Re: Outlining in Mellel, revisited
You betcha, happy to help. My outline styles are simplistic and you won't offend me in the least if you find better ways to outline. I'd like to learn. By the way, sharing a template illustrates some of the power of Mellel's styles and why I crave them. My Outline template used a global style set. T...

Re: Typing in Style Names
That sounds like a nice convenience feature, one more way to keep the fingers on the keyboard.
This could also be done with hotkeys. Character style variations are already accessible with function keys. Accessing a style or auto-title by hotkey would be an idea, too.

Re: Import word into Mellel 6
Interesting. I use Mellel as the default for docx files and haven't noted any trouble. In fact, Mellel does a better job with some documents than Nisus. Do you know what format the images were in? Pretty much anything should work, but there may be variants that cause trouble. Or, linked versus embed...

Re: How to add a column in a table (Mellel Mobile)
If you right click on a table, you'll get a pop-up context menu including add row/column before/after the current position. That's probably the best way. You can also use "edit table attributes" from that same pop-up menu to adjust a number of parameters, including number of rows and colum...

Outlining in Mellel, revisited
I revisited a Mellel outlining technique today and thought I would share. My favorite outlining style is more like text-based storyboarding than a Harvard hierarchy. Notes on virtual index cards. I made an Outline style set with two levels of Auto-title. One Auto-title is called Topic, the other one...

Re: Mellel 6.0.7 Text Color / Background BUG
What happens if you select a larger character sequence and clear the marker? For instance, if you have word2 marked with vermillion in "word1 word2 word3", what happens if you highlight/select "1 word2 w" and either select None for the highlight, or select any color and then sele...

Re: Sequencing Footnotes in iOS
I can't find where you set that in Mellel Mobile. On the Mac, when to restart the note numbering is an option in the note style. You can choose to restart every page, every section, every page range (spans between page style breaks), or continuous numbering throughout the document. It sounds like &q...

Re: macOS text replacements
Same here - the MacOS text substitutions aren't recognized. I suspect Mellel may read the keyboard at a lower level than the characters we intend to type. It may read individual key codes, which may be required for its multi-language support. Keyboard Maestro is a nice compliment to many application...

Re: how do I add page numbers?
Forgot to add - I can't recreate your color problem, although I do see it's easy to click on the color well/button in the character attributes panel and select a color without the color changing. The giveaway there is clicking on the color button in the palette needs to highlight it. If the button d...

Re: how do I add page numbers?
Page style breaks are where one page style starts and another starts. I couldn't think of any other reason you had more than one page style. But wait - there is another possibility. If you were editing the first page's footer and if the page style in use called for a different first page in the rang...

Re: how do I add page numbers?
It sounds like you have a page style break or two in your document. All pages between page style breaks will have the same page style, and that should include headers, footers, and the style elements in them. I bet this isn't hard to solve. You might turn on View->Show hidden->Page style breaks. If ...

Re: Mellel Mobile Premium Subscription
Mellel uses a proprietary file format. I caution anyone who would become subject to proprietary dependencies with small applications. I share your reluctance to trust proprietary storage. For my use, Mellel gets a free pass on this one. If you peek, Mellel's file format is not very proprietary. It ...

Re: Mellel Mobile Released
Mellel's subscription plan is pretty gentle. If you stop paying, you can still use the app and all your documents are available to Mellel on your Mac. Besides, word processors are magic things. During the workday, mine is a springboard for my career. At lunch it calls out fraud and makes strong legi...

Re: Join Mellel for iPad beta
The new Mellel ended up beside the TestFlight icon. Moving the new one to its own home screen would be another idea.
