G’day, seraphim, Þorvarður et al When performing Replace operations on multiple instances of an expression, it is crucial to know your document well, lest you end up replacing things inadvertently. In the present case, for example, Þorvarður’s solution will insert unwanted spaces in expressions such...

G’day, all First, if it absolutely has to be a black-bordered transparent box that is a widely accepted practice somewhere, I’d suggest investigating how others (with other word processors or desktop publishing software) go about it. That might offer some clue as to what one could do with Nisus Writ...

G’day, all Sad to relegate the deceased to a footnote, but…. Other ideas include:– (1) highlighting (2) raising or lowering the baseline (according to one’s religious persuasion perhaps) (3) conjoining an appropriate emoticon or pictograph (4) following the name with the conventional “ (d.)” (5) usi...

G’day, levelbest et al As you have discovered, drag-and-drop does not work, at least when you drag a PDF document directly into the usual workspace of a Nisus Writer document. However, if you first insert a Text Box (eg, from the Shapes Palette) into your Nisus Writer document, it is possible to dra...

G’day, Cliff et al I think these sound like two different problems. Since upgrading to Mojave, I have noticed frequent (but unpredictable) annoying intervals of keyboard unresponsiveness; however, it is not confined to Nisus Writer. The period of unresponsiveness resolves itself within (say) 5 secon...

G’day, jrochest, Mark et al

I’ve tried a few things (including “Open as New File”, stationery pad, and reassigning the Cmd-S shortcut to “Save Copy As…”) but can’t replicate this behavior.

Have you tried quitting and relaunching Nisus Writer?

Cheers,
Adrian

G’day, janeverly et al

That is to say, I turned over all the rocks (including the Macro Language Reference) and could find nothing lurking underneath.

G’day, JapanRich et al Cmd-D used to be interpreted as “Don’t Save” in most applications, but things seem to have changed (unfortunately). Cmd-D in NWP now takes you to the Desktop, although it would perhaps be more logical to use Shift-Cmd-D for this, in line with the Finder. You can navigate the C...

G'day, Philip et al There is no easy solution here. A lot depends on the formatting of the PDF document (eg, with respect to headers, footers, page numbers, location of images, etc). In this situation, I myself would not merely try to fix the pagination on my own (original) RTF file. To do so would ...

G’day, Revue Guru et al Opening a PDF document in Nisus Writer doesn’t preserve the pagination of the former, as you have discovered. Many other formatting features are either lost or transmogrified. Could your publisher not send you a Word version of the final manuscript, complete with pagination i...

G’day, Kadah et al

Click on a Table to select it.

In the Formatting Examiner Palette, click on the gearwheel at the bottom left, and choose Select All from the drop-down menu that appears.

G’day, alanterra et al

I’m not sure there was a link in that earlier posting, so I’m not sure why the underlining occurs there now.

Anyway, as I recall, the idea (thanks to Philip) is to use View > Zoom when the Find & Replace dialog box is the active window.

Cheers,
Adrian

G’day, Philip et al We have encountered a variant of this problem before:– https://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7256 At the time, Philip, you suggested (for another reason) altering the zoom in the Find/Replace dialog box, and this fixed the problem for me. But there seems to be a bug in...

G'day, Howard et al Another possibility is that you observed nothing happening in the Replace field because everything stopped while some autosave operation was in progress. I’ve noticed this a fair bit since moving to Mojave. But eventually the contents of the keyboard buffer get dumped into whatev...

G'day, Howard et al That is most curious. Check that you don’t have the text color set the same as the background color of the Replace field — unlikely, I know, but worth considering, I guess. Just for debugging purposes, type the Replace expression in the body of a NWP document where you can defini...
