I'll admit I haven't become very familiar with the Find dialogue, mainly because it feels like I'd have to learn regular expressions, but I can't seem to find a way to select all instances of a particular paragraph style. I would like to do this so I can change all instances of a paragraph style to ...

Sorry it didn't work, Nimbus. Glad Ori has it noted as a possible bug.

Hi Nimbus, Try this. While the cursor is located in the body of your document, go to the drop down menu Insert > Note > Edit note attributes… Make sure that your preferred character style is listed for *both* 'Reference symbol' (the one in the text) and 'Note symbol' (the number that leads the footn...

Thanks, Ozean. That's a clever hack.

I'd like to perform a count of all words in my document that aren't references. Is this possible? Since references are understood by Mellel to be references, because I haven't entered them myself but have used Bookends, is there a way of filtering them out of a total doc word count? (My dissertation...

Hi Juddbert, No, it doesn't work. I should have been more explicit about that. And there's no shortcut listed next to the item in the menu either. If I could get that shortcut to work, that would be something, although I struggle to press all four keys with one hand (hence the initial attempted chan...

I've mentioned this before ( http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1831&p=12084 ), but it's driving me crazy, so I need to ask if there's some other way. There doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut I can find for Paste Special > Plain Text. Is there a default that's not listed in the...

I'm getting a problem just with character styles (support email sent).

When I press the shortcut, nothing happens the first time (no beep or anything else) and then the char. style is applied on the second press.

Para styles seem to apply on the first press.

Thanks, Ori. Good man.

Hi Andy,

TextExpander works fine in Mellel on Snow Leopard.

You're right, suavito. It was a problem with the fonts, and my question about whether this would be dealt with in 2.7 was premature.

Thanks to those who've been very helpful on this.

Thanks for the information on what's happening, Ori. Much appreciated.

Honestly, guys. As if there aren't significant problems with Mellel that don't have anything to do with the system upgrade. Keyboard shortcuts, footnotes and section breaks, the save-undo fiasco. If I waited until there weren't any issues, I wouldn't be using Mellel. And for the record, things like ...

Holy rusted metal!

It worked, Patrick! Big kiss for you, my friend.

Thanks, Patrick. That's very helpful.

I'm trying all of those things, having upgraded and experiences some issues (although not crashes at this point - thank God).

I'm in the middle of writing my dissertation, so I really want this to work!
