If you click on an Auto-title in the *Outline*, you will be taken to a part in the document where that Auto-title is. However, contrary to what Nisus Writer Pro does, the Auto-title in Mellel is NOT highlighted (or flashed for an instant). This makes it often hard to quickly spot the exact location,...

If I try to change the appearance of the list using the attribute pane in the palette… If you are talking about the attributes pane in the list's palette, then clicking on the frame next to the encircled T reveals a sort of a drop-down pane. Changing settings in that pane will only affect the list ...

Is there any way to export the structure along with the notes? I wholeheartedly support this very important feature request. Being able to export and print the remarks would be a big boon for all Mellel users. This should definitely be implemented. Right now, I can't think of anything else than to ...

I have just installed the update 4.1.1 and then imported a file in .doc. All footnotes were lost as notes and appeared after the text without links.

Same here. [v4.1]

There is no Library visible in my home folder Yes, it has been hidden for well over 6 years now, since Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), I think. The easiest way to access the folder is to 1. copy the folder path I gave you 2. Click on the Desktop in order to select the Finder 3. Choose "Go to Folder…" from the ...

How do I transfer the style-sets from one computer to another?

Just copy them over from here:
/Users/NAME OF YOUR HOME FOLDER/Library/Application Support/Mellel 4/Style Sets

First, I assume by "suprascript"you mean superscript. Second, superscript characters, both digits and letters, are now converted correctly from .docx to Mellel 4. Third, you are right when you say that Small Caps are not displayed correctly after import from .docx. Any suggestions? If possible, try ...

Actually, I have two page styles in my document: one is for the front matter with pagination in Roman numerals, the second is for the body of the text, with pagination in Arabic numerals. If you have two page styles, then I assume you want the first page of the first chapter to start with the Arabi...

Is there something I am missing here? Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.

Assuming your document has only one Page style, open the Page palette and click on the Attributes tab. Deselect "Start at:"
This should enable continuous numbering throughout the chapters.

Is there any easy way to tell Mellel not to show a page number on the first page of each chapter?

Yes.

1. Open your Page style from the Page palette and tick the "Different first page" box in the lower left corner. Then
2. Insert "Page style break" from Insert -> Breaks after each chapter.

Is it currently possible to show comments in imported DOCX files? No. Only Word documents saved in Rich Text Format retain the comments. Documents saved as .doc show the comments as inline tex at the end of the document (not as comments though.) Tested with Word v16.11.1, Mellel 4.1. on macOS 10.12.6

This is not related to external/internal disk. I thought it was part of those recent PDFkit bugs in macOS 10.12 that, among other things, have affected Bookends. See for example the penultimate post from Jon here: https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4259 If the saving path is i...

When I export my document to a PDF, my outline is lost.

This happens when you export to an external disk.

If you export to your Desktop and make sure all export options are enabled in the upcoming dialog, then the outline is exported correctly. No need to additionally create a TOC.

Typinator on the other hand is a system wide service that can be used in every writing software.

That's right. I forgot to mention that. Thanks for chiming in.

I haven't used the glossaries feature of Nisus, but perhaps this can be replicated in Typinator?‬ Nisus has an auto-correct tool. It's called QuickFix . You can create one QuickFix list for each language (that you use.) Example: If you write "us" (without quotes) in German, this can be expanded as ...
