I downloaded Mellel today to give it a try. Unfortunately the developers of this program decided to include an annoying pop-up window that reminds you constantly that you're trying their software and that you haven't paid for it yet. I don't know about the team behind Mellel, but when I'm writing the last thing I need is a useless window popping-up with a dumb message every few minutes or so. Of course I know I'm evaluating this program, of course I haven't paid for it yet, and of course I'm going to lose some of its features if I don't buy it... That's the whole point of giving the user a FREE TRIAL PERIOD, or isn't? So, after a few VERY UNPLEASANT encounters with this "friendly" reminder I completely lost my concentration, selected was I was writing, copied it and paste it back onto MS Word, quit Mellel and threw it in the trash. So, your trial period was completely useless and an absurd waste of time for you and me. You might as well get rid of it all together, since it doesn't allow the user to test your program. It acts more like a mindless commercial for your product, but if that's what you're looking for, you'd be better off paying some little money to and add agency which might be able to help you out instead of using this CHEAP TRICK. Good luck with Mellel, but this extremely dissatisfied customer is not coming back.

If you actually write, like say with words, then this is what you want. There seems to have been a mass confusion over the last decade or so as to what a tool designed for that purpose should include and what should be left out. Well, let's ponder the subject for a moment. Do I use a paint brush to write a novel? I suppose I could, if I were crazy like Picasso and wanted to write in really square letters. Do I want to publish a newspaper? Only in my spare time, after all, I do have square letters to paint. Do I want to produce content of the literary sort for publication or display in the Smithsonian in 150 years because I became president and my letters are worth a small fortune even though I mostly wrote about my mistress's annoying cats? Yep, that's how I roll.
Writing is about words. Printing out those words in a properly formatted for publication, or otherwise useful, format is what word processors of old were designed to do. And it just so happens to be what Mellel is designed to do.
I use it for everything that involves words. From letters and notes, to fiction and lyric writing.
Mellel is fast, and spurs productivity. And it is precisely what it claims to be.
