Re: Search for long phrases

Thanks a lot for your answers. Yes, after many mistakes, I thought to the "negated" feature and it worked. I am happy to see that I was not the only one to solve the problem

Search for long phrases

Dear all although I am not Proust, I am asked by my editor to cut my long French phrases so that they are not more than 4 lines long. However I am puzzled how to find these long phrases (and only them) using Mellel's search engine. Basically I should search something like "all set of characters...

bugs and suggestion with indexing and Search

Dear all I have 2 remarks with the indexing 1. Under some circonstances,it breaks the Search and replace feature: it you select a whole word and then mark it as an index mark, then all is fine. BUT you can also mark words if your cursor is within the word (without selecting the whole word). If you m...

Re: Mellel index references not exportable?

An update. It seems that I was mistaken, according to the answer of Eyal in a different post: Mellel Index marks are exported to docx

Re: Indexing based on a word-list

Dear Eyal thanks for your answer. It might be useful to be able to create the index records in Mellel and to be able to export them. That is, if in my text I have marked "Samarcande" as an indexed word in the whole text in Mellel, after the file is exported it should be seen as { XE "...

Mellel index references not exportable?

A side question to my question on indexing based on a word-list: I have tried to index a few words in my mellel file, then export the file to -docx -rtf in both case the index references were lost when I tried to open these files with word. Am I right in saying that creating an index in Mellel is a ...

Indexing based on a word-list

Dear all Is there any tool in Mellel allowing to create an index based on the word list? It is an extremely convenient feature of Word. It is very rough and there is a lot of work after that of cleansing etc., but my 700 pages book was indexed this way in a few seconds after exporting the text to Wo...

Re: Page style

Thanks for the answers, and sorry for the slip: yes I meant lower right corner. But my problem is indeed there. In this "edit styles ->edit page styles" page the upper big part (with the possibility to change the margins, etc.) is in landscape while simultaneously, on this very page, the c...

Re: Images, Tables and Figures with Subtitle or caption

Actually, I do not think that this trick answers the question: if you move the image the caption will not follow. We need an actual "anchor" between the image and the caption.

Margins of images

Dear all

it would be fine if we could choose a side margin for the inserted images. Currently you can only choose a space below. Quite often, the image seems to be too close to the lateral text if one chooses to insert it within the text

Re: La traduction en français

Hello Icelander long ago I wrote a MbA on the Irish monks, St Brendan and others, and their travels to Iceland… No, it's because Mellel works basically quite fine for my needs now (I waited a loooong time for the index) so that I do not fell the urge to connect often But my proposal is still there… ...

Re: La traduction en français

Bonjour

non je n'ai eu aucunes nouvelles. Mais je suis toujours en version 4.2.7 donc peut-être qu'il y a eu des progrès depuis ?


Hi! No news but I am still using Mellel 4.2.7 so there might have been some improvements since it was released
