Vertical ruler

Post by Nifty »

Having just upgraded to M4, (early days to comment on anything else, I need to finish writing something that I was using M3 for,) I am disappointed to find there is still no vertical ruler. Surely it wouldn't too much to expect a v/r?

After all, if the aspiration is for Mellel to be one's only word processor (and why not?) those of us that write letters and need the positioning of our/your ref, the recipient's name and address, 'Dear x' and the 're' to be spot on, particularly when using window envelopes, to be expected to position without a vertical ruler means, at least in my case, Mellel is no good for simple letter writing.

Having said that I suppose I could position everything in the top margin underneath the date but that is inflexible. For example:

Friday, 25 August 2017

My ref: xxx
Your ref: aaa


A Nifty
Nifty Towers
100 Nifty Road
London
AB1 AB1

Any suggestions please on how to do that using Mellel 4?

You might want to have a look at this. I've found it pretty useful over time.
