Re: Awesome update! But a few things....
But it would be nice to hear from Ori c.s. what the future will bring in this respect.

Re: Track Changes, what will you do?
A sophisticated commenting tool would indeed be very useful: not only for commenting the work of others, but also as a repository of personal notes about things to add, to check, to change etc. As far as a collaboration tool is concerned, personally I can easily do without it. When correcting the wo...

Re: Track Changes - A Word-specific Poll
I agree with Dylan in both respects. Track changes as such is not a very important addendum to Mellel, but track changes without perfect integration with Word is completely useless.

Re: Track Changes, what will you do?
Sometimes, reading certain comments, one gets the impression that a word processor without a track changes feature doesn't even deserve to be called a word processor. But it should be remembered that a year or so ago, during the last large inventory of Mellel desiderata, this desideratum turned out ...

Re: Track Changes, what will you do?
Track changes is considered an essential feature of a word processor by many. But it is not. It is fashionable, but not essential. Personally, I always insert my remarks between double brackets. Works perfectly. Never had any complaint.

Re: Positioning auto-titles under images surrounded by text
Thanks, Juddbert! I do own Pages, and I'll follow your suggestion!

Re: Awesome update! But a few things....
Like criens, I second kga1978's requests, in particular the first two. And I must confess that I find the implementation of floating images and wrapping text in 2.7 a bit disappointing. It's not bad, but it's mainstream and incomplete. From Mellel, I was expecting something more 'special'. I hope 2....

Re: Positioning auto-titles under images surrounded by text
Update: just found this thread, from which can be deduced that what I want (captions moving with images, captions glued to images) is still not possible in 2.7. That's a pity, for, as one of the contributors to the above mentioned thread pointed out, "what is an image without some words?"....

Positioning auto-titles under images surrounded by text
I have been playing for a while with Mellel's brandnew wrapping text feature, and I find it difficult to combine in an orderly way an image surrounded by text with an auto-title explaining that image (for instance: "Figure 7: The harbour of Sidney"). When an image is surrounded on three of...

Little problem with removing markers
When I try to remove a colored text marker, often a very small piece of it remains in the document, and refuses to go away no matter what I try. Does anybody have any idea how this little problem can be solved? Is this a small bug, or am I missing something?

Re: Mellel 2.7 around the corner...
Like daiyi, I use Mellel for my personal projects, and Pages, including its track changes feature, for my communication with MS Word users. Works very well. For this reason, in my case track changes in Mellel is not an urgent desideratum. I'd rather prefer indexing, better footnote handling and othe...

Creating a letter template
Unfortunately I must confess that, even after years of daily experience with Mellel, I continue to find working with styles difficult. I have read the style sections in the User Manual (and those in Don Broadribb's Tutorial) many times, and yet even designing a simple letter template remains difficu...

Re: Anybody any idea where we're going?
Most certainly not. If this had been the case, Ori would have told us: see here .
So I'm afraid you, and all of us, will have to be patient.
