Re: PowerFind question
Could you provide an example that includes the (Found) bubble? Sure thing. As a contrived example let's add quotation marks around all words that start with the letter "A": found.png Martin, Excellent example. I really appreciate how well you can make abstract concepts concrete. Howard

Re: PowerFind question
Could "Found" have been used in the code example that found text duplication and replaced the duplicates with one copy? If it could, what would Found replace and where would Found appear in the code? Not in this double-word matching example, because the (Found) bubble is a stand-in for th...

Re: PowerFind question
Your latest explanation is quite helpful. What effect does the code in "capture( any word ) captured1" have? Captured1 refers to the first capture group. So this has the effect of asking for "any word" and then a space followed by the same "any word". So the effect is ...

Re: PowerFind question
Thanks for that Philip, very instructive. Also, just to be clear, those <0+> entries Philip was mentioning will look like this once inserted: powerf.png We call those PowerFind "bubbles". You can see that I've also used such a bubble for the space character, just to make it more visible. ...

Re: is it possible to easily convert tables to text?
You have to *select* the table (not just click inside it) for Copy Table Text to have any effect :) That's exactly right, and that can be done using either the mouse or the menu Table > Select > Table , which expands any selection in a table to encompass the whole table. That's why I was seeking th...

Re: is it possible to easily convert tables to text?
Howard, What if I only want to convert the table in which I've either selected some text (or clicked in) to text and then have the table removed, as Pages' "Convert Table to Text" does? How would the above macro need to be changed? In that case all you need do is choose the menu command T...

PowerFind question
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to do the following. I occasionally work with an RTF in which a space is missing either before or after (or both) an em dash, as in "people —it." I would like to set up PowerFind to check whether immediately to the left or right of the em dash there's a le...

Re: Multipart selection
writerhoward, I'm sorry you experience difficulties with Nisus Writer Pro. From what you describe, it seems that either there is an error in the User's Guide, or the special font that we use to display the COMMAND key did not work in the PDF (or at least your copy of it). Please let me know on what...

Re: Multipart selection
Howard - how about "Apple" instead of "A" - the one next to "Space"… HE On my keyboard, the Command key is next to the spacebar; however, using the Command key solved the problem. Thank you. Howard P.S. The NWP manual needs correction as it states "Press A."

Multipart selection
I've followed the NWP manual's direction for doing a multipart selection; however, it's not working. I selected one sentence, then, while pressing A, I tried to select a different, noncontiguous sentence, but as soon as I did that the first selection was deselected. What else do I need to do to make...

List question
In other word processing software such as Pages, I can end a list by pressing Return twice after the last list item I want. That doesn't work in NSW -- it continues to produce new list items. Is the the menu command Format > Lists > None the only way to end a list?
