I think an image is currently your only option. An Illustrator file just containing the single capital letter would be a good choice.

Re: Mellel 3.0 and Sente
I am on 10.8.2. It sounds very much like the same bug. If you don't want to log out/in it sounds like killing appleeventsd would also fix the problem temporarily.

Re: Mellel 3.0 and Sente
Also, integration with Sente randomly breaks for me — I can switch between the two apps with cmd-Y, but this stops inserting a reference into Mellel as it should. Also, scanning breaks at the same time. Restarting either or both applications doesn't help; I have to reboot to restore functionality. T...

Fix equation alignment in Mellel
Hi, I used to use MathType to generate equations to embed in Mellel. This used to work great -- Mellel would automatically incorporate the baseline adjustment from a pasted equation, and everything looked perfect. However, with the latest versions of Mellel and MathType, the baseline adjustment is l...

Re: Mellel 3.0 and Sente
Live bibliography would be great. But it would be even better if the redlers fixed the bugs with surrent Sente comments — for example, the option to not enclose the citation doesn't work at all.

Re: Why is iCloud support MAS only?
~/Library is hidden, but at least at the moment it is always present, and that is where iCloud documents are synced to.

Re: Why is iCloud support MAS only?
Your iCloud documents are synced into ~/Library/Mobile Documents. Within that folder there will be a folder with "Mellel" in the title, probably (I don't have the MAS version, so I don't know the exact name). In a sub-folder called "Documents" will be all your iCloud Mellel docum...

Re: Save Version/Discard changes
Janet, as I understand it, these saving semantics are how Apple wants to do things now. You don't need to explicitly save, and state is always preserved when you close and open a file. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's not the Redlers that have chosen this. As Don said, one can always sele...

Re: and on to 3.1
I'm a little surprised that there's a live bibliography, but no live tables of contents. Live bib. requires a round-trip interaction with a piece of external software, whereas live contents would all be done within Mellel.

Re: Insert a Chart
The issue occurs when you have paragraph line spacing set to a "lines" unit, and in the options of the image "adjust fixed line spacing to image" is selected. I think this is covered in either the Mellel guide or the tutorial.

Re: Support for BibTex in Mellel
The issue with direct bibtex support in Mellel is that Mellel would then be responsible for formatting the bibliography and citations. The Redlers would have to write a module from scratch to handle all the complexity of flexible formatting for different journals. Personally I would prefer they leav...

Re: Long document variable does not respect document borders
Sounds like a bug that should be reported to the redlers.

That's weird. You should send an email to the Redlers with a bug report.

Re: keyboard shortcuts
Yes. Look in the Edit menu: there are short cuts for "right to left" and for "left to right". I guess there's no "toggle direction".

Re: Selecting all footnotes (a variant)
Is it possible to use the find/replace styles functionality in this case? That would only work if the footnotes had consistent unique formatting, of course...
