Re: Paragraphs breaking
OK: I've sorted it out (kind of). I am making this third comment today for posterity. It turns out that if you choose "Continuous" numbering for the footnotes, rather than "restart every section", "May Separate from Reference" become available, and choosing this sorts o...

Re: Paragraphs breaking
The problem is certainly something to do with the footnotes, because if I change them to endnotes, it all flows normally. But I can't use endnotes in this case.
Thanks for any help in figuring this out.

Re: Paragraphs breaking
Apologies: I got distracted there. I am returning to work on this document some months later.
I can't select "May separate from reference" for some reason. Here's my note attributes screenshot: https://capture.dropbox.com/lShBip8Pj6AkgKnH

Re: Paragraphs breaking
Thanks!
I already tried the first thing: copying the text into a new document.
I will certainly send you a copy: most grateful.
Maybe we can figure out what's going on, and perhaps describe a bug that needs fixing, or whatever.

Re: Paragraphs breaking
No, I've tried putting in lots of page breaks, but it doesn't help at all. The paragraphs are obstinately broken up, even where there are not footnotes. In one case I get a single word on the page on its own, without any footnotes attached. Not great! Since it didn't happen in the past might it be a...

Re: Paragraphs breaking
Thanks: I'll try that. Sounds like it might work. I don't remember it happening with other documents of the same length. Maybe I used more breaks... We'll see.

Paragraphs breaking
I'm not sure why, but in the document I'm currently working on (if it's relevant, its 218 pages long, but that shouldn't be a problem), various paragraphs are broken up such that I get a line or two on one page, a line or two on the following page, and a line or two on a third page. These paragraphs...

Re: iPad and Mac sync
I seem to recall that it used to work fine. Am I to understand that I would have to repurchase Mellel to have the sync back?
That would be unfortunate.

Re: Style set of a document has been lost
I've just spent a pretty frustrating couple of hours with the previous version of Mellel, before discovering that I had to update to the new version.
I've done that. Now I'm wondering how to restore my style sets which disappeared in the process.

Sorry, I looked at your picture again. It seems to be something else.

Re: Mellel 3.3.7 bug
I don't think it's a bug. I think you have the annotations pane open. If so, you can close it in the View menu.
I had the same difficulty, as did someone else on the forum. Perhaps the redlers can find a way to make it clearer what that grey area means, so people know how to close it.

Re: Mellel developers... you out there?
I don't really get the impression that the developers worry too much about what is expressed on these forums. Very occasionally they respond, but it seems that they have their own ideas about what is important to develop and what is less important. Given that the product has many strengths (alongsid...

Re: Mellel developers... you out there?
It could be that rather than the Commodore 64 or the ZX-81, they are planning to do what they pre-announced in the May Newsletter: >In the near future, we believe you'll be able to fix and change Mellel documents on your iPad, or send a Mellel document - as-is - for review and changes by someone who...

Re: Mellel developers... you out there?
I don't think you are in a minority.
I have my own (shorter) list of things I'd like to see developed in the Mac version, prior to any leap to new platforms.
Still, it's good to get signs of life from the developers. Better than silence, in my opinion.

Good news.
"New platform" sounds interesting. Not the iwatch, I hope.
