Reverting autotitles to regular text

It's possible to format a regular paragraph as an autotitle by double clicking on the autotitle level in the palette (or via the Title dialogue box). I haven't found an easy way to reverse the process—to turn an autotitle back into regular text. Am I missing something?

Hide footnotes in compact view

I saw some discussion of this back in 2008 but nothing since. I think it would be a simple but very useful feature to be able to toggle view/hide the footnotes at the bottom of the page. They are visually distracting.

Re: Bug when moving content via outline view

I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed. The page break should be inseparable from the autotitle. I've also found that if a subheading is moved in the outline just above, eg., a chapter heading with a page break before it, it gets inserted between the page break and the chapter heading, rather than abo...

Re: What's next for Mellel 3.4?

A small thing. I would like to see an easier way of applying and removing autotitles. I would like to be able to place the cursor in a paragraph and simply click on the autotitle to apply it to the whole paragraph—at the moment either I have to use the dialogue box or "untitled" is inserte...

Re: Cursor disappears and no formatting in tables

It looks as though the document had got mangled in some way. This is the first time I've used tables. I copied everything into a new document and the problem seems to have corrected itself.

Cursor disappears and no formatting in tables

I'm running Mellel 3.2.4b2 on OSX 10.8.5. I have a problem with the cursor in tables. On first click on a cell the cursor appears though it does not blink as in normal text. On second click on text in the same cell it disappears though I can type at the location. If I then click on another cell and ...

Temporary citation format with Sente

Hi. I am trying out Sente 5.7.5 with Mellel 2.6.1. I have not found a way to change the temporary citation format from author date (eg. Smith 2008) to author, short title (eg. Smith, Shortbooktitle). Is this possible? While working on the document it would be much easier to keep track of things if t...

Re: Feature request: hide note streams

I would also support this request. I find it distracting in compact view in particular to have to read across footnotes at the bottom of each page. I would suggest either a dedicated button in the toolbar or a show/hide footnotes (etc.) option in the show menu at the bottom of the screen.
