Re: Extend Line to Right Line Indent

G'day, Philip et al I'd been successfully using our "Paragraph Straddling Section" Macro until I changed from manual hyphenation to automatic hyphenation, whereupon the line preceding the interposed Section failed to be extended to the Right Line Indent. If automatic hyphenation is enabled...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't

G'day, davidmacd et al Again, knowing your document is crucial. It occurs to me that there may even be some relatively obvious distinction between your superscripts and the rest of the content that you could exploit. For example, you've been searching for every formatting-sensitive occurrence of an ...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't

G'day, davidmacd et al First, I generally advise people considering extensive Find & Replace operations to know the contents of their document first. Obviously you do, as you are aware of multiple legitimate uses of en dashes in your document that mean that my simple offering will not suffice in...

Re: Way to shade in gray every other paragraph

G'day, NisusUser et al Here's one way of going about it. I've chosen a pale orange, just to illustrate the idea. Find All @Text<\n.+\n>, 'Esa-i' Find All @Text<[^\n]>, 'Esa-i' Format:Paragraph Shading Pattern:10% Blend Format:Paragraph Shading Color:Orange I’d name this as “Shade Alternate Paragraph...

Re: Find and replace using attributes works, but macro doesn't

G'day, davidmacd et al Maybe an easier solution would be to replace all your en dashes with hyphens, then replace just the hyphens in your superscripts with en dashes. You don’t need any fancy F/R expressions for this. The first part is simple. For the second part, you apply the Superscript command ...

G'day, davidmacd et al

I see the same thing: F/R works, but not when Macroized.

Re: Search/find any Hebrew characters

G'day, rabbijacobs et al

Insert the following expression (without quotation marks) in the "Find what" field of the Find & Replace window using PowerFind Pro: "[\u0590-\u05FF]"

Re: Scientific Macro

G'day, NisusUser et al Undeterred by rejection of my previous suggestion, I offer a couple more. The first is that we really require a fraction with a horizontal line separating numerator and denominator to appear as a glyph. So there may be some inexpensive font creation software out there that wou...

Re: Scientific Macro

G'day, patrickg et al Thanks for that. A nice addition to the Macro collection. A couple of things others may need to take note of:– (1) The last line of the instructions should read: "Select any text containing your expression(s) and run the macro." (Highlighting is something different. A...

Re: Encourage Later Line Break

G'day, Philip et al First, thanks for the prompt reply, Philip. Your idea of checking whether or not the bound of the line Range has changed, without having to worry about what character terminates the line, is absolutely brilliant! So this Macro does exactly what I want. I have named your second Ma...

Encourage Later Line Break

G'day, all First, the aim: I want to tighten the kerning at each space in a line of fully justified text until either a fragment of the first word in the following line jumps up to the end of the initial line or there is no point in tightening it further. The word to be split would separate either b...

Re: Absolutely frustrating behaviour of pictures and text boxes

G’day, all

What I said about Undo isn't quite right. One shouldn't expect Undo to undo each return insertion progressively. Removal of them all at once is the expected behavior. I must have thought otherwise because of the slow-motion insertion of all those returns.

Cheers,
Adrian

Re: Absolutely frustrating behaviour of pictures and text boxes
