If the page is not full of text, there is a difference. 'Below text' means _immediately_ below the text. It puts the footnotes right after the text, possibly in the middle of the page. 'Bottom of page' puts the notes -- as it says -- at the bottom of the page. There is no difference if the page is ...

It makes them into endnotes, that is, they get put right at the end of the text you are writing, however long it is. Sorry my question was not clear, I simply translated from the German version. Now I switched to English: I'd like to know what the "Below text" option actually does, I didn...

Don, The problem is that inserting a section break into an existing text will split footnotes belonging to one single stream into two "groups" even though the position is set to "Bottom of Page" in the Edit note attributes dialogue.Matthias Yes, I see what you mean. I have a boo...

Don, sorry, it seems my earlier posting was not really clear. The problem is that inserting a section break into an existing text will split footnotes belonging to one single stream into two "groups" even though the position is set to "Bottom of Page" in the Edit note attributes ...

I just ran into the same problem. Is this really the way Mellel ought to handle footnotes "through" section breaks? Mellel has an option to keep footnotes either at the end of text or at the bottom of the page, and I hoped selecting the latter would take care of this issue. But I it seems ...

I agree on both points too, but I think it's only fair to say that the Mellel-Bookends combination, since the recent upgrades, is the best tool for producing long documents with many citations. The features that are needed are mostly there, even if the interface still needs a bit of tweaking. I ful...

I would like to support transalpin's request. A better implementation of OTF superscript for reference numbers could be achieved with the use of style variations: Besides the option to assign a character style for note references in the footnotes preference window there could be another option allow...

Actually, it's neither, because it collapses all citations of one work with cited pages but represents separately all citations with added text. While I welcomed the new functioning of the palette, I would like to request it to be consistent by not not showing citations with added text. As the list...

Update: The only issue is that my Mention of the Chapter title in the header aren't appearing now that I've set the introduction to be something other than a Chapter auto-title. The workaround is a section style break for the intro, which in turn requires another workaround to account for page numb...

I have set up my documents with page headers in which I use mentions of chapter headings and section headings. Now, sometimes an auto-title might run too long for a one line mention in the header and the text breaks to the next line. While this certainly is the expected behaviour, I d'like to keep t...

This is somewhat laborious, but you would only need to do it once, assuming you use the same page width regularly: 1. For this, use points for the measurement unit. 2. Place a single row single column table in the header. 3. Place a tab at 20 points from the left margin 4. Using the table palette, ...

As to your first question: In the paragraph style window you can define the lead for each tab position in your style. Select the respective tab-symbol (i.e. the one right before your page number) in the ruler within the paragraph style window and then chose "Ellipsis" from the "Lead&q...

Cameron, Thanks for your hints. My first suggestion is to use a center-aligned paragraph style for your mentions. However, if that option is unavailable because you have other elements in your header, there is another workaround. Yes, indeed there are also page numbers in the header either left or r...

I ran into two issues re auto-titles to which I seek a solution: 1. I have set up my document with even/uneven page headers in which I use mentions of chapter headings (uneven pages) and section headings (even pages). The mentions are centre aligned using the respective centre tab. Now, whenever a m...

James, Don't worry. The behaviour you descreibed is exactly as it should be. Mellel hat no citation delimiters, instead it treats citations as objects. This is what you see as higlighted text. You can easily access these objects by double clicking on them. You can then enter additional info such as ...
