Hello group, I am a new user of Mellel. I like a lot about this program but am still learning its idiosyncrasies. One thing I am having trouble with is the ...
Hi John, ... Welcome. ... You're interpreting this correctly. You can however, do a sort of work around on this. If you have a document with unique styles and...

One wonders: Now, a month later, is the planned release date of 1.8 still "Soon. Very Soon"? So it could be another month? A couple of months? I understand...
hi, i am also wondering what "soon" means. the mellel 1.8 banner on versiontracker seams a bit displaced at the moment. OTH there is so much to do to make...
Hello, You're not the only one who is wondering what's happening and who is waiting for Mellel version 1.8. I have to admit that the ad in Versiontracker is...
... One (step on the) way to make Mellel a "word-killer" would be to give it a parsable, published file format (XML?). FrameMaker is used by many companies for...

Hello, ... Nope, I think it's pretty 'soon'. Beta-testers are currently beta-testing so it must be some time 'soon'. And I get no shares in Redlers (ie I'm not...

Two (brief) thoughts: (1) I agree with Magnus that Mellel need not, should not, become a Word-killer in the sense of becoming another Word. File format...

... Yes, it's true. 1.8 is rolling along in beta testing now. :-D That's all I'm going to say! ... All I need, myself, in the area of DTP functionality, is...
Hi, All those quirks and restart-solved-the-problem events seem to indicate that somewhere in the forest of interdependencies of the system there are things...
Hi Don, We wrote "[1] Improved Typography: When using OpenType fonts, Mellel now supports options like automatic kerning, fractions, superior/inferior text,...
Hi Don, Several strange things you write about: ... No it isn't -- OpenType is just the name of the pop-up menu. That's a special type of pop-up menu that...
... Inconceivable! :-) ... I format our guide in PDF. I feel your pain, trust me. ... Aren't global styles just the thing for this? You change the style once,...
Hi Shuki, If you make this permanent, you'll be getting the same problem, only in reverse (with Hebrew and punctuation). I suggest using a style variation with...
... This is interesting. I think some of examples you give should NEVER happen whether you select or not the related options. If they do, it is either OT not...
A little off topic but I figured if I want to know about Mellel I'd be better off asking here. So I am switching from hell(pc) to salvation(mac) I'm just...
... I couldn't agree more. One of Mellel's major weaknesses is that is has a proprietary file format. If Mellel went fully XML compliant, that would make it...
To Brent Austin¹s question: I have both Mellel and MarinerWrite  I love them both, use them both frequently. MarinerWrite is perfect for relatively simple...

... There's nothing in Mellel that I consider to be overkill for writing academic papers (keep in perspective that I used FrameMaker before Mellel :) ). For...
Sorry to be condescending but the reason for the question is because I'm a student with less monetary resources than many others and I wouldlike to make a...
... I'll echo Trevor's comments; I use Mellel to write papers for graduate school and find it to be an excellent writing tool. After taking the time initially...
Yeah, I'm a Criminal Justice major so not so much on the symbols for me. Pretty much all I need is Times New Roman 12, headers, footers, basic 8.5x11 page...
... If it is any help Brent, I have tried all of these and settled (very gratefully) on Mellel. As it is, not as it promises to be which I view as a potential...
