Re: Hyphenation of words within quotation marks
G'day, Xuanying et al Hyphenation is a fraught subject, exacerbated by our general preference in the post-typewriter era for fully-justified text. The larger the font size and the shorter the distance between the text margins, the greater is the probability of finding unsightly "white space&quo...

Re: Main window looks strange
G'day, Auerhahn et al
What you're seeing is now the normal appearance. Not all of us are happy with it (myself included), so Martin says that users in future may be given a choice.

Re: Hyphenation of words within quotation marks
G'day, Xuanying et al I don't think it's so much a question of where the quotation marks are, as it is of how the particular font handles the associated kerning. I performed the following experiment: I created two paragraphs, one with your text with the opening quotation mark and the other with your...

Re: FR: make Unicode U+202F visible in Nisus Writer Pro
G'day, Eric et al Or you could use a similar technique, but without involving the neighbors, to find all occurrences of the special character and then color them, with either a background color or a highlight color. This could be done using the Replace mechanism if desired. If you prefer a monochrom...

Re: FR: make Unicode U+202F visible in Nisus Writer Pro
G'day, Eric et al Pending that frabjous day, you can use the expression ".\U202F." (without the quotes) in the Find field of PowerFind Pro to locate instances of the character (sandwiched between its two neighboring characters) in your document. You can use a combining diacritical (such as...

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, ...

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

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

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...
