[QUOTE="shades, post: 121573, member: 4773"] [url=http://www.redlers.com/index.html]Mellel[/url] is the best of the word processors. Yes, I use Word 2004 for some tasks, but Mellel has it beat in key areas: 1. Only word processor that properly handles RTL languages. What a joy to actually type Hebrew RTL without having to reverse spelling as in other programs! 2. Unique but powerful styles 3. Multiple flows, so that you can have 1, 2, 3 or more footnote systems running through the document. 4. Auto-numbering is very powerful. 5. Beginning with vers. 2.0, it will be XML based format (due to be released this summer). 6. Excellent integration with Bookends (you can buy them as twin pack). -------- Still needs: 1. More powerful Find/Replace (if it had old Nisus Writer's GREP, that would be great). 2. Better integration with Word documents. If Word were consistent, then RTF would be sufficient. The problem is that many want to use Word as substitute page layout program, and add drawings, etc. 3. Better photo/graphics handling ability, although 1.9.1 has made significant progress. ----------- Best: $39 US for a three year license! Or $59 US for a five-pack! [/QUOTE]
