Editing
▸Add or Remove Blank Lines
▸Cleanup Punctuation
This macro is a set of find and replace statements that attempts to
clean-up various obvious errors. However, sometimes they may alter
what you want. For example if you use multiple question marks
(????) or exclamation points (!!!!) or periods (….) to make a point,
each such multiple sequence will be replaced by a single character
of that sequence. You can comment-out any line which you do not
want to operate on your document
▸Convert Notes to Text
This macro takes all footnotes/endnotes in your document and
converts them to regular text. The notes will no longer be numbered
automatically or appear in a separate editing area. The converted
document will be opened as a copy of the existing document.
▸Form Paragraph
Combines selected lines (even those non-contiguously selected) into
one paragraph.
▸Justify Fully Arabic
This macro works on every paragraph in the selection. It manually
inserts kashida characters so the last line of each paragraph
appears fully justified.
▸Justify Fully Arabic (remove kashidas)
Removes kashidas from the selection that may have been inserted
by running the Justify Fully Arabic macro.
▸Justify Fully English
Adds spaces to every paragraph in the selection. It manually inserts
space characters so the last line of each paragraph appears fully
justified.
▸Justify Fully English (remove spaces)
Removes spaces from the selection that may have been inserted by
running the Justify Fully English macro.
▸Parenthesize Selection
▸Quote Selection
▸Reverse Text
Reverses characters in all selections. Note: does not pay attention to
composed character sequences (for example: base char + accent),
which is intentional because this is likely to be run on Nisus Writer
Classic text.
▸Zap Gremlins
This macro deletes all gremlins in the selection/document.
Find
▸Find All and Show Context
This macro does a Find All on the frontmost document using find
options set in the Find/Replace window and displays the results
along with their context creating a .

checked, the macro uses the find expression in the Find/Replace

You can send all the results to Clipboard.
You can create a new file gathering all sentences containing the
found string.
