Re: Document assembly

G'day, Philip et al My cautionary remarks were meant to cover all automated gender changes, not just those using the Merge mechanism. The grammatical nuances will have to be considered at some stage, as indeed you have done in your choice of placeholders in your example document. Merge has other use...

Re: Document assembly

G'day, all A brief note on automating gender changes might not go astray here. A problem arises because of ambiguity regarding the words "his" and "her". The same word could represent a possessive adjective or a possessive noun, and both parts of speech could occur in the same do...

Re: Assign keyboard shortcut to non-standard highlight color?

G'day, Eric et al FFD700 star, Eric! It might be as well to remind/inform people also of the Digital Color Meter application in the Utilities folder. This allows you to get color code values for any color displayed on your screen, without having to extract the information from a screenshot. Cheers, ...

Re: Assign keyboard shortcut to non-standard highlight color?

G'day, Eric et al

Sorry, I missed that it was the highlight coloring you wanted.

For those interested, the options are:–

Set Text Color
Set Background Color
Set Highlight Color
Set Underline Color
Set Strikethrough Color

Cheers,
Adrian

Create a Macro with the following commands and assign it a Keyboard Shortcut:–

Code: Select all

$tangerine = Color.newWithHexTriplet 'FF9300'
Set Text Color $tangerine

Re: Feature request: copy-paste (drag & drop) of short formatted text

G'day, Philip et al Sounds like a good idea. One way of doing it would be to do an ordinary Copy, position the insertion point at the desired Paste location, and then (instead of using one of the usual Paste variants) invoke a Macro such as this:– Copy Paragraph Formatting Paste Paste Paragraph Form...

Re: drag and drop

G'day, ngazidja et al I'm glad the problem seems to be resolved. You say that TextEdit and Preview quit automatically when they have no windows open. This is the expected behavior of some things, such as System Information and System Settings (or its previous incarnation as System Preferences), but ...

Re: drag and drop

G'day, ngazidja et al

I've just had to get the display replaced on my M1 MBP and the machine came back upgraded to Ventura.

Drag and drop to a different location within a Nisus document or to a Finder location (as a text clipping) works for me in NWP 3.4.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, Philip et al Welcome to the clinic. No need to apologize. We've all been there. On the off chance that your question is not entirely rhetorical, perhaps I can be of some assistance. Once upon a time there was a Big Bang. A curious feature of this event was that insufficient light was generate...

Re: Setting up Nisus Writer in a second account

G'day, allenwatson et al Just for the record…. I haven't given my script to anyone. But it's a standard way of getting file paths, so I suspect Brad used something similar. The curious thing is how AppleScript resolves certain locations in a path. In the present case, what is displayed in the Finder...

Re: Sonoma 14.0 Problem

G'day, tammcturk et al Very irritating, I'm sure. First, if the errant key behavior occurs with other applications on the Mini, this to me suggests a serious flaw in Sonoma. Next, errant key behavior can occur in a variety of contexts (including hardware malfunction), so it's as well to have one or ...

If you're having trouble reading stuff, you might consider changing the display resolution (via Displays in System Preferences/Settings) or using zoom options available in the Accessibility section of System Preferences...

You might try using Pages as an interim measure. You can open an existing NWP RTF file in Pages, work on it in Pages, and then expor...
