Hello - Thanks for quick response. This worked and I can now launch Mellel but my style sets and auto title info has gone. How can I get this back?

Best, Taman

Hello, I seem to have just started having trouble with Mellel. I was using v2.5 last night and all was fine. This morning when I try to open it, it just crashed. I'm using Snow Leopard, but have been using SN for a while now without any problems. I decided that maybe I would upgrade to 2.7. Paid and...

Hello, Is there a way to have the generated bibliography not at the end of the document? I need to put my figures and tables at the end of the document. Currently I move these pages after generating the bibliography. But I need to be careful with this process, otherwise if I generate a new bibliogra...

I've just started to try the Mozy backup program that is in beta for mac. Seems like quite a nice solution. Runs an offsite backup for you and provides you with 2Gb of free storage. Nice if you want to keep some of your files remotely backedup. I'm planning to go for the unlimited storage for USD5/m...

How dumb of me!! Thanks!

Well, looks like the paragraph settings are more to do with hyphenation. Something that I don't bother with.

I am using UK english, and have the spell check selected and UK Dictionary selected in the appropriate paragraph, but it seems to highlight my spelling errors based on the US dictionary. I've changed between the two dictionaries (UK and US) for the paragraph and doesn't seem to make any difference. ...

As you're not using page numbers, I'd add it as a comment, so like:

\ Alexiad, Book XI, Ch. VI-VII\

Cheers, Taman

Just insert the citation like normal in the footnote. Then double click on the inserted citation. This will open the 'edit citation' dialogue. Click on the 'don't enclose formatted citation' and when you scan the doc, the citation will be there without brackets.

ah, thanks for the tip. Will give it a go. Agree would be nicer if this didn't occur, but at least I can do this now and not have them revert everytime.

Just noticed something a little strange with citations. Not sure if this is a bug, or I'm doing something wrong. Basically, I have citations in my standard text using a paragraph style that has a 12-point font. I also have citations in footnotes using a paragraph style that has a 10-point font. If I...

Not quite sure what you mean. You can insert footnotes by selecting insert-note-footnote in the insert menu. This will put a footnote in. If you're talking about having your references come up as footnotes on each page, I'm not actually sure as always put mine at the end of the document. Re brackets...

Have you selected bookends as the bibliographic software in the Mellel options?

Hi there, I think you'll be happy with your new tools. I'll try to answer this quickly and somewhat briefly! I would only put one entry for each paper in book ends, then when you reference it in Mellel (via inserting, ie. control-Y) you double click on the inserted reference and add the page numbers...

I don't think it's spelling, as nearlly all the authors in the references are not in the dictionary. Bit of a mystery!
