I have come across a very peculiar event: I have made a 36 page table (catalog) with Mellel, saved it as a pdf, and then used BookLightning to make it into a...
Hi Don, I've encountered this myself. I'm not sure where the problem lies here. I think that the fact that BookLighting is not updated (I think it is still...
... It is a booklet-generating utility from Meta Objects (makers of PDF Compress). You drop a PDF file on it, and it automatically lays the pages out for...
... Well, just in case you are looking for it on the Net, it's BookLightning, not BookLighting. Paolo...

Hello, Mellel saves automatically, when configured in the preferences, after the time you placed, only in already saved files. I wish mellel could auto saves...
From those of us who originally grew up in the Windows world, (or even used Office on a Mac, for that matter) we're used to naming and saving our docs before...
I have grown for the last eleven years on Mac. And, on all the word processors I used these years, from Rav Ktav to WorldWrite and NW, This feature existed, so...
... You don't have to name a new document in Office any more to work on it--but it's a good idea if you do name it. I've always considered "Name It First" to...
Hello- I downloaded Mellel last night for a trial. I played with it for an hour before I figured out how to indent without indenting the entire paragraph, it...
Hi Shawn, ... The trial period is 30 days but it is not enforced by expiration of the software (That is, Mellel will not stop working after 30 days). Note that...
OK.....Im practicing with Mellel and I can't figure out the reason for the bibliography. Unless I'm just using it wrong, it doesn't seem to use the correct...
Ok.......another hour of trial. These are the problems or differences as I see them. When you indent a new paragraph all the lines that follow will indent ...
Hi Shawn, ... I am guessing that you are pressing the Tab key when you start to write the paragraph and your problems begin there. The little tab marks you see...
Ori- Thank you very much. I understood everything except the the Bibliography explanation. I may have to break down and read the guide. That's usually may last...
... Hi, You really need to look at the guide. The bibliography feature is meant to work with our application, Bookends. Bookends imports, stores, formats, etc....

Shawn has explained his confusion over the default indent tab. He is a new user to Mellel, willing to spend hours of frustrating effort to try to make things...
... I don't know, I can only offer my perspective, but I find Mellel's approach much more logical and sensible, probably because I have always used desktop...

... We chose to put several intend tabs in the default paragraph style because we wanted: a. To allow people to created nested lists more easily. b. Make...
IIRC, Mellel ships out of the dmg with the default page style set to include a number of indent tabs. I think many of us who have been using Mellel for some...
Hi Derek, There are two main reasons why we've opted to use the default styles we currently use: A. Trial and error: on many occasions we offer a certain...
