Importing unicode from Accordance
Some (perhaps many) of you may—like me—use Oaktree Software's program Accordance for research in biblical studies. That program allows you to copy Hebrew text in unicode transliteration and use it in other applications. Beginning in Mellel 2.8.1 I have found that the unicode for at least some charac...

Moderators, how did this posting get through? You're supposed to act as a gateway to keep ads out of this forum.

Re: Feature request: hyperlinks to external files
I'm sure there are other features that one could add after the composition phase is complete, by exporting to PDF. But this is hardly a solution to my problem. I am engaged in writing a book manuscript. As I proceed, I need to be able to insert the hyperlinks and have them function as I continue wit...

Comparing two Mellel docs
In composing a long book-length project, I save versions about once every two weeks and rename the current version. This allows me preserve older versions of chapters that I changed, so that if later I wish to revert in the current version to what I had discarded but which is still in the archived o...

Fature request: Run-in format for successive short notes
When an author needs to make a series of short footnotes, it conserves space and looks nicer, if (s)he has the option of selecting a format for the notes that does not begin each new note on a separate line. If I'm not mistaken about the terminology, this is called a "run-in" format. 1. Te...

Re: Bibliography pane
Because of the double listing of the same works if one has "-" prefixed, and because the abbreviated listing is too ambiguous, and because that palette pane is too small to show enough items, I never use the bibliography palette. It is much easier just to invoke Bookends, search its databa...

Re: Cross reference that shows auto title numbering
I don't understand the abbreviated explanation of verma. Can you be fuller in explaining to a beginner like me, or at least tell me the section or page in the User Guide? Thanks.

Thanks, Nick. I think your preferences are mine as well. And thanks to others for their input as well.

Re: Feature request: hyperlinks to external files
I'm not sure if the "you" in the question refers to me, or if it just means "one". I certainly do not need to concern myself with how the Redlers handle these complicated issues. As an end user I am concerned only with the availability of a desired feature and its proper function...

Re: Feature request: set paragraph background color
This procedure has (at least) two problems. The least serious is the same old aesthetic one: the background color covers only the vertical area around the characters, not the "leading"; so that there is an unsightly white horizontal area between lines. More serious is the problem that char...

Feature request: hyperlinks to external files
I often need to establish a hyperlink inside a document to either an Internet web site/page or to another document on my hard drive. This can be done in MS Word, but not in Mellel. The hyperlink to the Internet page can also be done in Nisus. I would love to have this capability in Mellel.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Feature request: set paragraph background color
donb: Sorry I didn't check back here sooner to reply to your desire to be helpful with my problem. The marker does not produce color background for the entire paragraph, only for the individual lines, leaving unsightly white areas throughout the paragraph. That is the aesthetic objection. Practicall...

Re: Feature request: set paragraph background color
I would like to second this request for the feature of paragraph background color. I like to use it in editing long documents, where I need to be able to spot quickly the sections of a particular type when I quickly scroll through the text.

noncontiguous selections
Pardon me if I have somehow missed this feature in the current version. But in my writing I often need to make multiple noncontiguous selections. This can be done in MS Word and Nisus, but not—if I am right—in Mellel. I like Mellel very much and hate not to be able to use it more, because it seems t...
