Re: Moving Documents with Style Sets?

I am interested in an automated way to to do this as well. One thing that I can tell you is that you should not do it the way that I have for about 7 years? I was syncing my Application Support/Mellel folder between computers. Just last week this caused me enormous problems (first time). I don't kno...

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

I am a bit afraid of upgrading to 3.2 until I hear that this bug has been stomped.
I found 3.0 to be most resistant to the 3.2 problem which I think has something to do with the Style Set Folder.
Any chance that progress has been made?
Thanks.

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

I am having the problem on 10.7 as well. However, this is my own fault. I keep the Mellel Library folder synchronized so that when I change a style on one computer it appears on the other ones. This has worked well for many years. However, the downside is that now all of my computers have toxic styl...

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

To prevent Mellel from crashing I moved all the contents of /User/Library/Application Support/Mellel/Style Set to a different folder. Now Mellel will start. If I move just one of those style set files into the folder then Mellel crashes on start up. I have emailed you one of the toxic style set file...

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

I see the problem now all the way back to 3.01.

2.72 does not have the problem - but it will open modern files.

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

The download does not work. I get this:

Also, I am having this problem with different versions of Mellel.

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

After deleting all style sets it runs.
It may be usable BUT I cannot add files.
ALSO my most recent document file cannot be opened even though older ones can be and newly saved ones can be opened.

I am going to email you this file.

Well darn it.
Just realized that now it runs but Mellel will open recently saved files.

Bummer,

Re: Mellel won't work at all after latest update

I had the same thing happen and I have a fix until things are repaired by redlers. In my case this happened on 10.5 and 10.7. I have not tested 10.6. There is something wrong with the Style Sets. To make Mellel run open your library folder (user library not system). On 10.7 you have to do a Option G...

Re: and on to 3.1

I would like to have place holders that report the word count between place holders. I often have to write a 200 abstract and a 1000 word introduction. I would like to be able to insert these place holders and see the word count in each section as I write. Thanks for listening to my meager wishes. N...

BUG in Track Changes with display mode

I use track changes extensively using in groups of 2-4 editors/writers. When the changes are made to changes, and Mellel is in Final or Final with markup, it often fails to properly display the text. Instead, previous edits appear and cannot be removed. Solution is to change the display to Display c...

Re: Feature request: (La)TeX export

I vote No.

Xml format is more important.
Compare documents in track changes in more important.

Re: Mellel 2.7 around the corner...

Didn't mean to ignore the others that mentioned track changes. For some reason your comments did not show up.
The track changes in Pages is really pretty nice. I wouldn't mind if Mellel's track changes worked like that.

Re: Mellel 2.7 around the corner...

Track changes please...please.
Am I really the only one hungry for this feature?
Happy for those who need flowing text but track changes is key for group writing/editing.

Thanks,

Re: Mellel 2.7 around the corner...

I am very happy for all those who need text to flow around images. I am also pleased that the implementation has been well done. For me it is of little use. Even though I use figures I am adept and using tables, etc. to embed them in Mellel. I lust after track changes. This is so very important to m...
