Today we released a minor update to Vellum that contains the following fixes:

• A recent Amazon update for Kindles changed the way that text wrapped around floating images. This update to Vellum restores the desired formatting.
• The context menu in Vellum’s Text Editor now displays possible spelling corrections for the selected text.
• Alignment Blocks now work in all elements, even Copyright and Dedication.
• Fixed bug where sometimes images wouldn’t be copied to the clipboard.

Vellum 1.2.3 requires OS X 10.9 (or newer) and is a free update. It is available now for users of the Direct version of Vellum, and has been submitted to the Mac App Store for approval.

If you don’t already have it, you can download Vellum from 180g.co or from the Mac App Store.

Update 2/16: Vellum 1.2.3 is now available from the Mac App Store as well.

We’re excited to announce Vellum 1.2.2, the most major minor update yet! It includes the following, much-requested features:

Alignment Blocks allow you to center selected blocks of text, or render them flush left or right.

More authors are telling us that they have chosen to write entirely in Vellum. Our new Export feature makes it easy to use the text of your book in other applications – like Microsoft Word, Pages, and others – if necessary.

In addition, we’ve added a bunch of fixes and other small improvements, including:

• The appearance of a book’s title page and chapter headings has been improved when viewed in Amazon’s Look Inside
• Images used within an iBooks file can now contain up to 4 million pixels
• Long sections of Verse no longer cause a large expanse of blank space
• Chapter headings better adapt to the iPhone 6
• The value for “Display Heading in Book” is now saved correctly
• Inline images are now included when printing a manuscript

Vellum 1.2.2 requires OS X 10.9 (or newer) and is a free update, available now.

If you don’t already have it, you can download Vellum from 180g.co or from the Mac App Store.

Enjoy!
