Re: Word processor?
Hi, It depends a lot on what you want to do. Notes is mostly just for short notes. It’s syncs with your i-devices, so is great for keeping track of things like books people mention, grocery lists, etc. Pages is a full-blown word-processor much like Word. It will give you all the capabilities you would find in Word. I also use Text Edit a lot for files that either only require simple formatting or are just for my use. It’s very simple to use, and great if you are just working with a text file that doesn’t have a lot of complicated formatting, use of tables, etc. Lastly, there is also Office 365 for Mac. I don’t use it because it requires a subscription, but if you don’t mind that, I’ve heard good things. Any of the above choices are fine, depending on what your needs are. If you need a lot of complex formatting, or if you share Word files regularly with others, than Pages or Office 365 are your best bet. For simpler tasks, Text Edit Works great.

Re: Word processor?
Hi, You can use Pages which is the Apple wp it is really accessible and you can convert files to word files if you need to.

Re: Support for word processor styles in VoiceOver under Mac OS
Can you get the style from the ribbon? We were talking last week about pages and it was mentioned that putting a hotspot on the style area could have pages speak the style as it gets updated.

Scrivener is an excellent drafting app. It is more suited to writing large documents like books etc. because it lets you outline and then fill in the outlines and's etc. Sent from my IPhone > On Jul 30, 2015, at 11:32 AM, Sunshine wrote: > > no what i mean is for someone who is in the process of writing a book which > word processor would be the best to use on a mac? > > >> On 7/30/2015 9:59 AM, Devin Prater wrote: >> I'd think iBooks Author would be good for that. >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >> On Jul 30, 2015, at 8:26 AM, Sunshine wrote: >> >>> What about features for writers? meaning making books and the like if you >>> want to become an author? >>> >>>> On 7/30/2015 7:14 AM, Alex Hall wrote: >>>> It depends on what you need.

Re: best word processor for mac and voiceover.
It depends on what you need. Advanced formatting, the ability to insert footers, all that? Pages is your cheapest bet. Something more basic, including fonts, links, and other rich text features (but not the advanced options of Pages), and Text Edit will do just fine. The latter is included on all Macs by default, whereas Pages is in the Mac App Store. It costs $20 if your Mac is older than fall 2013, otherwise it's free. > On Jul 30, 2015, at 2:05 AM, Sadam Ahmed wrote: > > Hello, > > For my research papers I use Nisus writer Pro available from > > http://nisus.com/pro/ <http://nisus.com/pro/> > > Pages is an option as well. > > Thank you, > > Sadam Ahmed > > Diploma of International Business candidate > > RMIT University > > Blog: > > Http://www.SadamAhmed.com <http://www.sadamahmed.com/> > > Sent using OS X Mail > > > > > > >> On 30 Jul 2015, at 3:00 pm, Sunshine > <mailto:sunsh...@abe.midco.net>> wrote: >> >> I am looking for the best word processor for the mac that works with >> voiceover. does anyone have any suggestions? >> >> On 7/29/2015 11:53 PM, Brandon A.

Re: default word processor
Hello Chris, TextEdit works great for reading Word documents but is certainly limited in its formatting capacity. TextEdit can provide a certain amount of formatting such as bold, italic, underscoring, colours, different fonts and sizes, and indents. Sighted people can also add tables, but VoiceOver can’t read them properly. So, for someone who only needs to write letters or simple articles, TextEdit works fine. It doesn’t work for anyone having to produce documents with a number of different paragraph styles, text boxes, tables, and so on. You’re also correct in saying that TextEdit won’t open a Pages document.

Re: default word processor
TexEdit isn't going to be able to open Pages documents, so if you ever get a file of that format, you won't have much of a choice. As for things like Word d documents, you may be able to open them, but I'm 99.999% sure it won't save them. What in Pages are you having issues with? I mean, by default, Text Edit should be openning RTF files, and TXT files, but if you're trying to go beyond that with Text Edit, it's not gonna happehn.

Re: Word processor
Hello Ed, I'd forgotten about that oddity. You just do VO-Space to open these menus. Pages is full of anomalies. I hope they bring out a new version of iWork that behaves better. It's about time they did. If you're the kind of person who likes to use standard Mac keyboard short cuts, don't use Ctrl-F2 to go to the Apple menu in Pages as it interprets this as just F2. Luckily, VO-m works fine.

Re: Word processor
Hello David, There are only two heading levels by default, but you can add as many as you like. Off the top of my head, the option to customise the paragraph style is in the same contextual menu as the hotkey. If you can't find it, I'll give you sensible instructions in a few days when I get back from training a teacher to use VoiceOver.

Re: Word processor
Thanks Anne, that worked great. There only seems to be two heading levels, but this is fine for me. I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be using a mac for everything, but it's happening.

Re: Word processor
Thanks for that Anne, OK, I've just managed to access the Styles Drawer, but everything says dimmed and I can't find headings anywhere. Thanks for helping. I hadn't realised that a header wasn't a heading. Makes sense now you explain it.

Re: Word processor
Hello David, First of all, when you open a Pages document, go to the View menu and hide everything you can. Also, never use Quick Nav in Pages. Once you have some text in your document, press Cmd-Shift-t to show the styles drawer. Stop interacting with everything and navigate left past the Toolbar to the drawer and interact. Navigate right and interact with the Paragraph styles table. There you should find what you're looking for. You set a hotkey by getting a contextual menu on the style you want and pressing "h" for hotkey. The submenu offers you the available hotkeys which are F1 to F8.

Re: Word processor
Hello David, Headers and Footers in Pages are fields that appear on every printed page and should not be confused with headings or footnotes. Headings, subheadings, etc are configured in the Styles drawer and you can set up to 8 hotkeys for these. When you save a template, the configured hotkeys are saved with it. I can't explain things with reference to Word as I'm not familiar with Word. Cheers, Anne On 17 Sep 2013, at 14:40, David Eagle wrote: > Hi Alex, I've used markdown a bit.

Re: Word processor
I don't know if this would work in your situation, but have you considered Markdown? It lets you basically create basic html but in text format. You then render the text and receive an html page.

Re: Word processor
I just use Text Edit and save everything as RTF. I don't know if it will do headings, but links should work just fine. Pages is also an option, though I find it to be very tedious to work with.

Re: scrolling text in textedit or other word processor.
Hello. Well, I tried that and it worked some how the first time but I think it is unreliable. Don't take it wrong, I am a mac user and I support Apple in what they do for accessibility. This is however a basic navigation command and it should work. This is available in Windows and any other operating system since the 80s. One should be able to press page down and page up and navigate easily. This is a stupid and very, very serious bug. Nektarios.

Re: scrolling text in textedit or other word processor.
Hello Nektarios, In TextEdit, try the command Cmd-Shift-w which toggles between Wrap to Page and Wrap to Window. The Page up and Page down commands should then work. They do for me. In Pages, those commands work for me all the time.

Re: Accessible word processor
Hi. I think I converted the manual to epub file, and when I could search in that file in ibooks on my IPhone. I have tried more wordprocessors. Textedit can be used, if you need to simple text editing. To me it would be enough in most cases. I am using nisus writer pro sometimes, especially if it is a document, which have to be used in word 2010, but we still have the problems with tables, if that could be solved, I could use wordprocessing just fine on the mac. I am using nisus writer pro for an easy way to make epub files, if it is a book, I have scanned. Best regards Annie.

Not sure if it isn't available in Canada or something but I had no luck in finding it. -Marc On 1/18/13, Scott Davert wrote: > If all you are looking to do is basic word processing, I'd say Text > Edit should work fine.

Re: Accessible word processor
If all you are looking to do is basic word processing, I'd say Text Edit should work fine. Although, iText Express is free as far as I can remember, so if you're not getting enough out of Text Edit, you may want to give it a try.

Re: word processor for the itouch?
Thanks rose, Inotepad worked great. Only a couple of things bemuse me and maybe they are a result of lack of proficiency with IOS. 1, I can't find the open button. I've got save, email, and some other goodies but no open. So, if I save 3 or 4 things and want to go back and look at something other than the last file I edited, how do I go about that? I know it will bring up the last file I was working on automatically when I open the app. I notice that if I double tap and hold I get a popup menu with things like select, select all, cut and copy, but when I double tap one, the menu goes away with no apparent effect. What am I missing?

Hello Erik, Why not just use the Notes app that comes with the iPod Touch?

Re: word processor for the itouch?
Try iNotepad GN. It's accessible, stable, simple, and cute. It costs $2.99. Quick Office is not accessible, last I check. If you have dropbox, you might also consider Nebulous or Droptext.

word processor for the itouch?

Re: Best Word Processor for Turabian
Hello James, Esther and others, The field that I am going into is in no way technical; I want to pursue a degree in pastoral counseling. Since almost all of my work can be done via the Internet, I am not sure how much interactionI will have with other students prior to the beginning of my coursework. The initial course I have to complete is on the aforementioned writing style. Actually, Esther, the links you referred to might be helpful indeed, and I thank you! So there was an actual Ms. Turabian? We live and learn.

Re: Best Word Processor for Turabian
Hi James, Kate Turabian was dissertation manager at the University of Chicago for several years, and wrote a style guide. I think this style is also referred to as the University of Chicago Press Style (or the two are very similar), and there's a Chicago Manual of Style online. They use Author-Date citations. See, for example this PDF guide: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/instruct/guides/chicago-turabianstyle.pdf I'm sure LaTeX does support this, but the learning curve might not be worthwhile unless Mike is going into a technical field that requires equations or special symbols (mathematics, physics, linguistics, computer science, etc.) A better plan might be to contact the graduate department in question and ask what other students use. If there are a lot of students using LaTeX, then it would relatively simple to install TeXShop and learn using patterns from other students working in the same area. The devil is in the details, so it's a real advantage to use the same programs that others who work in exactly the same area are likely to use. Although someone else familiar with LaTeX could probably dig and locate the resources you need, nothing beats having somebody just say, oh, that's handled by this style file or macro, here's a copy. Similarly, if they use some other word processing software, Mike can check that out. This is probably a better way to proceed than looking for Turabian templates (which might be called something else in a particular package.)

Best Word Processor for Turabian
Hello everyone, In one month, I will begin graduate studies at an American university that requires research papers to be written using the Turabian style for doing footnotes, bibliographic citations, etc. Although I have Office 2007 running under Windows 7, I'd like to use a Word Processor on the Mac that would have a template for Turabian.

Re: Question: how to convert from Mac Word processor into LaTex?
Hi Dan, LaTeX is crossplatform, so once you learn how it works on one operating system, you'll be fine on any other. The only way I've found to turn a word processed document into a LaTeX one is to copy the file to a text editor i.e. TextEdit and then add the LaTex syntax etc stripping out all the word processed stuff such as quotation marks if you are using text and elipcies to name just two things. LaTeX has a special way of writing these correctly which retains formatting and spacing. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your specific Math problem as i have only used LaTeX for text-based work. HTH TC James - Original Message - From: Daniel K.

Re: Finding and navigating to files [was Re: making TextEdit the default word processor]
Hi Esther, Thanks, your perspective is refreshing. I got chewed out last summer by someone when I wanted to put an alias for mail on my desktop, and was admonished for not simply using the dock. I'm not a huge fan of having tons of stuff on my desktop, but I do like having a few things that I use often. It doesn't take tons of time to open the dock, but I figure it's an extra unnecessary step for apps I use all the time. I can see where Spotlight could be really helpful I think I'll try and take some time this weekend to just play around with it, and hopefully that will help me to think of it more readily when I'm in a situation where it would be handy. It really is cool how many different ways there are to get around on a Mac.

Finding and navigating to files [was Re: making TextEdit the default word processor]
Hi Frank and Donna, You should do anything that makes using your computer easier for you. The only reason for not cluttering up your Desktop is that if you have a huge number of files on your Desktop you take a performance hit, but that's only if you have many files that are scattered, individual files -- the advice is to organize them at least into a few folders if you want them on your Desktop. Donna, the Spotlight shortcut is useful when you might be trying to find a file that could be in any one of a number of sub-folders under Documents, for example, or it could be something you might have downloaded and you don't remember whether you've copied or moved it to another location. What I usually do is navigate in Finder, since I have a number of files and folders on my Mac, so I might go to the dock, (VO-D), and then navigate to Finder (and open up a window with Command-N if one is not already open). You can customize the Finder sidebar to add frequently used folders. The Documents folder is one that is already in the Finder sidebar, but if you want to add any specific folder to the sidebar, select it in the Finder window and use Command-T to add it to the sidebar. (This is also available as the "Add to Sidebar" menu option from Finder's "File" menu on the menu bar). There are lots of ways to navigate.
