Custom numbering unit in Auto-Title, etc.
Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2017 1:54 pm
Hello.
I've recently edited a couple of documents of good chunks using Mellel 4.
In doing that, I found some things could be more user-friendly or give more leeway to the user.
First, customised numbering unit in Auto-Title.
Melle 4 supports 10 kinds of numbering unit at the moment. My suggestion is to allow users to type in and save their own numbering unit, for that most numbering units are latin language-related characters, which are not so useful for non-latin language users.
If I can type in and save my korean numbering units to choose them in a drop-down menu for my own use, rather than those being provided as a factory setting, it would be more helpful to me.
Second, footnote in the middle of Auto-Title.
If there is a footnote in the Auto-Title, footnote texts come up in the Auto-Title. Not footnote reference symbols.
I tried not to insert footnotes in headings, but sometimes it is inevitable.
Third, display of contents with the same style.
I read similar complaints about this, maybe in this forum. That is, you don't know which part will be replaced until you actually replace styles. Yet you still don't know that when you are editing an up to 1,000 page-document as I did.
It will be a great time-saving feature that you can jump to that page when you select a certain style in a replace styles window.
Lastly, insert mention in page style edit window.
I don't know if this is a bug in my Mellel. I cannot insert mention in page style editing window. I can only do that in an actual page, clicking a header. And then I see some things like #???# in the header in page style editing window.
Mentions are correctly shown in the pages, though.
Anyway I had to repeat to apply it to other page ranges, because inserting a mention in an actual page affects only the page range where you insert it.
Actually there are some more I wish for, but the above features would be very useful.
Best Wishes.
