I wonder if someone has made the move from Word to Mellel in a situation where the Word document contains citations generated with BE?
After importing the Word doc (or better, the RTF doc to keep footnotes) does Mellel automatically recognize the citations as BE citations. Or is migration a bit more complicated here
You can unscan the document in Word so that the curly bracketted temporary citations are visible. After getting the paper into Mellel, there is a button (in the Bibliography Palette) that will convert text to Mellel citations -- the default is to convert any text in curly brackets to a citation, but there are other options, too.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but how have people who regularly exchange .doc files with other people managed to make the move from Word to Mellel given Mellel's problematic import and export of .doc and .rtf? And what about all their preexisting files in Word format?
Thanks everyone, i figured out how to do this and it is not too dificult indeed.

Currently the only option is to exchange via RTF (which i think is very unfortunate and something that stops many people from making the change).
