Borders and styles

Is it possible to add a border to a Paragraph Style or Character Style in the same way that apps such as Microsoft Word or Pages have?

As far as I can see, there is no option to do so.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Adding hyperlink and also column in table in Mellel iOS

For Mellel for iOS is it possible to:

1. add a hyperlink; and
2. add a column to a table?

Looking at the help file I cannot see that either is covered.

Use of the Polish keyboard

Mellel 3.5.2 with macOS 10.12.2 When I switch to a Polish Pro keyboard: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11238224/Polish%20keyboard.png and I am in Mellel, I cannot access the keyboard shortcuts for accents (i.e. to get an accented 'o' = Alt + o; accented 's' = Alt + s, and so on). In every other...

Re: Text wrapping to size of window

Thank you for the reply, but I disagree with some of what you write. Nisus Writer Pro does not have a web view but a Draft view (as my first post mentions). To me, this seems to be the same as Compact view in Mellel. As to what use it can be put: for example, I might have a web page with some inform...

Text wrapping to size of window

In Mellel (currently using 3.5.0b18) I do not believe it possible, on changing the width of a window, to have the text match/wrap to the new width of the window (whether in Mellel view or Compact view). This is possible in other word processors such as Nisus Writer Pro (Draft View only), Libre Offic...

Re: How to search for a return character.

Thank you for the response. What I wished to do is trivial: 1. I have a list of items, each on its on line 2. Search for the return character 3. Replace the return character with a full stop and the return character This is trivially easier in other major word processors I use (WordPerfect, Word, Li...

Re: How to search for a return character.

Thank you for the information. The return character is now shown in the find or replace windows. Which makes doing a replace difficult. It is not possible easily to work out whether the characters to be replace are before or after the return which is pasted into the replace window. Bizarre method of...

How to search for a return character.

I cannot see how to search for the return character, in Mellel itself or the guide. The guide (page 215) tells me that "Paragraph boundary" is not the same as the Return character but helpfully says nothing about how to just enter a return character. Also Any Character is not for use with ...

It appears to lack some features I am used too in other word processors (or it behaves just differently) The Outline view The size of type is small for the entries and as far as I can tell from the manual - it is not possible to choose a...

In particular: your text is in Regular copy Character style script font -- the script font is set for English -- you probably meant to use the regular font The script option in the Regular copy Character style was set to...
