Re: Wishlist for version 2.6

Most urgent: Indexing (1), Marginalia (10), proper handling of images and text-wrap (15)

Next most urgent: refine many of the existing features (endnotes, footnotes, etc.)

No, I don't suppose so either. We have something much bigger and much more important cooking for 2.6, which is now on the drawing table.

Re: invisisble character: direction breaking space

I use English as main, but Hebrew, Greek, German, and Latin, so this would be helpful.

Re: Em dash and ellipsis

Just a quick addendum: the ellipsis on a US keyboard with Leopard is alt+: (alt and the colon button), producing "…" but without the quote marks (obviously). Thanks for the post, though; I had no idea that a keyboard shortcut existed for the ellipsis till seeing this and experimenting! Te...

Re: Cannot attach to email

Yes, you need to decompress them. If you down load and double-click the file, it should automatically decompress.

Re: We don't need no stinking page numbers!!!!!!!!!

Same basic program from what I understand. NeoOffice is based on Java and OpenOffice is Aqua. But i am probably least qualified to go beyond this. ;) :D

Re: We don't need no stinking page numbers!!!!!!!!!

Both NeoOffice and OpenOffice are "free", but they do accept donations.

Yes, OpenOffice saves as default to .odt

Mellel 3.0?

Well, okay, I know we are supposed to get 2.5 "soon". But I purchased a new MBP 15" matte screen, and it arrives Wednesday. I just thought it would be good to load the MBP with Mellel 3.0. :lol: :mrgreen:

Please don't deny an old man his dream. :D

Re: Book manuscript: Single File or Separate for Chapters?

I should point out that in my case, there were no cross-references and no footnotes in the book. So that wasn't a problem for me.

Re: Book manuscript: Single File or Separate for Chapters?

About 18 months ago I finished a book, to the point of PDFs sent to the printer (all B&W); he used Windows for his production work. I kept each chapter separate from writing stage through page layout and PDF production, then I joined the PDFs into one file using PDFLab. Worked without a hitch. I...

Re: IMPOySSIBLE CONVERSION

I think that neither Word 2004 nor 2008 support true RTL formatting. So, I think your only option might be NeoOffice.
