this issue has been raised more than once. is it an urgent feature? This issue has been discussed a number of times. There's a simple work around: create a table; place your image in one cell and position the text in the other cell(s). Thanks to the work around, I wouldn't call it urgent, rather us...

I have not found any way to write with a tategaki style when I am writing in Japanese. That is, writing in columns from top to bottom and right to left. Have you tried using Columns [Sections]? If you experiment with the number of columns/font size/gutter width, you could probably find a combinatio...

Except that Pages is not internationalized and can't process right-to-left languages.

I have pages that have a table on them. Each table is 2 rows, 2 columns. The top row has the cells merged.. and second row uses both columns. Essentially I am created a ruled sheet with a margin. Anybody familiar with the cornell note-taking method will understand. Would Columns [Sections] be a sol...

A better solution is to use the RTF (Rich Text Format) export which also could be opened by Microsoft Word File › Export › RTF… . By doing this (and by requesting RTF documents from your colleagues) data transition should work farely well. Some PC users get confused when they see the rtf extension,...

I hesitate to raise this issue -- there are so many more important (and more interesting) topics -- but I think it's time to clean up the forum itself. 1. The "Mark All Topics Read" command never seems to work. 2. The highlighting of new/unread topics appears to be inconsistent [I haven't spent much...

Is there any (easy) way to add a superscript to Aleph for textual citations? Variations of this issue have been raised several times. The problem stems from the conventions that govern adding left-to-right text [including numbers] to right-to-left streams. The easiest solution I know is to insert a...

when I click in the header or footer, I do not have the option of choosing anything. All the options are greyed out and 'dead.' That's the problem -- it can be a little confusing at first -- in Mellel you can only make changes to the control parameters of a footer/header from outside the footer/hea...

Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're asking for. While the article was written with a web developers slant, everything about the usage of such characters (including the multitude of spaces) still applies for ordinary word processing. Yes, but the article makes a big point that text editors/wor...

For further reading on the differences between the en and em dash (and other such characters), I suggest reading: “ The Trouble With EM ’n EN (and Other Shady Characters) ”. Fascinating. Now, what I really need is a reference that explains all this not with regard to HML 4.0, but with regard to Uni...

Wouldn't it be possibile to create a sort of "past 1)" (= ???? ???? ???? ????) and a "paste 2)" (= ?? ???) ecc ecc – so that I can simply "paste" always the very same thing just using a single command? Take a look at Document Variables [page 224 of the Mellel Tutorial or page 144 of the Mellel Guid...

Is there any way within Mellel to duplicate Word's behavior for the em-dash? In Word you just type two hyphens--like so--and it automatically replaces them with the em dash. Auto-substitution is one of the things I really dislike in Word. You're typing in a long run of text and, plop, in the middle...

Also, I want the freedom to redistribute as I see fit. I do take copyright seriously -- I've "published" a number of booklets that I've copyrighted (as two of the transliterated Siddurim are) with permission to use for non-commercial purposes only. If your purposes are commercial, the first url I g...

Your quoted works are restricted by copyright. It is doubtful that they can be redistributed even under "Fair Use." Eric, I said that I hadn't checked them, but I went now and took a look. The last two are copyrighted, but available for non-commercial use. The first appears to be for sale, but else...
