I’m partial to Emacs, with Emacspeak of course, and Org-mode. Just write your file, ** Make headings
** make a list like this: - Unordered list item 1. Ordered item - Italics is made like /this/. - Bold is made like *this*. You can also just write Latex in it, and it’ll come out exported as Latex would be in that format. After you’re done, you can just export the file as HTML, ODT, Plain Text, or Markdown. Then, if you need to, you can use Pandoc to convert the ODT file to Word format or RTF, I assume Pandoc should support RTF. Using Org-mode, or even Markdown, allows you to really control the formatting of a document, and Emacspeak helps by changing pitch and entonation to call attention to formatting, along with the symbols you use for denoting formatting. > On Apr 28, 2019, at 10:33 AM, 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries > <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > Sandi, > Yes TextEdit is fine until you send a sighted Windows user a text document > then you will hear about it.
