Well this has had some reasonably heavy-duty use at this point and is doing just fine. Second thoughts about the additional routines are that (I have given some look see at the documentation) unless there is a way to indefinately pause MS, this will need to be in two separate macros. The time to edi...

OK, I have used this in some relatively heavy-going real-life situations and it seems to hold together with the 3 second waits (maybe excessive, but I have some longish and complex documents and would rather play it safe...three seconds is not intollerable.) There are still some things going on here...

Bob...cross fingers I had just figured to come here to say that the likely issue was not enough time waiting between operations. I noticed that operations were being conducted out of order, sometime not and sometimes yes, etc. and for different samples in different ways... I added a 3 second wait be...

OK, one more glitch: This thing is working for me 2 out of three times, sometimes every other time...the other times it is not deleting blank lines, but is otherwise running without hanging the machine, stopping, etc. I thougt it might be something to do with CapsOff but inserting it in the usual pl...

This is the script to date with the now-relevant comments edited and re-inserted. I have used it several more times, and without the "Remove all 'air'" macro, it works fine for what I am trying to do. Why that macro doesn't work is still a mystery. Here is the script: ========================== //ed...

Well I messed with the TextPad settings and it seems that it really doesn't make any difference, but to be on the safe side I set all three of the macros to macroname,[space]ALT-XX Now for some reason the above script no longer works if I use both the Delete Blank Lines and the Remove all 'air' macr...

Hello Bob, After a few blunders I have managed to get this to work with a couple of changes and one question. I am embarased to ask the question! But in your instructions for setting up ALT keys for TextPad Macros, you say Highlight the macro name, click on Properties. In the filed for display Name,...

Thanks Bob,

I'll get right to work on this...let you know when I mess up the next step!

For the strip tags, there is a regex that should do it, but my regex know-how is about as strong as my scripting know-how...

Find and delete (delete I can manage).

Bob,

This looks right. Sorry if this reply is late, somehow I got logged out and it didn't look like there was any response here when I gave it periodic quick checks.

I would like to see what you have done.

Thanks, Captive

I see. And actually I see that I actually see well enough to use the smaller cursor, but I will keep this in mind for the near future!

OK, Here goes! TextPad 4.7.1, on W2KPro, ANSI, PC, default setup using word-wrap, Save with no breaks in lines, strip trailing spaces when saving, syntax highlighting 1. Here is a sample bit of representative of the text being copied and pasted (there is often an additional several paragraphs of dis...

Hello, I have put on hold for the moment my attempt to get the Ad-aware macro working. However, attempting to convert this little script from a recorded macro to all keystrokes, which should be possible (I am using TextPad), is looking very much like the problems I am having with the Ad-aware macro....

Just a quick word to those who are being so helpful on this (RH&C): I am long getting back on this because I am having some trouble, but I don't want to post the script until I have exhosted my own thoughts about what may be going wrong. PS: I am trying to set up my website with proper description a...

Ok, I just changed to the Windows Standard pointers, etc. Something to consider in light of the aging baby-boomer population.

Thanks Robert and Captive, enough there to solve my problems except for the cursor hiding the number. That actually is an issue. I'm getting on, as they say...long in the tooth (what's left of them)...and need a large cursor and it definately has caused me problems identifying the number. It's no go...
