Re: Import word into Mellel 6
I repeated the experiment this morning with the same results. Starting point: 10 year old Word document in .odcxwith dozens of graphics and lots of equations. When imported into Mellel, nearly everything came through fine, but perhaps 10-20% of the figures came through with just question marks. Also...

Re: Import word into Mellel 6
Correction. I can go through Pages as noted, saving me a lot of manual work.

Re: Import word into Mellel 6
I had the same experience. I importaed a .docx file. The figures came through as boxes with question marks. If instead I imported the .docx file into Pages and then exported to .docx, and then imported that file to Mellel, the figures came through. This would seem to be a fixable bug. It's an import...

Typing in Style Names
I should know, but...Is there a way to apply a style by, e.g., selecting the passage, typing something (like CMD S), and then typing one's name for the style in question, such as Normal? Similarly, applying auto-titles?

Re: MathMagic and Mellel
Once MathMagic proved adequate to my needs, I plunged forward. I vaguely recall having tried Equation Maker and finding something to complain about. I didn't want to get into the LaTeX world, although that may be due to tubbornness on my part.

Re: Join Mellel for iPad beta
Is there a user manual or tutorial for the new Mellel on iPad beta? It's been some years since I played with the previous iPad versions of Mellel or Bookends, so I'm having trouble with basics (other than opening an existing document). Also, my intuition for using these apps on iOS is poor since I o...

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...
