Mellel 2.0.2 Review - Mellel 2.0.2 Download Mellel is one of the leading word processors for Mac OS X, with a special focus on scholars, writers, technical writing and multilingual word processing. Mellel is intended for those people who want as much control as possible over their text, without any of the fancy gizmos and gadgets. I will note that while Mellel is a writer orientated program, it does not completely ignore the visual aspect of documents, giving you many options and features that, despite not being as easy to use in some cases, and much easier to use in others, will eventually yield the same results as other programs. www.softpedia.com /reviews/mac/Mellel-Review-14171.shtml   (995 words)

Mellel 2.2 adds better citation support - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) Mellel was originally designed to work with Hebrew (and other right to left languages) which have traditionally been under-supported in word processing programs. Mellel can be a useful tool for producing extremely polished final documents, but I've found that you really do have to spend some time with the software (particularly if you're coming from Word) in order to make the best use of it. Mellel sells for $49 (though an education license is available for $34.99) and a 30 day demo is available. www.tuaw.com /2007/03/21/mellel-2-2-adds-better-citation-support   (1319 words)

Mellel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mellel (מלל, the Hebrew for "text") is a word processor for Mac OS X, purported to be especially suited for technical and academic writers. Mellel's way of handling styles is easier to use and more intuitive than those in mainstream word processors. Mellel has a unique way to handle footnotes, endnotes and comments; they are treated as different streams of a single text which can also help to keep different translations of the same text in sync. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mellel   (233 words)

therandymon.com - Mellel: a fresh look at word processing Mellel’s interface is sleek, simple, and built in the gorgeous and responsive Cocoa environment (Word is built in Carbon, whose fonts are not as clear and whose interface is a bit less responsive). Mellel even offers Kashida spacing algorithms for better typography in Arabic scripts (Kashida is a technique in which the tails of Arabic characters are lengthened to properly justify a line of text) and complete vowel diacritical tools for Hebrew, both of which are unique to Mellel, as far as I can tell. Mellel takes advantage of many of the tools that makes OS X a treat to use: sharp graphics, quick load time, and lots of OS X system-wide services, like automatic spell checking, document format translation (Mellel reads Word docs very well, for example), native PDF export capability, and more. therandymon.com /content/view/105/79   (1928 words)

Mellel 2.2.7.1 - MacUpdate Mellel is the leading word processor for Mac OS X, with a special focus on writers, scholars, technical writing and multilingual word processing. I do not see why they cannot simply add a preference feature to allow documents to be saved in their current format. Mellel, in combination with Bookends for the bibliography, are the best things that helped me in writing my dissertation. www.macupdate.com /info.php/id/8712   (442 words)

The Northern Spy by Rick Sutcliffe Mellel, from Tel Aviv based RedleX (www.redlers.com) is a relatively recent (Jan 2002) low-cost (currently $19, to be $25; specials on quantities) word processor that is currently in active development with numerous essential features already implemented and more on the way. To cite a couple of instances, Mellel ignores Apple's lack of support for right-to-left text display, and just does it anyway, thus the developer is able to claim this product is the only one offering Hebrew word processing on OS X. NisusWriter offers it in the original classic version, but not yet in Express. One tends to have several layers of indenting, colour coding and/or bold to mark reserved words, etc. The indenting problem virtually forces one to use blockquote tags to get a correct display, though within that there would still be character styles to mark reserved words, say. www.thenorthernspy.com /spyJun2003.htm   (2503 words)

VersionTracker   (Site not responding. Last check: ) My claim was merely that Mellel is a great tool for academic writing in the humanities, not that it was suitable for every kind of academic publishing. Mellel chose to serve the academic sub-market for writing in the humanities, which was (and is) an underserved market. Mellel is a pleasure to work with, and the Bookends integration is very well done. versiontracker.com /users/dr_hfk   (840 words)

Literature and Latte :: View topic - Using Scrivener, Mellel, and Bookends as an academic suite   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The problem with this -- and with Scrivener to Mellel, from my experience -- has been formatting of footnotes and the footnote and reference numbers when references are meant to be footnoted (and not inline). When I use the normal Scrivener RTF export, the footnotes do get placed correctly; but there is no way (that I can see) to replace the styles globally for the footnote and reference numbers, as there is for the main text and even the footnote text. Theoretically (check the Mellel tutorial) the app should be able to change the style of a passage based on certain "tags". www.literatureandlatte.com /forum/viewtopic.php?t=1055&highlight=mellel   (1630 words)

eXtensions: OSX and Writing Applications (Mellel) Among them was a new word processor, the oddly-named Mellel, that almost slipped through the net. Mellel, the new kid, is a word processor written by a Tel Aviv company, Redlex. Mellel can be downloaded (5.9MB) for a test, but pages printed will have a watermark included. www.extensions.in.th /post/ooffice2/mellel.html   (797 words)

Mellel Mellel uses auto-numbering to control the formatting both in the document and in the table of contents as well as what information you want the auto-numbering to contain. The biggest advantage Mellel has is its support for languages and unicode, especially those that write from right to left (such as Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic). Mellel is being constantly updated, and the upcoming 1.8 version will have support for outlines as well as a new font technology which means more languages will be supported. www.applelinks.com /index.php/print/2097   (842 words)

Spymac.com :: Features :: State of Shareware on the Mac: Part III   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Redler's Mellel is a multilingual word processor designed for scholars and writers offering innovative page, paragraph, and character styles, tables, headers and footers, citations and bibliography, and tabs. Mellel recently did an extensive survey of its users and found that 22% of the participants "chose Mellel because they simply cannot or will not use Microsoft products." That large percentage of the market is left open for word processors like Mellel or Z-Write to jump in and provide users with what they need. Mellel just celebrated 2 years as a shareware product with sales during that time exceeding company expectations. www.spymac.com /news/article.php?contentid=633   (661 words)

IT: Instructional Technology: Mellel Holiday Sale   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mellel is perhaps best described as a "scholarly" word processer, though that doesn't quite do it justice. But though Mellel departs in some ways from the usual word processor metaphors, for instance end notes and foot notes are thought of as inhabiting "streams," but it includes all the standard things you really need in a word processor, and incredible foreign language support, including Hebrew, Chines, Japanese, Arabic, and everybody's favorite, Etruscan. Mellel is feature rich, but not feature burdened; it's worth taking a look at if you're interested in writing and not fiddling with a word processor. www.digitalmedievalist.com /it/archive/000249.html   (257 words)

MacResearchSW - Reviews Well, sure, styles have been around forever and can be found in any major word processor, but whereas it takes an average Word user three years to understand and make use of styles, Mellel is basically built on them and the program will only make sense to you if you use them properly. If you want to send your piece to a journal to publish, then you might face the small but possible risk that your final document will not look like it did in Mellel, or at least that your precious styles definitions will be gone in Word, making further editing a pain in the backside. I kind of like it, the outline panel is great and it features magnetic palettes which you can stick together, but for some strange reason the developers never changed the main toolbar which sits on top of each window and shows a rather arbitrary collection of available tools. www.macresearchsw.com /reviews/mellel/index.html   (684 words)

deinde :: Discussion and news for biblical scholars   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mellel is designed for paper writing, and specially equipped to handle large documents, especially book/dissertation writing, etc. Mellel allows you to create short-cut keys for paragraph formatting, fonts, etc., which is highly preferable to scrolling through Microsoft Word's fonts, and switching back and forth between single-spacing and double-spacing, etc. Fourth, Mellel can open.doc files and export to Word format as well, which means I am not struggling to assimilate with the rest of the world. www.deinde.org /phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=190   (1092 words)

Word processing   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mellel is an excellent, true-Cocoa word processor with an interesting set of features. Mellel is the only word processor that offers the option to create multiple sequences of footnotes and endnotes concurrently. For now, Mellel, for a fraction of the price, has more features (tables, footnotes, endnotes, right to left writing, etc.) and very well implemented. www.macscience.net /wordprocessing/wordprocessing.html   (707 words)

Bookends and Mellel The Mellel word processor is "Bookends-aware", meaning that it can communicate with Bookends to manage citations and bibliographies. You can enter a temporary citation into a Mellel document by clicking on the Copy Citation button, choosing the Copy Selected menu item when the Hits window is in front, or dragging and dropping the reference(s) you want to cite from the Hits window. Mellel stores the reference information for each citation, which lets you sync your Bookends reference database with collaborators with whom you share the document. www.sonnysoftware.com /mellelandbookends.html   (497 words)

academhack » Blog Archive » Saving as .rtf Mellel is designed precisely for the kinds of elaborate, extended documents that RTF can’t easily handle. Mellel and Nisus use formats that are far less universal and far less sharable than MSWord. Mellel’s next release will build on XML format, which means this will solve all your problems as the code will be easily readable. academhack.outsidethetext.com /home/?p=22   (1489 words)

SurfBits, Home of the Mac Reviews » Blog Archive » Mellel Does It’s Best To Help You Forget MS Word When I first thought about Mellel II ($49 for the regular license) I had to stop and remember the last time that I didn’t use MS Word. I have used Mellel II for a couple of weeks now and I can’t say that I have missed Word at all, nor have I found any difficulties in using Mellel on a day to day basis. Mellel provide a great comparison chart between the various options that they compete against, and their web site has superb forums and support. www.surfbits.com /?p=724   (1114 words)

archive0306   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Mellel's big claim to fame is its support for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew, but it's a very full-featured word processor at a very reasonable price ($24.99), and seems to be constantly updated with new features (nine updates in just the last year...). And Mellel is fast -- it opened my test document (a Word-created RTF file of over 200 hundred pages) faster than Word, and unlike my experience with Nisus, it had no trouble keeping up with my typing anywhere in that long document. When I wrote a double-spaced proper-manuscript-form document in Mellel and exported it as RTF and opened it in Word, the same thing happened: the file was single-spaced, some line indents were wrong, and the headers were missing. www.farrellworlds.com /archive0306.html   (6076 words)

TidBITS: Mellel 2.0 Ships Mellel 2.0 Ships -- The Israeli company RedleX has released Mellel 2.0, a significant upgrade to their word processor with a slew of new features aimed largely at working with long and complex documents. Mellel 2.0 now supports sections and columns, includes extensive hyphenation dictionaries, does a better job of importing and exporting RTF to and from Mellel's proprietary file format, controls widows and orphans, and offers a Keep with Next option. Mellel 2.0 costs $50; upgrades for registered users are free and a free trial version is available as a 13.4 MB download. db.tidbits.com /getbits.acgi?tbart=08322   (168 words)

Welcome to The Mac Night Owl   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Their goal is "to make Mellel truly the word processor for the rest of us: to look at things with a fresh eye, avoid pre-assumptions and always concentrate on what we can do, never on what others already did (or, put differently: think 'outside the box' but never look at the MS Office box)." Now there are, to be frank, some resemblances between Mellel and Word, since both use floating palettes for basic document and text formatting. It would be nice, however, to see Mellel support the feature directly and maybe even do something to translate Word's Track Changes feature, a staple for many writers. www.macnightowl.com /newsletters/2003/05/180.htm   (1369 words)

Is Mellel Compatible? - Linguisoft Forum This means that whenever a copy-to-clipboard is executed in Mellel, Mellel does not copy document styles to the clipboard. Again the reason is that Mellel never exported these styles to the clipboard, and so Mellel will also not paste them back into the document. I am using the latest version of both Mellel and Grammarian Pro and notice that since I upgraded to Mellel 2 Grammarian has stopped finding errors, I am getting very vew suggestion popups, in short, it is almost like Grammarian is not open (which it is!). linguisoft.com /forums/showthread.php?t=25   (651 words)

Applelinks - The MACINTOSH Portal! Mellel introduces two completely new kinds of tabs which completely change the tab feature’s usability and ease of use and in addition, saves an enormous amount of time and effort. The Mellel document window area is divided into a print area (printable) framed by the print margin, and the page margins (non-printable). Live changes are by their nature slower compared with non-live changes (i.e., when changes are applied only after you release the mouse button), but they make tabs much more useful when you have to make very delicate adjustment (for example, when adjusting tab with a lead for tables of contents). www.applelinks.com /mooresviews/mellel.shtml   (3960 words)

TidBITS - Discussing Mellel Mellel piqued my interest though it missed out on a particular feature (columns), but with a turn of phrase like this, one just have to have a second look. Mellel also has the ability to compose text in foreign languages. Mellel seems to have a lot of happy users and is developing quickly. www.tidbits.com /webx?14@11.Q32dbOFTroC@.3c4a10e7/2   (1415 words)
