Local style sheet?

Is there an easy way to give a document its own stylesheet where I can redefine styles to my heart's content without having any of this show up in the master stylesheet? Basically I'm looking for a way to force a "diamond" stylesheet. Is this possible?

Re: Mellel 2.7 around the corner...

ok, but I hope you'll forgive me if I keep begging and pleading for independent (translation) columns (or table-rows-across-pages, which would accomplish the same thing), as well as… hmm… undo reform!

Re: Good news from Apple!

That's true… my hope stems from the concept that Apple seems to be finally paying attention to the hundreds of millions of RTL language speakers in the world, and once it fixes the OS, it might move on and do something about the word processing situation. Pure speculation, perhaps they will upgrade ...

A permanent home for "SBL Hebrew Balagan"

(update)
oops! not only does the current version of SBLH includes kamatz katan, but I'm also not allowed to redistribute homebrew versions of the font!

Re: Mellel vs. Pages ('09)

This situation is seriously garbage. But it doesn't really matter to me because the likelihood that Pages will ever have anything anywhere near Mellel's nikud/ta'am support is nonexistent so with Mellel I must stay…

Re: Page numbering

A lot of Jewish prayer books use that numbering system (where it says page 3 on both the left and right pages).

Re: Create 2 independent columns ?

The exact feature you're looking for (the #1 implementation of which would be for parallel translations) is, I have heard, in the works for a future Mellel update. I'm waiting... patiently...
