![]() ![]() ![]() I've been curious about Mellel for some time, and I'm a longtime user of MS Word. I use Antidote daily across a variety of programs. If I haven't mentioned this before, Mellel is now compatible with Antidote, which is a much less expensive alternative to Grammarly. What Mellel calls outline view is really a view of all of the many structural elements in your document: not just headings and subheadings, but also charts, equations, figures, pictures, tables. 1, and I remember reading early on that the Redlers wanted to rethink the word processor from the ground up, not necessarily giving into conventions of what had been done before. If it merely duplicated Word, what would be the point? I have been using it off and on since v. I agree that Mellel is easier to use than it used to be, but it admittedly has a learning curve for the uninitiated. The creator of Bookends told me he's never seen such interconnectivity between software as there is between Mellel and Bookends. I think if you've got Mellel + Bookends, you've got everything Nota Bene offers in a much better interface without legacy code going back to the 80s. I still have MS Word but mainly just use it to open documents sent to me in emails-not that Mellel couldn't do that, too. Even if I'm making a few quick notes, I usually turn to Mellel. Mellel has also become my primary word processor over the years. Scrivener for larger papers I need to plan out, Ulysses for smaller papers, blog posts, etc.Ī few thoughts to the recent comments above. I still use Scrivener and Ulysses in my toolbox as well. I have never upgraded my Mellel because my original reason for purchasing your program was to have an uncluttered word processor. They’re just not up-to-par with what I need. My copy of Mellel is: Version 2.1.1 (build 3) I recently upgraded my Mac to Snow Leopard - Version 10.6.2. I tried NeoOffice and LibreOffice in the past but dropped them. I started using it during my brief time on Windows, and I’m already too pulled into their ecosystem to change to something else for academic writings. I’m still using Nota Bene for my academic word processor. I got so used to only using Pages for that back in the early days that I never have adapted to it as a full-fledged word processor. I keep Pages around primarily for page layout stuff (when I need a “nice looking” document). I’ll keep NWP around for working with RTF docs. Fixed an issue that would cause Mellel to reject a user name when activating Mellel if the user name is copied along with a terminating CR or LF Fixed an issue that caused 'diamond' styles to appear in the paragraph and character style lists following working with edit Auto-title flows sheet or even switching between apps. I’ll probably promote Mellel into that position, especially due to the iPad syncing feature. I was using Nisus Writer Pro as my “everyday” word processor. ![]() Otherwise, I try to avoid Word as much as possible. I keep a perpertual-license copy of Word around (although I believe my work offers me the Microsoft 365 version free now) just to check compatibility with other Word users before sending them a doc. ![]()
