RTF import
I have RTF files from several other processors that import into Mellel with only squares representing characters. Is there an adjustment needed to Mellel? Thanks.

I got problems too when importing rtfs from the Palm OS word processor WordSmith – the text lines in Mellel are just black bars.
I'm not easily scared and my first guess was right: The "bars" were black characters on black background.
This can be fixed easily but it is annoying because I write almost everything on the Palm (actually an Alphasmart Dana – http://www.alphasmart.com/products/dana-w_In.html – which has an excellent full size keyboard) with WordSmith. Which means I have to change manually the character background of every text I write.
If I had to guess which program's fault this is I'd definitely go for WordSmith because it's pretty old and less complex as PC word processors so maybe they just forgot to set the value for the background color.
But then again, this only happens with Mellel. No black background in Word, OpenOffice/NeoOffice, TextEdit, Scrivener, Nisus etc.
