Still waiting for text wrap around on images

[BreakNeckRidge]

Mellel is generally a great program. I'm a registered user and I use it as my main word processor. However, until it gets text wrap around of images I'm still forced to sometimes export my document to another word processor just to get the text wrap around.

When I bought mellel I was told this was on the way, but that was a couple of years ago. The authors have made a great program, and I appreciate it, which is why I paid them, but I think I've been patient - it's time for them to deliver on this key feature that was promised to us.

(Unless this feature has already been added somewhere and I missed it in the release notes)

Nope, it's not here yet. It comes when it comes, I guess. I too am eagerly awaiting the new version.

As I'm sure you already know, there is an annoying, but do-able workaround using tables.

Any hints at when wrap is coming? I, for one, need it!!

Another vote for text-wrap-around images. My MSc. dissertation will include some images and I don't want to rely on a workaround. This is where programs like Pages excel but I want to be able to use Mellel rather than Word/Pages.

Even then, if Mellel at least did a decent job of exporting a word document or even directly to Pages... Right now if I try to export a document with footnotes to word or rtf, Pages won't read the footnotes... Whereas a word or rtf exported from OpenOffice reads perfectly into Pages, footnotes and all.

If you export the Mellel document as a rtf file, and then first open it in OpenOffice and then save it again as rtf, Pages will be able to open up the document and all the footnotes are retained. I know, it's not good to have to use another application to be able to get the file to be readable in a third application. Maybe something for the Redlers to have a look at? (I'll send them an e-mail regarding this).

You're right, it's as ugly a workaround as it gets, but at least it works... Would be good to have a Pages export and retain styles, though.
