Scan a doc macro with NisusWP

Post by Sylphe »

I am using Bookends 10 and NWP. When I launch the Scan macro, I receive this error message:
In French: Erreur à la ligne 1 de la macro "Script non enregistré". Chemin d'accès à l'objet du menu inconnu: Edit: Select All".
??? In English translation : Error at the 1 line of the macro: "script non saved". Access to menu object unknown: Edit:Select All".

The first thing I've done is to translate the macro in French (as suggested in Nisus forum). It seems to work, at least partly. The message error in now: Erreur à la ligne 1 de la macro "Script non enregistré": Chemin d'accès à l'objet du menu inconnu... so as before "way to objetc menu unknown", but now with:
File:New
Edit:Paste:Paste.

I do not have this text in the macro when edited. How could I fix this?
Thank you

Hi,

I didn't know that the Nisus macros were language-sensitive. The lines you mention tell NWP to create a new window and paste in the contents of the clipboard. I'm afraid you'll have to ask again on the NWP forum what the French equivalents would be.

Hi,

I checked your posts on the NW forum. Indeed, Bookends is sending the English commands to NW that are causing it to complain on a French system. I'm afraid that this is unavoidable. However, please note two things. First, even though the paste might not be completed, the scanned paper will still be in the clipboard, so you can paste it yourself into a NW document. Second, the scan macro is a modest convenience only. It's exactly equivalent to scanning the saved NW file from within Bookends (Scan a Doc), so you can use that instead.

Hello,

Thank you for your message: indeed it seems to be OK like this, and on the other hand, the partially translated macro does the scan even with complains.
