Boris’s old workaround should still work as well. I think it's time we make it clear what we are actually talking about. Generally speaking, endnotes can be found in two places: at the end of a document or at the end of chapters. Mellel can position endnotes at the end of a document, but not at the...

Otherwise, I won't be able to use Mellel for my book. In the thread "Facing a new decade" Eyal (the developer) mentioned "flexible positioning of bibliography and end notes" as one of Mellel's objectives for the future; so he is at least aware of the problem. <http://forum.melle...

I'd be very grateful for a suggestion, if this has been addressed somewhere A suggestion was given 14 years ago in this very same thread by loquat149 (Dave). The solution seems to be to cut and paste the bibliography to the desired location. The drawback is, if you update the citations, be it that ...

I'm torn between rtf and xml as the format for styled documents It's only recently that Mellel can export in .docx format. My recent (irregular, spontaneous, and unsystematic) tests have shown that export from Mellel in .docx format is now more reliable than .rtf, especially when it comes to preser...

I only wish that I had made pdfs of all the Word documents that I wrote back in the 1980s and 1990s Paul, have you tried using LibreOffice to convert your old Word documents? On several occasions I have described here in this forum how I was able to convert all my old Word 5 documents with LibreOff...

Oops, it seems CAUBRY already left the forum 1 year ago.

Maybe Vaissiere can answer the question instead…?

is there a simple and quick way to index all the words of a text? As far as I can see, no. However, you can do this automatically in Nisus. The program generates a word list and/or frequency list, and you can index your file in one fell swoop based on the word list. Before you insert the index, you...

Dear CAUBRY et al,

Any update on this matter? Did you contact support? And what did they say?

Your last post was 1 year ago.

hitting OK no longer seems to deliver the citation into the Mellel document as it once did. Make sure Bookends is allowed to talk to Mellel. See the fourth last post in this thread: https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4864&p=22050 Scroll down to the fourth last post and...

This feature still doesn't exist ? I think the developer has made it clear that this feature will be implemented on Sankt Nimmerleinstag , as the Germans use to say (no, I'm not German.) Mellel is the only major word processor today that doesn't offer non-contiguous selection, and apparently – base...

We have success!! You see… that's what I meant! Since we all use the same program (Mellel) it's easy to send a file to another member of the forum for inspection. If a picture is worth a thousand words, an original document is worth two thousand words, if I may use that expression. With Messages.ap...

Yes, this is getting silly: involving the entire Forum in the process Well, not really. The discussion has revealed some fundamental truth: 1. Here we have a user who has written 200 pages in Mellel without obviously ever taking the time to read the Mellel Guide. No wonder that he encounters proble...

Eventually, I fixed the situation directly in the exported document in Word, by selecting all the footnotes there. So you left the problem in Mellel unresolved… Just "selecting all the footnotes there" won't fix anything. Therefore, please be so kind and share more details with us about w...

General remarks about adding character styles to a paragraph style Unlike Nisus, where adding character styles to a paragraph style never leads to problems, Mellel is different. Rule 1 If you want to add character styles in Mellel to a text with a paragraph style and want to make the character styl...

1. Go back to the point in time before you started meddling with the Note attributes and all words with the Small Caps character style were visible in your notes. 2. To begin with, make sure you have a character style called "Note text". Select it by clicking ONLY once on it in the charact...
