Hi Desi, Just to add to Zack's explanation, there's a TextEdit keyboard shortcut, Command+Shift+T, that lets you switch between rich text format and plain text format. It's a toggle action, so if you're using rich text format you'll be able to change to plain text, and if you're using plain text format you can change to rich text.
