Dear Nobumi Iyanaga,

Thanks for showing me a command to retrieve the page number.

I know that Jem's original question has already been answered now, but I'm still interested in finding out how the macro can be improved.

If we add these two lines:

Zoom:100%
Show Entire Page

most of the next page will be shown, but a few lines at the top of the page will be out of sight. See a screenshot here:

I tried a few silly tricks such as inserting "Go to Footer" at the end of the macro, but that did not work. 

My MacBook Pro does not have any Page Up/Down keys so I must use Control + -up/down instead which is actually the perfect solution, and I know that writing a macro for this is redundant. But just for fun and games…, is there – generally speaking – any way to integrate the key combination Control + -up/down in a macro? I remember that it was possible in Nisus Classic which was a marvelous macro feature.


I remember also that if one hit the Enter key the old Nisus Writer would highlight the caret position for ca. two seconds, so that the user could instantly see where the insertion point was. A MacBook does not have an Enter key so that I can not test this. Does this feature still exist in NWP?
