Mellel would be just a bit more awesome if it had the possibility to easily (without saving as) send documents as PDF/RTF/Word. This is a good feature that many word processors have. So perhaps it's hard, for some reason, to implement in Mellel. But please consider it.
If anyone knows of a workaround meanwhile, I'd be very grateful to know!

Re: Send as PDF/Word
Is there some reason you are not using the built-in Mellel options
-- File/Export/Rtf
-- File/Export/Word format
-- File/Export/pdf

Re: Send as PDF/Word
Certainly I have those options. But that's not what I'm requesting: I'm asking about the possibility of "sending as Xformat" similar to what LibreOffice, Nisus, and Pages offer (in slightly different implementations).

OK, so please explain what's the advantage of "sending as X format" over a simple Export.shmulik wrote:Certainly I have those options.

Re: Send as PDF/Word
I find it a bit peculiar that you seem to be reviewing for Redlers my feature request, but fine.
Now to send a Mellel file I have to do this:
1. File--Export as Word.
2. Switch to Mail
3. Find/Attach the .doc
4. find/delete the exported file
the possibility I'm suggesting (and implemented in several other Word processors is a single Menu item:
1. File--Send As...
2. This sends you to Mail, where is opens up a new message. Done.

OK, now I understand that what you are looking for is a shortcut to Mail.shmulik wrote:the possibility I'm suggesting (and implemented in several other Word processors is a single Menu item:

Personally, I wouldn't care to work that way, so I wouldn't give the request high priority on the Redler's To-Do list.
Next time the group discusses our wishes for Mellel development, make sure to add your request to the list and ask others to "vote" for it.
