Re: Placement of footnote separator

Nope, that's not it. Insert>note>attributes shows a separator that is a black line. Other suggestions are most welcome. Wait wait wait. Now I have a separator and I do not know what I did. Obviously did something in insert>note>attributes. THANKS.

Re: Placement of footnote separator

I love Mellel but for some reason cannot find the separator for footnotes. I'm writing a legal brief and honestly it looks bad, because the footnotes are not separated from the body of the brief. There is NO separator at all.

Re: Deletes whole paragraphs

Paying more attention, I see that it happens when I simply click. I will follow your suggestion to slow down my mouse. THANKS.

Darn, when that happens I have to move it greater distances to get around the screen. I'll keep experimenting based on that theory, though.

Deletes whole paragraphs

I don't keep my eye on the document all the time; I often am transcribing material from other documents. I find that when I make a slight change, e.g., add a diacritical mark - Mellel highlights large portions of text, and when I continue they are deleted. I have to watch it now like a hawk. The bri...

Re: Mellel Lite?

They USED to reply. Yes, I tried to contact them and no, they did not reply. Have I looked at Console... I'll do that.

Re: Mellel Lite?

I installed Mellel Lite on my MacBook with OS 10.6.8. It won't open. Has anyone had this experience? Can't get help from reflex. Darned if I'm going to try buying another one.

Re: Footnotes will be the end of me

My problem is that the footnote reference in the body of the document is NOT superscripted. I must manually change each fn reference in the body to superscript. It's easy to overlook when the footnote comes after a number. Can anyone tell me how to change note references in the body to superscript? ...

Re: 2.9.1 Margins and Line Spacing

Go to "Page" in the pallet. Click on Margins & Orientations, and change the margins. It's annoying to have to do this for every document. I'm gradually changing my templates. Also for envelopes that are templates, it is necessary to go to the same place to change to landscape. You can'...

Re: 2.9.1 Margins and Line Spacing

Since upgrading to 2.9.1. I have had a series of small problems. This week it is spacing. I'll hit return and Mellel will jump a half-page or a page. I'm working on a medical summary where I constantly insert paragraphs to create a chronological order from records that are not chronological. This se...

Large blank areas on page

I have to file a brief in federal court today and am at my wits' end how to close up blank spaces on the page. This occurs when I have a long series of footnotes. Perhaps the footnotes "think" they have to stay together. Ideas?

Re: Keep lines together in footnotes does not work

Opposite problem, I think. I have long footnotes. Wind up with too much whitespace in the body of the document. I can't get the notes to split. I've checked the box "split from reference" but nothing.

I want my footnotes to split and go onto the next page; how do I do that?

Re: Changing font in footnotes

I love to be able to footnote prolifically without crashing the document and having to rebuild from scratch. So I am sticking with Mellel. And I have figured out how to change the font of the footnote, noted below. But I have not figured out how to change the font of the arabic number for the footno...
