Re: Table lines thickness

There seems to be a problem with older documents as you’ve suspected. While I could alter all the table lines in your Mellel file to my wishes (thickness, color…) some lines seem to be drawn incorrectly. If I place the cursor into a cell with the thicker lines, the table inspector displays a thickne...

Re: Image in wrapped text, with caption in proper place.

I would not recommend such a hack as it has several disadvantages: You could not search the image caption because it’s a image and not a text The low-resolution screenshot does look ugly when printed or viewed in greater zoom levels You’re not able to get automatic image numbering As a result of the...

Your chance to jump in and report your wishes/needs to the Redlers. It’s a beta – probably a work in progress – and should be treated in such a way.

Re: 2.7 beta: any way to make captions move?

If you are a beta tester, it would be the best idea to report your wishes in a beta report. If you’re not a beta tester, you could either wait for the final version to see if the included features meet your requirements or you could post your request here or send a feature request directly to the Re...

Re: PDF preview in .mellel package

I also would like to see this as an option because of the same reasons rpcameron already mentioned. Maybe the PDF generation could be moved to a background thread (so it doesn’t block your interface) or the pdf will only be generated if you actually close a document or perform a save as… operation. ...

Re: Feature request: Special characters as part of the pallette

I too vote for an additional character palette. Sure, the OS already has one but it’s not a pleasure to use. I also have PopChar installed which is much better, but still I would prefer a separate palette for Mellel for different reasons: 1. Language capabilities Mellel is a great multi-language wor...

Re: Wishlist for version 2.7

different people, different opinions... Yes. I'm using the Apple Aqua Interface and have installed the UNO-GUI-hack am just happy with the look and feel of Mellel. It would be fine if more application would have cleaner toolbars insteads of those colourcrowded intrusive ones. But of course a user c...

Re: Wishlist for version 2.7

Are there specific things you don’t like in the current interface? Do you mean by „make it more friendl...

Re: Where can I get the most recent version of Mellel 2.5.x? ||

Mellel 2.5 have been the only 2.5 version before 2.6 and 2.6.1 were released. You could download the latest version (2.6.1) from the Redler’s website http://www.redlers.com/download.html . If you need the 2.5 version for any reason, you could ask the Redlers if they provide a download link (support ...

Re: Wishlist for version 2.7

It may be a good idea to name the new thread simply “Wishlist” so the story wouldn’t repeat for every Mellel update.

Re: Importing Word Doc loses some content

Mellel’s word import currently doesn’t support all word features (links, textart…) as Mellel doesn’t provide this features itself so it couldn’t display the imported content. I guess (but could not test currently) this also is true for text boxes. You could try to save your Word document (in Word) a...
