The "Update document styles" button is checked. I assume that means that it should follow the modified style set.

I am also having difficulty figuring out global style sets. The Global button on the "Edit style sets" window is greyed out for all my style sets. I assume this means they are already global. I changed a style set (called "Outline") on document A to make it work consistently over...

I, too, would find such a renumbering system useful. For example, the way lists work now, each item must be a single paragraph. It would be nice to have multiple paragraphs in a single item on the list.

Thank you. I knew there had to be a simple solution, but it might be easier if you included a menu of these items directly on the find window in a future version.

I have looked at the manual, the tutorial, and fiddled extensively with the search/replace feature, but I cannot figure out how to search/replace tabs or returns or other non-text characters in the document. neither can be entered directly. Am I missing something?

I am slowly converting Word files to Mellel, but since I've installed 2.1, Mellel no longer imports .doc files. I get an error window that says (approximately) that the file "cannot be imported because of the following error: no error."

Anybody else have this problem?
