Incompatible markers and comments

Select some text, assign it a marker and then add a comment to this text. The result is, the color of the marker disappears and instead we are left with a yellowish color which has slight red, blue, green, etc., elements in it, depending on the color of the underlying marker. In other words, comment...

Re: Export comments to Word

Is it possible to export a document from Mellel 5.1 to Word .docx and have its comments visible in Word? I can confirm that this doesn't seem to be possible, no comments are exported when I do it. the exported Word document's page numbering is slightly 'out of sync' with the original Mellel. […] I ...

About new and old Mellel templates

Every time I update Mellel the Templates folder is shaken up. Now all my custom templates also appear under "All" as Default category. They shouldn't be there. How can I fix this? Or is this a new bug? I know the Custom Templates are in Application Support > Mellel 5 > Templates, but I can...

Re: Paragraphs breaking

What else should I check for? Dear Declan, Try to copy the whole document and paste the content into a new fresh document. Is the new document OK or is it still flawed? Check this out: http://forum.mellel.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1908&p=11708&hilit=culprit#p11708 If this doesn't help, up...

I'm afraid I don't understand. Do you mean 150 x 150 mm?
Please post a screenshot.

Re: Custom Page Size - Totally Confused

1. File > Page Setup… 2. Then, from the Paper Size drop-down menu, choose "Manage Custom Sizes…". 3. Create a new 6x9 paper size by clicking on the + sign, and for the Paper Size enter the correct width and height. The numbers you need to enter here may depend on the measurement units (met...

Re: PDF to Hebrew -Success

Thanks for sharing i2PDF. It's free, and thus better for casual use than File Juicer. Just for the record : I took a closeer look at File Juicer. I had it installed on my machine, but I almost never need it. I created a PDF in Hebrew and threw it at File Juicer which quickly converted it into a docx...

Re: PDF to Mellel - Hebrew

Try the shareware File Juicer . I guess they have a demo which should be enough for you to convert the PDF to a .rtf. Not sure whether you can convert the PDF to a .docx Then you import the .rtf / .docx into Mellel. You should be able to import the text, but I don't know about the formatting… https:...

Re: Shortcut to insert note

The second option requires that you type the command exactly as it appears in the Mellel menu, for example, "Footnote" and not "Footnotes". You are right, some shortcuts are not accepted, perhaps because they are already taken or will override some system shortcuts…, who knows. I...
