If you’re using Auto-Titles for your titles, you're probably 90 percent set-up, but the ToC control gives you additional features to set some aspects of the export appearance, including the inclusion and positioning of the ePub table of contents using the spine control. Mellel will generate a table of contents for your ePUB publication based on the Auto-Titles in the text. You also can set the publication ID, language and direction. Mellel gives you control over the essential metadata for your ePUB including Title, Author and Category.

Mellel offers great control over the details of publishing, including the structure of the document, metadata, font and image control, and more.

Virtually any feature in Mellel that can be exported is exported to this format, and the formatting should look very-very similar, with some small exceptions resulting from differences in the ways which Mellel and MSWord render text. This format is an open format used by many word-processors but in particular MS-Word (which is not surprising since Microsoft(tm) originated it). But times they are a changing and Elvis have certainly left the auditorium so we came up with export support DOCX format.

Nisus Writer Pro fitted that until my file size got too large. But, after about nine years of writing my diary, it takes more than three minutes to reopen it.Īs a genealogist and diary writer I’m looking for a functional, easy and inexpensive one–time purchase word processor. ![]() I found the new Pro version, however, very easy to use with simple formatting of two things I use often: ease in changing the header between “chapters”, and ease in formatting a hanging paragraph.
