Re: Setting the language for the spell-check

Thanks for the "thought-provoking". I gather that language is a character attribute, but the choice of making it so continues to seem incomprehensible to me. Maybe it covers something outside my normal use of Mellel, I don't know. I would like to add the following points: 1- the user still...

Setting the language for the spell-check

It is my understanding that at present there are two ways of setting the language to be used for the spell-check. 1. by selecting the option to "synchronize language and keyboard" in the preferences 2. by manually selecting any chunk of text and assigning a language through the character t...

Re: spell checking not working

As I wrote elsewhere: I think I've got what the problem is, at least in my case. For some reason, Mellel stopped assigning a language in the "character" (or is it "font" in english?) tab (the one with the T anyway). That apparently disable spell checking. If I re-assign a languag...

Re: Spell Catcher and Mellel

I am experiencing the same problem, spell checker (not the separate program, the spell check included with mellel) does not work at all with the last version (3.01b2, with 10.7.4 in my case).
I did contact redlers through the form, but haven't received an answer yet.

Re: restarting citation formats each chapter

It is a chore, but considering you should do it only when the final document is ready for presentation, is bearable – barely. I don't create documents with citations, but considering the complexity of your workaround, I wonder it it would't be easier to leave the document as a single file. Then, be...

Re: restarting citation formats each chapter

The only way to do this, as far as I know, is to split the document in chapters, then run the bibliography formatter for each chapter, and then copying-paste them together again. If you need a bibliography at the end of the whole work, before doing the splitting you should run the formatting on the ...

Re: Chapter Word Count

It would be useful to have a way to know the word count per auto-title level. Meanwhile, I use a "shortcut". If you hit delete while selecting a title in the outline, all the text under that title is deleted. If you then do cmd+z (undo), the text is restored and automatically selected, and...

Re: Choppy deletion

I had not had specific problems with deletion, but 2.9 and 2.9.1 feel definetely heavier and less "snappy" than previous versions (I have a 2010 15" macbook pro, i5, 4gb, with Lion installed)

disappearing page styles

I have experienced what it seems to be a bug with Mellel 2.9 and/or 2.9.1 In fact, some of my defined page styles do appear when I am working in certain documents, and disappear in others. This seems to be limited to styles created after installing version 2.9. That is to say, "old" (befor...

Re: Space between running header and text

I have not figured what is the detail that trigger the mis-visualisation. However, I noticed that I was wrong, there are cases in which the problem shows and others in which it does not, so it may depends (or not) from the way the header is inserted, as previously conjectured. But when the problem i...

Re: Space between running header and text

I have experienced the same problem, and it shows both in print, pdf and within mellel itself.
Also, it does not seem to matter what is in the header or how is it inserted, the problem shows anyway.

Re: Full-screen mode

Am I the only one who would like a page layout view in full screen mode (and please, scrap the background uniformity with the color of the page!)? To me the full screen is to avoid distractions... but from other programs and in general the background operating system, not from mellel's functions. I ...
