Despite its popularity, Word for the Mac has lots of problems, including the semi-frequent crash, annoying dialogue boxes, and high memory consumption. Appleworks, Apple’s older word processor, has been essentially left to dry on the pre-OS X vine in lieu of Pages, Apple’s OS X offering (and part of the iworks suite). Several word processors are available for the Macintosh, but none is more common than Microsoft Word, which is completely compatible with the Windows version. But a friend with a Mac introduced me to a word processor that caught my interest immediately: Mellel, and when I switched from Linux to the Mac, Mellel became my word processor of choice for research and technical papers. change the writing direction to Right-to-Left and type some sentences.I first bumped into Mellel when I was a graduate student ploughing through a degree in development economics, using StarOffice on SUSE Linux 9.0. now, switch your keyboard to Hebrew and type in some sentences. using the Main Font Palette, select a regular Apple font that you don't normally use, say Helvetica open a new file and leave everything at the default settings Also possible, but far less likely, is corruption in the fonts. about your Mellel problem: it's beginning to sound more and more like bug and/or corruption in the file. ![]() this should automatically set Format/Alignment/Align RightĢ. in Mail, click Format/Alignment/Writing Direction/Right to Left if you are using Mail, you can get Hebrew to work more or less correctly by changing the alignment.

Now, what do you mean "the problem was there" in the binding direction? Could you change it? What happened after you changed it? rename the new style, edit it, and save it click on REGULAR COPY under the paragraph list This shouldn't be a problem, but if you like, you can make a new paragraph style called REGULAR HEBREW which is Right-to-Left. These will have the tpying direction set to Left-to-Right. REGULAR and REGULAR Copy sound like default Mellel paragraph styles. Yes, but the paragraph style does not indicate a direction.
