To the point here: we are thinking of adding a solution of sorts to working with MathType. A more thorough solution would probably rely on some mechanism similar to the one in Tex Out of curiosity Ori, does this mean than you're considering implementing something like TeX's equation environment, or...

Re: Tables.. Arrgggg
I will not reiterate the good suggestions below, but just point out that the fact that we did not get to fixing the way tables work in Mellel doesn't mean we don't think they suck... Comments like this nearly make me chortle, and just reiterate part of why I enjoy using Mellel ... a community with ...

Re: Tables.. Arrgggg
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...

I just would hate to lose a month's worth of work if for some reason I find something about it that just catches me up no matter how much I try to work around it. Perhaps you can tell us what your needs are, and we can let you know if Mellel includes the functionality, if there are any catches and/...

Janet, I must say that I've never experienced your problems. As far as session tracking, or the bulletin board remembering which topics you have visited or marked read, this may be a problem with your browser. I recommend clearing out your cache and cookies, and logging back in to the forum. I've ne...
I'm not suggesting that double hyphen/em dashes are used uniformly all over the world or in uniform ways. I'm merely saying that this is something other programs have in this particular fashion (double hyphen to em dash), programs I use quite often, and I'd love it if Mellel had it. I'm not fully o...
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...

The system scans the typed word when it first appears, and then checks it against the dictionary. If the dictionary is modified later (such as adding a new learned spelling), then the word needs to be rescanned against the dictionary. Because that would be incredibly intensive on the system to const...
Only half-true. The Word feature that converts two hyphens into an em dash also controls the auto-correct for common misspellings. If we're going to go this route, I'd prefer one hyphen for a hyphen, two for an en dash and three for an em dash (just like TeX). Yes, I know this about Word. I was ref...
I'm certain that if you searched through the fora you could find past discussions on auto-correct and similar types of functions for Mellel. Most users fall into one of two categories: those who desperately miss these functions from Word (but who could live without it), and those who vehemently des...

I don't believe what you're looking for is possible without special software. The System Preferences only assign keyboard shortcuts to menu items, and the style variations do not appear in the menus. Besides, as was indicated in a previous post of yours, if you assign Cmd+I to variation 2 (which you...

The most basic step to usability will be (1) the step from independent styles to hereditary styles and (2) relating page format with margins, and (3) split screen, and I hope that these steps will be taken in the near future. Not to speak about a clean-up of the user interface, it got cluttered and...

... To address the other concerns I offer up: Allow a function to have Replace Styles also work across Auto–Title elements. Allow customizable keyboard shortcuts (beyond the standard system–wide capacity) to allow us to easily enter Auto–Titles. Thanks for the offer, this is exactly what I asked fo...
