I've been recently using Word + Zotero (standalone app) and it has been fine (but not awesome - if there is such a thing!?) I only research in Greek and Coptic so the lack of RTL support is not an issue for me (I used Mellel in seminary for Hebrew). Random thoughts on a subject I've wrestled a lot with: In my brief encounters with the other two, I found that they don't do anything significantly different or better than Zotero, so I have never felt the need to spend the extra money on either of them. It also imports bibliographic information and files from internet databases and websites (like EBSCOhost/ATLA) quite painlessly and accurately. The biggest advantage it has over Bookends or Sente is that it's free. I have tried Mellel on a few different occasions and it has always felt a bit idiosyncratic to me.Īs for bibliographic software, I use Zotero and also highly recommend it.

I use Nisus Writer Pro as well and highly recommend it, especially if, as James has already said, you will be working with Hebrew or any other semitic languages.

I can't think of anything I can't do to a PDF that Acrobat does not do.Īgain, I really appreciate the input and still welcome more discussion! Edited Apby Rick Yentzer However, I'm holding out to see if a new iWork is in the works for a possible summer release.įor the present time, the majority of my work will be on a Macbook Pro so it appears that both Sente and Bookends are fine.Įdit: I wanted to note that for PDF's I have Acrobat Pro as part of the graphics suite. Although I wish Apple's education pricing was more aggressively discounted.Īs for the Office suite, it's advantages are that it's heavily discounted and more widely used, the latter minimizing concerns of compatibility. Pages and iWork in general interest me for the more general tasks and I like the idea of using Keynote as opposed to Powerpoint to layout presentations for teaching. I may be thinking wrongly about this, but why not have a general text doc file format such as rtf, or doc? If I need to open the file on another persons computer for a quick error correction, how likely is it that they will also have Mellel? I will look into Nisus Writer Pro. One other thing I disliked was mellel's proprietary file extension. I currently own Mellel and it seems fine, although the interface is indeed 'idiosyncratic'. There is going to be the need for RTL languages, with Hebrew initially.

I had some personal preferences but I didn't want to specify in order to hear from others their own. I really appreciate everyone's thoughtful input as this field of interest is relatively new to me.
