Re: Setting up Nisus Writer in a second account

G'day, allenwatson et al Curiously, you and Brad are both right. You should be able to find what you want at:– ~/Library/Containers/Nisus Writer Pro/Data/Library/Application Support/Nisus Writer Pro/Settings/ However, the AppleScript script I devised for showing file paths (using "selection as ...

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 ...

Re: Sonoma 14.0 Problem

G'day, _NM_ et al It's worth noting that Bare Bones Software say they have "identified several bugs and regressions in macOS 14 which affect BBEdit's performance and stability.… For that reason we recommend that you remain on an older compatible version of macOS until such time as Apple address...

Re: Difficult to read small text in palettes

G'day, tammcturk et al I don't think you can change this in Nisus Writer itself. 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...

Re: Sonoma 14.0 Problem

G'day, _NM_ et al Sorry to hear about the difficulty you're experiencing. I'm sure Nisus are doing everything they can to rectify the situation as rapidly as possible. 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...

Re: Install beta for Sonoma crashes on App Store NWP?

G'day, all I agree with David in this. In my opinion, apart from developers and those who absolutely have to replace their existing computer with a new one immediately (with the new operating system pre-installed), anyone who transfers their everyday work to a just-released operating system should r...

Re: Using images as cell background

G'day, Eric et al To delete a background image, click on the relevant Cell, then Table > Shading Pattern > None. As far as I can determine, you can't alter the opacity of a background image inserted as a Shading Pattern in a Table Cell. You can insert an image in a Table Cell via Insert > Image > In...

Re: Underline not showing for leading tab

G'day, lyndondrake et al If you want to underline a line which already has the paragraph return in place, you could use a Macro to select everything in the line excluding the return and then underline it, either directly or via a Character Style. Assigning a keyboard shortcut to the Macro would expe...

Re: Underline not showing for leading tab

G'day, lyndondrake, Philip et al Yes, you can underline your option-space plus tab plus text string, and it all looks good — until you hit the return, at which point the entire line becomes underlined. This behavior appears to be font-dependent, though. For example, that's what happens in Palatino, ...

Re: Underline not showing for leading tab

G'day, lyndondrake et al One way to do this is to use an Underline Leader Tab: double-click on the Tab icon in the Ruler to reveal the Edit Tab dialog box. The result is not ideal, though. You may need to lower the baseline of the leading underline a bit: Format > Baseline > Lower Baseline. Also, yo...

Re: A Miscellany of Hints

G'day, Eric et al Thanks for the positive feedback, Eric. It's not just bullets and it's not just Nisus Writer. The idea here is that, in many situations where items in a list can be sorted by name, the sorting principle is the order of characters in the Unicode character table. For example, a leadi...

A Miscellany of Hints

G'day, all With things so quiet on these Forums at present, I thought it might be an opportune time to share some practices I find convenient in my own work with Nisus Writer. Others may feel motivated to add their own suggestions. Nisus Writer is highly customizable, so you might as well exploit th...

Re: Entering UTF-8 code points in Find and Replace

G'day, Mark et al As an example, the Unicode code for lowercase "t" is U+0074. You can determine this either from the System's Character Viewer or (once an instance of the character is selected) from Nisus Writer's Formatting Examiner. The Find/Replace expression you want (in PowerFind Pro...

Re: Change the Normal Style via Macro

Alternatively, as long as the cursor is situated within a paragraph with Normal Style (because that's the one you want to change), you could invoke a simple Macro with the following two lines (with your choice of font):– Format:Paragraph St...

Re: Introducing Clipboarder
