Re: What's next for Mellel 3.4?

#1 - Better import/export for .docx format. It is nearly impossible to send accurate proofs which contain RTL text to PC users outside of PDF format. #2 - Cascading styles. This just makes sense and would save a ton of work for the user. #3 - Minimize Palettes option. The Adobe products are a perfec...

Re: Strange Printing Problem (Scaling Issue)

As I have been looking at this printed page, I'm wondering if it might be trying to leave room to print the document comments on the left side. If so, is there any way to turn this feature off?

Strange Printing Problem (Scaling Issue)

I've been using Mellel a few years now and never had this problem until now and only with one document. Whenever I try to print, the scaling of the page is reduced. No matter what I do I can't seem to get it to print at 100% size. I have it set up to traditional letter size in with the layout being ...

RTL Style problem

I'm running Mellel 3.2.7b2. I have a style I've created called "Hebrew" which has an associated character style also called "Hebrew". Although I have the style set up to be RTL formatted, when I apply the style the text never changes to right-to-left. I always have to manually ch...

Re: Tool Palette Request

Related to this, sometimes after my computer wakes with an external display attached, the palette is half visible with the top half extending over the top of my laptop monitor. I therefore can't grab it to reposition it. I have to "reset palette", which is fine, except that I also need to...

Tool Palette Request

Just wanted to say a few things about the newly improved Tool Palette in Mellel 3. First, I am VERY thankful for the improvement. It really helps in regard to saving space and being better organized. Observation: In regard to the "Use small size" option on the Tool Palette, it doesn't save...

Re: Auto-titles + Styles Problem

Thanks, Don, but this still isn't working. The Chapter item is a certain auto-title type (which has what appears to be a grey screw as its icon) and cannot be moved. However, I cannot create that "type" of auto-title section. I can only create the other format (which has what appears to be...

Re: Auto-titles + Styles Problem

Thank you for your response. I've tried creating a new auto-title type, but it shoves it out of the Structure and down to the bottom with the illustrations, etc. in my outline, totally throwing it out of sequence. Any suggestions?

Re: Auto-titles + Styles Problem

Don - I have one more question that I did not see addressed in your tutorial (unless I somehow missed it). Right now, I have my auto-titles for my chapters set up like so: Chapter Curr#. Title. This prefixes each chapter with "Chapter 1." or "Chapter 2." etc. This is great. Howev...

Auto-titles + Styles Problem

I have hunted up and down, over and across, but just cannot find a way to associate my Auto-title "mention" in my header / footer areas with a formatting (character / paragraph) style. I am also struggling with nearly the same thing in my body content where I have my auto-titles inserted. ...
