That's a much appreciated suggestion, thank you. I have so much Mellel specific content in my document that I doubt that it would all survive the process of exporting and re-importing. It is of course possible to delete the affected areas individually and re-insert the text manually, which is what I...

Many thanks for trying to reproduce this issue, Icelander. It's good to know that it's not specific to me or my set-up. If I search for citations now, it turns up no results (neither the residual citation markers nor the new validated citations I have inserted recently are picked up). Thanks for the...

Thanks for the helpful response! Perhaps because I have the Mellel store bought version rather than the App Store one, "Browse All Versions" doesn't show up as an option for me under "Revert," so I wasn't able to get back to an earlier version. I tried the suggestion regarding co...

Due to the issue with Mellel 4.01 and Bookends, all of the citations in my project were corrupted. I did a global search and replace to blank out all my citations so that I could start over from scratch. Having done so, I notice a small irregularity: where the citations were before, the surrounding ...

I think that composing directly in Mellel (with Bookends) is the best choice for academic writing. I am also working on a dissertation and used Scrivener and Ulysses before switching to Mellel. Scrivener and Ulysses are also wonderful tools, but I think Mellel has the edge for academics. My reasons ...

I have also run into issues with Bookends integration with the latest build of Mellel / High Sierra. It might be a good idea to wait for the Mellel team to come up with a fix before doing any more work with bibliographies. At the least, having a good backup in place before scanning / unscanning any ...

I have a similar interest in using ProWritingAid, a grammar and style checker for writing in English, with Mellel. In the case of ProWritingAid, it works as a plugin with Word for Windows but not with Word for MacOS (there is a stand-alone desktop app for MacOS which can open Word and other file typ...

Thank you Icelander and Avner for these pointers. I studied the resources available regarding mapping styles in citations and bibliographies, and now have a much better understanding of how this works. Strangely enough, the issue with those particular citations was not fully resolved by toggling the...

Another question relating to the new index feature: is there any way of interacting with the index markers in the iPad version of Mellel?

After scanning my Mellel document with Bookends, I am finding that the citations in one section of the document appear in a Character Style different to the paragraph around them (specifically, Courier Regular 12 (Base) as opposed to Body (Base) style I am using as default). Applying the default par...

Thank you for clarifying the situation with regard to iCloud syncing. I've set up a new folder as you suggested, and so far my work has been synced back and forth seamlessly.

The grammar and spelling checker ProWritingAid has a plug-in for MS Word for Windows that allows it to be used without ever leaving the document you're working on. I don't know if Mellel has any capacity to support plug-ins, but this would be something really amazing to see in the future. There is a...

I understand that the version of Mellel purchased directly from the Mellel store works slightly differently to the MAS version with respect to syncing over iCloud, meaning that this is not a great solution for those of us syncing between the desktop and iPad versions of Mellel. I also understand tha...
