Re: MathMagic and Mellel

I bought MathMagic Personal (Education) for $49. I can "Copy as PDF" and paste to move a MM equation into Mellel. I can use copy and paste to move the equation back to MM for editing. So, that's a biggie. 2. The equation's baseline is wrong but can be adjusted upward by editing the Mellel ...

Re: MathMagic and Mellel

I missed the "Personal Edition," which is $59.00. Sorry for the misinformation originally. I'll test the Personal Edition within a day or two.

MathMagic and Mellel

The Mellel Guide now has a sentence saying that one can copy and paste equations from Mellel back into MathMagic for editing. It doesn't say what version of MathMagic. The Lite version is freee. The advanced versions are hundreds of dollars, and are intended for users of InDesign. I tried MathMagic ...

Re: Location of Endnotes amd bibliographies

Icelander, yes, I'm getting old and sometimes forget things. However, I remembered posting the issue of chapter endnotes "years ago" and hoped that the matter had been addressed. After all, Mellel has had a lot of major imprvements in the last decade. Unfortunately, that seems not to be th...

Location of Endnotes amd bibliographies

Is it possible to specify that endnotes appear at the end of a section, page range, or some other unit corresponding to a book chapter, and that the numbering of said endnotes restarts thereafter?

Similarly, is it possible--using Bookends--to have separate bibliographies chapter by chapter?

Re: Why do people ask questions and then never bother to read the answer(s)?

Icelander, I don't know the answer to your question, but I've certainly benefited from your suggestions on the forum. I've tried to pass along my own suggestions now and then, seldom with any feedback. I agree, that we'd benefit from a more active forum.

Re: MathType and Catalina

So far, I've not found a good work flow using Word 365 with its MathType add-in as intermediates. This process works and the add-in provides adequate functionality, although it is still crummy software at this point, but the process for me is tedious, Perhaps others have figured out how to do it smo...

Re: Looking for your input regarding Mellel's Factory templates

The set of templates should prioritize being useful to Mellel users. My sense, which might be quite wrong, is that the focus should be on "serious" writers who prepare technical and nontechnical books and reports, including dissertations, and journal articles. If so, then I would look to w...

Re: MathType and Catalina: the New Add-In and Editing Old Equations

This is an update as of June 26, 2021 on using MathType via Office 365 and Big Sur. It may soon become outdated. I updated my iMac to Big Sur, opened Word, added the new MathType add-in, wrote some equations, and copied/pasted to Mellel. I had to adjust vertical position by 1 point to make things lo...

Re: MathType and Catalina

I tested copying to Mellel a MathType equation from the new Microsoft Word 365 Add-in. If added in-line with text, the result is offset by a couple of points, which can be adjusted by recognizing the the equation is a picture, editing the picture (pencil icon), and changing position downward. In my ...

Re: Exporting Mellel doc with footnotes, page numbers to Word

I have exported a number of 100-page complex documents to Word successfully, including tables with colored cells, figures, footnotes, endnotes, and cross references. I had a few puzzlers along the way, but nothing profound. It would be good for those of us who have done so to collect tips for others...

Re: MathType and Catalina

David, my current analysis is as follows: 1. If I am being practical , then --using Word 365 to create or edit equations for Mellel will be relatively painless for me since I have Office 365 anyway --to edit pre-existing MathType equations, the only solution I know of is to create a virtual machine ...

Re: MathType and Catalina

Wiris has announced its MathType "solution" for Mac Users. It will depend on using Word 365. They say that MathType 8 for Catalina/Big Sur will not happen "in the foreseeable future" because they see the way ahead for MathType as being embedded as an Add-in or Add-on. No editing ...

Also, I suggest allowing note streams attached to individual tables and figures.
