Not possible, but would be a very good addition.

Re: Any replacement for SC that will work with Mellel?

I have been having this problem since Mountain Lion came out (see another thread on this topic). SC works so well and is part of our daily work in all other apps, but not Mellel. It is frustrating.

Unfortunately I have not found a comparable replacement.

Re: Mellel 3.1

I second this request to make the zoom independent of the template. There are too many variables and needs to constrain it like this.

Sorry to hear that. He was always helpful and an encourager on the Mellel forums. Many thanks, Don. And blessings and comfort to his family.

Re: spell checking not working

Unfortunately it is still not working here: 10.8.2, Mellel 3.0.2, English. I also use Hebrew and Greek.

As soon as I quit Mellel, the preferences in the Language tab go back to nothing chosen for language on the left and “none” for each of the selections on the right.

Re: How to restart page numbering?

The restart page numbering begins with a new section break. Once you have the section break, then in the Page palette, click on the Attributes. Just above Margins and orientation, there is a check box to start page numbering, and then to the right you can enter the number.

Re: Spell Catcher and Mellel

I had finally gotten Spell Catcher to work well with SL and Lion, but when the developer died nothing was done by anyone else.

Aside from Mellel, SC still works fine for me.

Re: No response from two support (two tries)

Just a thought, could their email filter see the email address (screenplayhouse.com) as junk? Not intentional, but a possibility.

Re: lodging a complaint (Mellel too complicated!)

Not sure either. I guess having used styles sets in Mellel for years I don’t think too much about that anymore. I have what I need for each project. But I would like to see cascading style sheets. For instance with Character Styles, change the font of one style and all styles built on that would cha...

Horizontal lines on screen

Since moving to ML and Mellel 3, often I see lines on the screen. If I scroll up or down, then they disappear. But they regularly appear as I am adding new text.

Here is a sample Screen lines

Re: Spell Catcher and Mellel

I agree Bulow, that the basic spell checker in Mellel does not work properly. If I have “check spelling as you type” then the word is highlighted, but the window never shows up (as it indicates in the manual). If I wait to check at the end of the writing, then the misspelled words are highlighted in...

Re: Spell Catcher and Mellel

Looking at the rainmaker web site, it looks there will no longer be any development, since its creator, Evan Gross, died at the end of June.

Spell Catcher and Mellel

I have the latest version of Mellel and 10.8. Everything worked fine with spell checking until this last upgrade. No, no matter what I do, Spell Catcher is not signally any errors. I intentionally misspell some to see if it works. I had not changed either program in terms of preferences, etc. Is the...
