Thanks Adrian and Mark for the additional refinements and discussion! That’s good, Martin, except that it only works for Lists That's true, and it's certainly a limitation that prevents using the macro more generally without list styles. Though if people are working exclusively with list styles, the...

Thanks heaps for that, Martin. I'm always happy to help! :) The only caveat is that the selection must commence with a Paragraph Start How about the macro allows for the selection to be anywhere in a list paragraph? It's easy enough to expand the selection (or insertion point) using the menu Format...

For example, the following code works inconsistently: ... I think the problem lies with the Selection stack. There is indeed a problem with the selection stack/history that's preventing your macro from working correctly. It looks like the current selection (at the moment when you start the macro) i...

Here's an example file that shows the technique of using specialized paragraph styles to control list spacing: lists example.rtf The file has a paragraph style called "List" that enforces the list style called "Number List" and eliminates the spacing between paragraphs. This style is the basis for t...

So long as languages are working properly for you now, that's the important thing. Please let us know if you have any other questions or trouble in the future.

This question has come up before, so it's something we'll probably improve in the future. I'm sorry for the confusion, but thanks to Adrian for explaining the situation.

That said, what happens, actually, when you have a "different first page" header/footer with a same page section break? What is considered the "first page" of the section in those situations? I think I recall that whatever section is in effect at the very top of the page is the one that governs wha...

I came up with another hack: if you don't need more than 8 points of space before or after, you can fake it with a white table border. As Adrian said, that's certainly creative! But as other pointed out, it's going to be much easier if you just add some spacing manually, to override your paragraph ...

This is certainly an area that could be improved in Nisus Writer. It would be great if before/after paragraph spacing could be controlled situationally by paragraph styles. That option in Word to suppress spacing between paragraphs in the same style is one way to improve things, but it would be even...

If you have the Different First Page checkbox in the Header/Footer Palette ticked, and then insert a series of paragraph returns in the Header on the first page, you will observe that the Header on the first page increases in height to accommodate the inserted text. That's correct, the headers/foot...

So naturally I clicked the "Different first page header" option and enlarged the header to 2 inches. Low and behold header sizes are the same across the document. I can understand why you were confused, as was this thread's original author. However, as it was explained earlier this is behaving as i...

Hello Ferren, and thanks for bringing this potential problem to our attention. What you suggest is possible. It's definitely something we want to investigate so we can be sure to get this fixed if needed. Would you be able to send us the document that Nisus Writer may have scored incorrectly? There ...

I'm glad you figured out how to restarting page numbering after your TOC. I'm sorry if the process was a little confusing. For the sake of anyone else with this same problem, here's a breakdown of what needs to be done to restart numbering: 1. Insert a section break where you want to restart page nu...

I'm sorry you've had trouble establishing the Australian English language as your default. It sounds like you might have encountered a bug. If you choose a particular language in your New File preferences, it should naturally remain intact for all new documents you create. However, after doing a qui...

You're right that by default Nisus Writer tries to use your system paper size. But it's more precise to say that Nisus Writer uses the paper size as set in your Nisus New File template. The default template is indeed configured to use the system paper size, but if the template was ever edited or sav...
