Re: Small Caps in Citations - Bookends?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've been in touch with Jon, but wondered if anyone had found a good workaround for this. Find and replace searching for 'I' produces hundreds of results in my 1000+ footnotes, and doesn't solve the problem of finding every volume number I have used at some point (ie. I, ...

Re: multi-page tables

How do you guys deal with tables that span more than one page? I have a few with an auto-numbered table caption that precedes the table, then column labels, and the body of the table. If the table won't fit on one page it spills over to the next, but looks like an orphan with no caption or column l...

Re: In case of emergency…

Thanks, Eyal, for your answer. It's good to hear that you are alive and well, and that work on Mellel is going on. But: why this long silence? Why this complete absence of newsletters? Why this absence from the forum? Why again this slowing down of the development process? There is a whole communit...

Re: Text input lag in long-ish Mellel doc

I just wrote to support, also including a little discovery I made about the issue: if I open Mellel and a long document, and start typing, the lag is very noticeable, and Mellel uses 85% CPU (according to resource monitor). Then, if I simply open the Style Sets dialog and dismiss it, typing becomes...

Re: trouble with mentions

Hi there, I'm having some trouble with mentions and I wonder if someone might be able to help. I've done all the work to set up the form for my mentions (different from my TOC format and auto-title format) from within the auto-title editing window. My issue is that when I try to insert a mention in...

Re: Citation appearance and character styles

Double-click on the citation, and select the "Citation" text in the upper box of the dialog. You can then assign a character style to the text using the character style palette. The next time you scan, the citation will fix itself. No need to unscan! This has worked! Thanks a lot. It is i...

Re: Citation appearance and character styles

The Mellel guide states (p. 264, section on «controlling citation appearance»): «Citations in Mellel behave like normal text in a document. That is, you can apply styles to them or to the surrounding text, and they will behave just like any other piece of text.» This doesn’t work properly in my Mel...

Re: Keep lines together in footnotes does not work

It seems to be part of the same limitation. You can only choose either notes do not split at all or that they split in paragraphs. Otherwise it will split anywhere. Keep options must be more complex, but I didn't think it would be so difficult for the Redlers after all they have already accomplishe...

How to get my bibliography to appear before my notes, as most politics journals expect? (Do any journals ask for notes after bibliography?) I tried to follow the advice here: http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1350&hilit=bibliography+endnotes, but it's not working. I put a section...

Re: version antiquation?

I bought Mellel Hebrew Writer special Davka edition version 1.9 some years ago. My needs were limited and usage sporadic (but perfectly satisfactory). Since then, I've migrated to a newer MacBook, running OS 10.5.8. When I attempt to open a previously composed document, Mellel launches but there ap...

Re: Way OT; Could someone translate a short phrase to Hebrew?

I promise this is a one-off, but I know of no better place to ask this, and it's a very short phrase. It isn't essential, but I'd like the modern Hebrew translation of the phrase "Moon Horse Squadron". I'm designing a squadron badge for use filming a script apparently featuring a fictitio...

Re: Transferring text

Hello, I have a text of two pages in Hebrew on Mellel. I have exported it into RTF format, and then opened it in NeoOffice, and in OpenOffice, to check the transferability of the Hebrew text to a PC one. I am facing some difficulties in this operation as it is shown in the attached screen picture. ...

Re: Tight deadline! Please help with RTF export problems.

I am having a hard time staying calm. Mellel is supposed to be able to export its native documents to the RTF format. I failed to notice any fine print in this proclamation, and I am very disappointed to see that such fine print is due. Case in point: Please take a look at the attached Mellel file ...
