoom to a particular percentage. All of which I see the right commands in Nisus. But also I would to position the document win...
