Re: Paste without Crash (AppleScript)

Thanks. Yes, that prevents the crashing, and the text portion is pasted.
However, the advantage of my more elaborate script is that it preserves images.

Paste without Crash (AppleScript)

As Nisus Writer Pro continues to crash when pasting content that has been copied from certain websites (especially threaded ones such as Twitter, Nextdoor, etc.), I have scripted a simple workaround. Just copy the content you want, and then run this little AppleScript. It will paste the clipboard co...

Word Wrap and Plain-Text Paste

Pasting as plain text retains special characters from some web pages.
These special characters prevent proper paragraph wrap.
In the attached example, that character is

Code: Select all

\u160 ?
Should that be considered part of unformatted text?

Re: Simple Save Fails

This was a big help, Martin. Thanks.
One last question. I can't find Macro > Application > Manage Macro File Access
Apparently, I deleted some built-in macros. What's the easiest way to re-install them?
Thanks.

Simple Save Fails

I want to save a copy of the current document to an external drive named Alpha. My macro is Save To '/Volumes/Alpha/test1.rtf' But Nisus Writer Pro returns this: There was an error on Line 1. Could not save the file. It’s not an ownership or sandbox issue, because the drive has “Ignore ownership on ...

Re: List Styles

These Lists are automatically numbered using a Numbered List style. To avoid inserting a tab before every Item, the Item lines were generated with a return character (shift/return) instead of Paragraph + Tab for every line. Is there any way to increase or decrease line spacing between Items in a lis...

Re: Shading Fail in Big Sur

Just tested on a 2015 iMac. The problem did not appear while running Catalina.
I upgraded to Big Sur. Same problem. Foreground and background are always set to the same color.

Unlearn Spelling Bug

I believe I have encountered a spelling dictionary bug. If you accidentally tell Nisus Writer to learn a spelling, it’s impossible to unlearn it for the document in which it was learned . Within the document, select the word and use the contextual menu to unlearn it. Open any other document and type...

Re: Copy/Paste Disabled in Table

Yup. In my testing everything is OK, too.
Except on the one iMac with a fresh install of Nisus Writer Pro.
The same document saved by NWP as a .doc file works just fine in Microsoft Word on the same iMac.
It's the combination of NWP and something else that's going on.

Copy/Paste Disabled in Table

I open a document containing a 2-page table. The first time I copy the contents of any cell, the copy works. The first time I paste into any cell, the paste works. Thereafter, all the menu items for copy and for paste are grayed out. Copy and paste become impossible. Undo still works. The document f...
