ORI REDLER  Could you write to us about this? We'll do our best to find out why this is happening and fix it.   
(Version 2.7.1)

ORI REDLER  The problems you report are solved with Mellel 2.6.2 and Mellel 2.7. The problems continue to occur when you have Mellel installed beforehand (with the "bad" version) and still have the old Mellel preference and the Mellel folder in your Application support. This is what you need to do:

A. Write down your registration details (from Mellel, choose Mellel (menu) > Registration code). Quit Mellel.Ê

B. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ and remove the fileÊcom.redlex.mellel.plist

C. Go to ~/Library/Application support/ and remove the Mellel folder there.Ê

D. Run Mellel again.Ê

The problems should cease and will not occur with new files or files that you did not save with the "bad" version.Ê

Regards,Ê

ORI REDLER  Hi, This is Ori from RedleX. We did not receive reports of this kind, so if you could send us the crash report, we'll probably be able to solve the problem.

ORI REDLER  Hello whytoi, Gradus and Anonymous,

We are currently (i.e., right now) working on a version of Mellel that will fully support RTF export and import and hope to release it in the very near future.

We're very much aware to the justified concern on your part from "investing" in yet another dead-end propriety format. To alleviate this concern, we also plan to provide in the near future the option to save Mellel's files in XML format, which is a non-propriety, open and modern format.

Using XML will assure you:

A. Access to the text in the document (the document will essentially contain the plain text of the document with tags).

B. Open and easy way to any third party product to open and save those files.   
(Version 1.7)

ORI REDLER  Gradus,

I fully understand how you feel and I'm not going to argue with you because I think you're right: a good RTF export option is an essential option for interoperability.

I can assure you (and others) that this stands VERY high on our priorities list and will be completed very soon (and I'm not talking about two years, a year or even half a year. RTF will be good and ready much sooner than that).
