It works fine in my 2.5.

You should be able to do this in Preferences -> Appearance.

That's very helpful. Thank you very much.

Is it possible in a given manuscript for Mellel to find and list the number of specific words? For example, if I have a document and I want to find out how many times the word "dog" is mentioned in, is there a way to do that?

I had to send it off for publication, so am not sure what app was used to open it. I am curious, though, if this is a typical problem with Mellel. Having said that, I also have to say that Mellel, combined with Bookends, is the best writing experience I've had since I began using a computer (20+ yea...

I used Bookends for footnotes. When I converted my mellel document to .rtf, the footnotes did not export. Can someone tell me why, and how to make sure they will convert? Thank you.

Thank you for the help.

Is it possible to insert a date into a document that will change whenever the document is opened?

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you. I was asking in light of another post: "by shades on Thu Jan 17, 2008 1:36 am Howdy. I began the switch to Mellel about four years ago, after 15 years with Word, and 5 years with Nisus Classic. Styles were the most difficult in mastering. But I must say that once you get the hang of ...
