Okay, I wondered if format support would ocme into it. Still, from what I hear, any file formatted in one program will likely not be formatted correctly in another, so I don't see this as specific to Textedit. Headers and footers are things I never use, but I can see how lack of support would be limiting to other users. When using vo, is there a command equivalent to ins-f, to read formatting? I use that command to check centering, font, and other attributes.
