I don't know if there is something I have missed in this, but I still did not see that Pages does multilingual spellchecking in the sense that it can identify the language of a text and spellcheck it correctly without being told specifically which language it is dealing with -- much the same as Mel...

3. The program Pages does not allow for choosing a particular language dictionary and does not have the "Automatic by Language" feature. It appears, as far as I can tell, to assume that the primary language chosen for the System is intended to be the language of the document. However, thi...

It would be great to know if the improved Bookends support is really the only change in the code or if the Redlers have addressed any other issues… Ori? Eyal?

Sorry to ask this, but just to be on the safe side: is Bookends running? I only know this behavior when Bookends is not running – so if it is on, then it seems that Mellel does not see that this is the fact. As a first measure, I would try a restart and then turning off and re-activating the links b...

What part of that text is the actual citation/source reference? I do not discern anything in that passage that would be related to the (pretty straightforward) bibliography entry that you entered.

Great to hear! For me, getting the hang of these things was the main step to using Mellel with pleasure

True, tab/margin management could definitely be made more user friendly. (Compare for example the constant troubles caused by the difficult setup of tabs for a table of content.)

Are you using a different character style or are you changing the format ad-hoc (for example through the main font palette)?

place a reverse tab in the ruler at the far right this is one of the trickiest parts – because if you set the reverse tab just a tiny bit to far to the right, things won’t work anymore. A fix for this behaviour has been requested quite often, but the Redlers haven’t confirmed this as a bug as far a...

Very strange indeed! No problems here. (Mellel 2.7.2 build 3, OS 10.6.2, MacBook Pro 2,2)

Not as such. But you can assign center alignment to a paragraph style, then assign a keyboard shortcut to that paragraph style and then you’re set

(In Mellel, it is usually better to use styles to format stuff than to do ad-hoc formatting.)

:( I know that this can be really frustrating. But if you need consistent formatting while keeping the ability to edit the document (that is, if you rule out using PDFs), there is only one solution: all parties have to use the exact same software. There has been a test with a relatively low-tech sta...

Strangely enough, you can set these kinds of breaks – but only in the Auto-Style options, not with paragraph styles. I guess I would expect this option to be part of a paragraph style? Or are there any good reasons why this option would be part of Auto-Styles rather than paragraph styles?

I seem to recall that at some point Mellel updated how it handles paragraph spacing. The "default" (from the big W, of course) is that inter-paragraph spacing defines the requested offset between paragraphs, rather than defining some absolute amount of whitespace to add before and after e...

1. Create a "heading" style with underlined Times New Roman, 11pt size, and single line spacing. 2. Create a "body text" style with Times New Roman, 11pt size, and double line spacing. 3. Write one line in the "heading" style, press enter, and then write a paragraph in...
