I did some tests and it looks like there is an issue with exporting PDFs in general to an external disk. This is not "by design" but some sort of bug in Mellel or in the system (and if the system is to blame then we will probably need to find a work-around). I don't recall that this issue was report...

I meant to write "doesn't allow" and wrote "does allow". I corrected my original post.

This is not related to external/internal disk. You simply need to export via File->Export and not via the print dialog. Exporting to PDF via the print dialog doesn't allow Mellel to add the outline to the PDF document.

Please make sure to report such issues directly to us.
Simply choose Help->Support and fill out the form.
It's very simple and you can make sure that we actually notice the issue.
We can miss stuff that's going on in the forum.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear that. We'll investigate. In the meanwhile what I suggest is that you
1. Put your current copy of Mellel in the trash
2. Download Mellel 4.1 from our site (www.mellel.com/download)
3. Copy Mellel to your applications folder.

Regarding importing Pages files. Pages is a popular word-processor from apple but that doesn't make its file open for importing without some reverese-engineering. With Mellel 4.1 (comming in a matter of days) you will be able to open docx files exported from pages. Regarding not being able to look f...

I'm afraid there is no further discount beyond what you get for buying Mellel and Bookends as a package.

You can purchase the Mellel+Bookends bundle here: http://sites.fastspring.com/mellel/prod ... kendscombo

This is not a normal thing to happen. Even if you have no templates of your own there are several built-in templates which should show up in this menu.
I suggest that you contact support and we will figure out what's going on.

This is typical of a glitch in the operating system causing it to "forget" which files open with which app. What you need to do is to not only assign Mellel again to these files but also make sure the change applies to all of Mellel's files: 1. Select the file in the finder 2. Choose File->Get Info ...

I don't think it is a good idea to stay on 4.0.2. We've fixed several bugs that existed in that version with 4.0.3 and as annoying as this "diamond styles" issue may seem I don't think it is balances out with the speed enhancements (which are actually related to the diamond styles issue) and the bug...

"Used styles" referrers to styles that are used within the document. As long as there is some text that is applied with that style, it will appear in the replace styles dialog, otherwise it will not.

The most likely cause of this is that you had the search expression correct and the options correct but you also had set formatting (inadvertently) which caused the search to fail. If a search for a word you know exists in the document fails, make sure that the formatting for the find field is empty...

This sounds like you're running Mellel in trial mode and the trial mode expired.
If you haven't purchased Mellel then you need to purchase Mellel to continue working. If you did purchase Mellel then you need to make sure to actually activate your copy by entering your user name and registration code.

Please voice your desire for a Mellel integration to ProWritingAid with the ProWritingAid people. If enough people request this, I'm sure that they will add support for our file format.
