I needed a bribe to get going with an old master thesis that never materializes. I bought the set of Mellel and Bookends. It really feels nice to pay for software. Bookends seems though a bit complex for my needs which makes it more difficult to use. Got a shock when the manual was over 200 pages. Would be glad with o short beginners guide to get going. Last night i was fighting to define how a student thesis (may be its called paper in english, must check when i come home) reference should look like in the preferences. Did not make that out. But I will continue trying. For me the interface is not the easiest. I guess it suites people how want to have total contol and can understand how to make it happen as they want. For me is to make work easier not worse.
Please do that. The User Guide (what you have) is a reference that provides lots of details about that app. It's not really meant to be read "cover to cover", but used to get detailed information about a particular topic. The tutorial is a narrative that will walk you through many of the functions and features of Bookends.
