Re: Intermin solutions for working with .mellel docs in ProWritingAid
I have a large Mellel document (80,000+ words) that I hope to check with ProWritingAid before finalizing it. This requires a $50 yearly subscription fee. ProWritingAid Free edits only 500 words at a time and is online only. It's also limited to 19 Writing Reports, which I'm not sure what means. Doe...

Re: footnote format request and another
My another request is for Randnummer, which is widely used in German legal literature. That is different from paragraph numbers. Do these numbers always have to be on the right margin, like here on the picture? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randnummer Are you trying to achieve something like this? ...

Feature request: Highlight the Auto-title in a document when selecting it in the Outline
If you click on an Auto-title in the *Outline*, you will be taken to a part in the document where that Auto-title is. However, contrary to what Nisus Writer Pro does, the Auto-title in Mellel is NOT highlighted (or flashed for an instant). This makes it often hard to quickly spot the exact location,...

Re: List formatting not working
If I try to change the appearance of the list using the attribute pane in the palette… If you are talking about the attributes pane in the list's palette, then clicking on the frame next to the encircled T reveals a sort of a drop-down pane. Changing settings in that pane will only affect the list ...

Re: Print and/or export structure with notes?
Is there any way to export the structure along with the notes? I wholeheartedly support this very important feature request. Being able to export and print the remarks would be a big boon for all Mellel users. This should definitely be implemented. Right now, I can't think of anything else than to ...

Re: footnotes from doc in 4.1.1
Same here. [v4.1]I have just installed the update 4.1.1 and then imported a file in .doc. All footnotes were lost as notes and appeared after the text without links.

Re: synchronizing styles?
There is no Library visible in my home folder Yes, it has been hidden for well over 6 years now, since Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), I think. The easiest way to access the folder is to 1. copy the folder path I gave you 2. Click on the Desktop in order to select the Finder 3. Choose "Go to Folder…"...

Re: Importing to Mellel. docx etc.
First, I assume by "suprascript"you mean superscript. Second, superscript characters, both digits and letters, are now converted correctly from .docx to Mellel 4. Third, you are right when you say that Small Caps are not displayed correctly after import from .docx. Any suggestions? If poss...

Re: No page number on first page of each chapter
Actually, I have two page styles in my document: one is for the front matter with pagination in Roman numerals, the second is for the body of the text, with pagination in Arabic numerals. If you have two page styles, then I assume you want the first page of the first chapter to start with the Arabi...

Re: No page number on first page of each chapter
Assuming your document has only one Page style, open the Page palette and click on the Attributes tab. Deselect "Start at:"joseph_anton wrote: ↑Sun Mar 25, 2018 3:59 pm Is there something I am missing here? Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.
This should enable continuous numbering throughout the chapters.

Re: No page number on first page of each chapter
Is there any easy way to tell Mellel not to show a page number on the first page of each chapter? Yes. 1. Open your Page style from the Page palette and tick the "Different first page" box in the lower left corner. Then 2. Insert "Page style break" from Insert -> Breaks after ea...

Re: comments in DOCX files
Is it currently possible to show comments in imported DOCX files? No. Only Word documents saved in Rich Text Format retain the comments. Documents saved as .doc show the comments as inline tex at the end of the document (not as comments though.) Tested with Word v16.11.1, Mellel 4.1. on macOS 10.12.6

Re: Export Outline to PDF
This is not related to external/internal disk. I thought it was part of those recent PDFkit bugs in macOS 10.12 that, among other things, have affected Bookends. See for example the penultimate post from Jon here: https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4259 If the saving path ...

Re: Export Outline to PDF
This happens when you export to an external disk.
If you export to your Desktop and make sure all export options are enabled in the upcoming dialog, then the outline is exported correctly. No need to additionally create a TOC.
