G'day, Martin et al Thanks for looking into this, Martin. I played with your code fragment but, although I could alter it to toggle the checkbox once the focus was on it, I couldn't see how to enforce focus on it in the first place without things getting messy. However, I have discovered that it's p...

G'day, Martin et al I looked at this after the initial posting and tried doing it with an AppleScript that invoked a Do Menu Macro command to arrive at the relevant Preferences pane and then used System Events to tick the appropriate checkbox. (So pretty much along the lines Martin suggested.) It wo...

G'day, Tacitus et al I would have thought that citation markers might be superscripted but they wouldn't be ordinals. Searching specifically for ordinals avoids the need to worry about what sort of text is displayed as 8 pt. You certainly don't want (or need) to find each ordinal in succession and r...

G'day, Tacitus et al First, typography is one of the (few) things in which I claim no expertise, but the following comments may be useful. I think treatment of ordinals comes under the heading of "house rules", by which I mean that each publisher will have its own preference for a particul...

G'day, Martin, Mark et al I was just about to post this when I saw Martin's posting. I might as well post mine anyway, just in case it sheds a bit of extra light. For a start, as I understand it, "\b" only represents a backspace when it is enclosed in square brackets to act as a wildcard c...

G'day, Victor et al I set up text, Styles and Macro code just as you and Philip have posted, and it all works OK for me. One thing that can cause things to become unstuck is the operation of a pre-existing defined Character Style that explicitly unbolds the character format. This Character Style wil...

G'day, Philip et al The only reason I can think of that Philip's code might not work for all the occurrences in vwnisus' document is that they fail to meet the stipulations Philip has just mentioned. And the most likely culprit here is the odd gremlin that can secrete itself in text, particularly th...

G'day, vwnisus et al As Philip says, you just copy and paste his code fragment as many times as needed into your Macro document. You then amend each occurrence of it to suit your purpose. For example, you might replace "From" with "Subject" in the second occurrence, and possibly ...

G’day, John et al

That bit is determined by Preferences:–

Preferences > Appearance > Colors > Marked Text > Hyperlink

Tick the "Hide this Highlighting" checkbox.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, jjlancaster et al The color of Hyperlink text is set in the document's Style Sheet; you'll find it in the Character Styles set. Changing the text color associated with the Hyperlink Style there should change the text color of all the Hyperlinks in your document that use that Style. Cheers, Ad...

G'day, Martin et al

Yes, that seems to work, in both Mojave and Monterey.

Cheers,

G'day, NisusUser et al

I can confirm that Comments fail to show in a PDF document generated via the Print Dialog, in both Mojave and Monterey. However, they do show in PDF documents generated via the Export As PDF command in the File menu.

G'day, Martin, Mark et al With Martin's tips about rulers and page zoom, I've tried some experiments and found some interesting things. With magnification set high enough to allow selection of the first character, move the cursor progressively to the left. At some point it changes to the arrow curso...

G'day, Mark et al

Thanks for checking this, Mark. However, I had the same problem with Mojave.

Cheers,
Adrian

G'day, wF et al

I’m using NWP 3.2.2 with Monterey 12.0.1.

Cheers,
Adrian
