Sub-par DOCX Export Prevents Fifth Star

I love writing in Ulysses. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is not there yet. Which means that I have to export to DOCX when it is time to share with co-workers. And this turns out to be much more laborious than it ought to be because Ulysses does not export styles correctly. Instead of defining Word’s document styles according the definitions in Ulysses style sheets, Ulysses applies paragraph- and character-level formatting to the contents of documents exported to DOCX. This means that I have to go through and manually update all the styles to reflect the formatting that I already specified in my Ulysses style sheet after exporting to DOCX. I’ve been asking the good people at Soulmen to fix this for a very long time and was hopeful when the release notes for the latest update referred to improved DOCX support, but the same old limitation is still there. When and if this ever gets fixed, Ulysses will receive its fifth star from this reviewer.
