When I’m editing documents, I often need to implement the same changes – get rid of double words, redundant spaces, make sure no sentences end in certain words and so forth. Well, for me doing the same thing over and over again expecting the same result is kind of insane as well. And Again.Īlbert Einstein once said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. I must admit it was hard to kick this old habit but totally worth it.ĥ. If I need to change something, I simply change the style, and the rest of my document follows. Truth is, I could have used them with MS Word too - but with Mellel they actually work. With Mellel, I can use styles as they were intended to use: to save time formatting text. That’s fine if you’re writing a short note, and is OK for a five-page-long document. And so paragraph by paragraph, page by page… All were copied and brushed. I used to style one paragraph to look sort of OK, then copy the attributes with the brush, and past it over. In my golden MS Word days, I used to use the Style’s Brush all the time. The style brush forces you to manually paint every corner of the document.
And even if you decided to split your work, there’s no problem: you can set everything to ‘unite’ automatically when you re-combine the document, and you can easily apply the same styles.Ĥ. It’s a nightmare for cross-references, bookmarks, citations, footnotes, and just about everything else you need to refer. Every editing decision needs to be implemented many times over many documents - and sometimes it simply can’t.
