document that opens in 2.9.1 but not later versions

Post by Andrew Lister »

I have a document - a book manuscript! - that will open in 2.9.1 but not later versions of Mellel. I had been away from the project from a couple of months and in the meantime updated Mellel, and when I came back to it, the document consistently crashed the program; it would just hang up. I could open other documents, even some older ones, but not the manuscript - none of the many versions of it I have saved. I managed to open the manuscript by reinstalling 2.9.1, and using that version of Mellel. Has anyone else had trouble like this? Any thoughts about what i should do, how I might get the document into Mellel 3.0? The 2.9.1 version of Mellel doesn't seem to be working with Bookends, although it always used to, but I haven't had time to fully investigate that.

(I did download the update, 3.0.1, but that didn't solve the problem).

This sounds very much like an issue that the Redlers should look at, I would recommend sending them a copy of the file. (If it is too big to mail it and you don't have a dropbox account or a server you can upload it to, then the Redlers will surely find an alternative for you.) At least I would want to be ensured that similar things do not happen with my old files – so please contact them about this! :)

Hi again,

I sent the file to : redlex@redlers.com. Is that right? As I haven't heard back yet, I just want to confirm someone is or will be looking into it.

Thanks,

Andrew
