When I copy text with a footnote in scrivener and paste it in Mellel, the footnote text is gone. This is strange, since it works in MS WORD and even in TEXT EDIT, as in every RTF document. I know that there is a workaround involving exporting the scrivener text and importing it in Mellel, but copy a...

the new feature is a real improvement for everyone who has to use longer footnotes. Especially in double-page-layouts it will look awesome. With single pages however, I'd still prefer to have mellel enter custom "warnings" that the note is "Continued" or something, so I hope this...

Dear Eyal, thank you for your offer, but now something strange occured: I tried to attach the file in mail but it would not let me, so I tried to create an archive in the finder. This got me an error message because of permissions. I opened the package contents, clicked on "information" an...

Actually, I have emailed my question to Redlers in between, and they have answered that they intend to add this feature in a future release. Good news!

...hrmhrm, can't work it out in 2.2.5 - is it actually fixed?

Hi Rick, I am running Mellel on top of 10.4.9 (Intel MacBook), so I don't think PPC is the problem. Would the new mellel version help? I think I am losing trust in this program

even stranger, when I click on "show package contents" in the finder, all I see is a gzipped xml file that can not be opened or unzipped. There is also a folder called "Bibliographic references", without acess for me. WTF?

Some weeks ago I created a mellel file. When I try to open it now, an error message appears: "no error". I have not changed the version of mellel since. What can have caused this?

Hi Bensch, there are also free alternatives to bookends which you could consider as well. Trouble is, at present only a german program comes to my mind, lit-link: You can find it under http://www.lit-link.de . It is filemaker-based, has a number of output formats and works well if you can live with ...

I often import RTF texts that I created in DevonThinkPro, but I can't see a way to enter footnotes in DTPro (maybe with certain delimeters ike in Latex) that appear in Mellel as footnotes. Has anyone found a way to accomplish this, or do you know any delimeters one can use to have text sections appe...

I just found a workaround for a recurring problem: I like to work with auto-titles in the header, but they frequently become too long for the header. Workaround: Adding "invisible" short titles after the normal titles in the text, in a special paragraph + character style, with letters in w...

...and at the beginning of the new page's footnote, of course. This is even more important, as a "continued" footnote looks a LOT less strange with a little 'warning' beforehand - especially, if you use MLA-style footnotes, and end up with rather cryptic lines in the rest of a footnote. Ac...

Wheny I export a document with many footnotes as a word/.doc - document, all the footnotes are lost. What can I do?

When a long long footnote is continued on the next page; can Mellel automatically insert a pre-defined note? Like, for example "continued on the next page" or something (like in Word) ?

Thank you,

Ori, thank you for the quick reply: It is nice to see how committed development actually works! But back to the question: I understand the function that the system-wide commands and the f-keys are different, but I'd really like to use only the style variations, because they are easier to change glob...

... I have to add, however, that I even have problems assigning these style variations: With the Garamond font for example, Mellel won't let me assign Bold AND Italics, although this is possible when I use the command keys. What is the trick here?
Thank you,
