Re: saving in text edit
Indeed there are, and it's worth a google if you're bored one day. Apps like Tinker Tool can do a lot of them for you, but some are terminal-only. For instance, I recently enabled Airdrop on a 2007 Mac running Lion through Terminal and it works great. On Jul 20, 2013, at 7:10 PM, Steve Holmes wrote: > Thanks for that answer.

Sure. In terminal, you can type this, exactly as it's written and iCloud won't be the default location. defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false And press enter.

Thanks for that answer. I had not seen any options in the regular preferences for TextEdit. I guess there's a lot of more powerful options out there that can be set through terminal.

Re: saving in text edit
I don't recall just where, but you can change that in Text Edit's preferences - you'll want the "local machine" option instead of iCloud, and then it will work as expected. Many people want this change, so Google has plenty of articles on the topic. On Jul 20, 2013, at 6:19 PM, Steve Holmes wrote: > I have one other question related to saving files in Text Edit.

Re: saving in text edit
I have one other question related to saving files in Text Edit. In my case, the default location is always iCloud and I have to change it to one of my local folders each time I save a new file. Is there a way to make it not default to iCloud?

Re: saving in text edit
When you press command-s it will display the save/save as dialogue, unless the file has already been saved. If the file has already been saved you have a few options. YOu can navigate to the left up near the toolbar to the file actions pop up button. In this button are options such as rename file, move file and duplicate file. You can also get these functions from the file menu. These will allow you to do the same things as save as. If, for instance, you duplicate the file, you can then press command-s to bring up the save dialogue to choose a file name, file type and file location etcetera. The original file will not be changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: saving in text edit
Hi Jean, When you press CMD-s, you will get a save dialogue box. When you navigate through that dialogue box through VO-right arrow, you will come across a save as option. You will be able to select the format in which you wish to save the file like TXT, RTF, etc by using that option. On 12/07/2013, jean parker wrote: > All: > Ok hopefully this has a simple answer.

Re: finding deleted folder in text edit
When you get to the trash by either going to the doc or doing what was suggested before, you can also press command delete and the file goes back to where came from.

Re: rich text edit areas and VO?
Try Internet Explorer as well. But yes, if it doesn't work, Windows probably will. Just to elaborate on the problem though, what I was finding is that when I would hit return/enter, I would lose VoiceOver. Once I started typing again though VoiceOver would come back. I could use standard formatting keystrokes like command-i and command-b. Sighted persons would tell me these were having the right effect, but VoiceOver wouldn't announce anything. Text alignment was a complete mess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

You enable developer settings in preferences, then go to the developer menu and choose your desired browser from the "user agent" submenu.

Re: rich text edit areas and VO?
I faced these the other day on a web site, which uses rich text edit areas for all of their posting areas. I was able to type into the edit area, but then when I attempted to post, VO was not behaving properly and I could not figure out where the post button was. Also, when I tried to get back into the text area, I couldn't. It was exceedingly frustrating. I gave up, and wrote to the moderator of the site, but I don't know what will come of it.

Re: rich text edit areas and VO?
It might not just simply be an Apple problem. It might be the way the rich text areas are coded. But yes, many do seem to have problems with VoiceOver. Often the same rich text areas work fine with Windows screen readers. I'd suggest getting Safari to emulate Firefox. This makes the rich text areas display as regular text fields.

Re: rich text edit areas and VO?
Hello alex, Rich edit areas are notoriously bad with VO. The work-around I have found is to type your text in TextEdit or another word processor and then paste it into the rich text edit area after interacting with the area. If you turn QuickNav off and arrow up and down you can see that your text is there but you are unable to move by word, character, etc. HTH, Harry On Jun 17, 2013, at 1:59 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > Hi all, > I am trying to fill out a form, and one part is some kind of rich text edit > area.

rich text edit areas and VO?
Hi all, I am trying to fill out a form, and one part is some kind of rich text edit area. I can interact with it, but Voiceover does nothing - I cannot type, no commands like cmd-v seem to work, nothing. Is there a trick to using these edit controls? Thanks.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Sorry for the confusion, but I was talking about the days I was using Windows with MS Word. I have found that one has to be careful about text that touches whatever you are trying to affect with alignments or fonts. I used to get text all the time when I was using Windows that would have attributes in it I didn't know about. When the things, I added other attributes in because what I put in touched text that had those attributes. I have found this to be true in TextEdit as well, and I guess it's a characteristic these days of word processor programs. I hope what I am saying this time makes sense.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Well, it's working now. I put the mac to sleep last night, and tried again this morning, and all is as it should be. Go figure! I also discovered the incredibly useful, of verbose, "speak text changes" option in the verbosity settings, which let me just read my document and hear all my style and alignment changes. Very handy!

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Hi Alex I did some experimentation this morning with TextEdit. Since I do a lot of work with TextEdit for my business, I would be concerned if a bug like this happened. I am not having the same problems you are having with your file. I tried it with the keyboard and with the menu, and mine worked perfectly. Therefore, and I have had to do this after an update occurred, maybe you might want to shut your computer down and restart it again. I have had some weird things happen after an update. I know this sounds weird, but even though my computer restarts after the update automatically, I almost always have to do it again. Usually, the problems I have had after a major update like this one have had to do with Finder, but I suppose anything could be effected. It can't hurt.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Thanks everyone. The file is plaintext for now, but I'll save it as RTF or doc since it will have to work on Windows machines. Since the text aligns to the center, I know it is not my text type, or at least I don't think it is. I'll try a single line at a time, and no, I'm not trying to put multiple allignments on one line. I have my header (company name, date, title) centered, then I have a list of information I want on the left, then a series of paragraphs I want on the left, each of which has a centered title. I'll grab someone to visually inspect the file, I was just hoping to not have to do that; the Mac is usually so accessible, I hate to ask for help using it. Oh, and yes, I am interacting with the text.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Hi there, I've been playing with this for about a half hour now, and I've only managed to successfully get the alignment to read out correctly if I change it on single lines or paragraphs at a time. Using multiple alignments on one line doesn't seem to work. Weather you can do this visually, I'm not sure, but VoiceOver doesn't seem to pick them up if I do it that way. I also experimented with font size, style and colour changes, and VoiceOver read those out correctly.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Instead of using the commands on the keyboard, maybe it would work if you tried using the menu instead. I know that sounds weird, but maybe that will work.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not work for me. I also tried highlighting the text to be aligned left, but that did not help either. This is very odd.

Re: aligning text in Text Edit?
Yes, I think I have an idea here. Whenever I want to change centering, italics, bold, etc., I put a space after the text I am emphasizing. I'm not sure this is necessary, but I select that space and put it back into plain mode or whatever the next thing is I want to be in. I had this trouble with MS Word as well, and ever since I started doing this, I have not had trouble changing my text.

aligning text in Text Edit?
Hi all, I'm writing a template to use for client reports, and I'm using Text Edit. I also have iText Express, but I have not yet tried that. The problem is that, after I center my title, I can't seem to un-center anything else. That is, even after I hit cmd-left brace and vo says "align left checked", hitting vo-t on text that should not be centered reports it as centered. It seems as though the whole file is stuck in this "align center" mode and I can't work out how to un-center parts of it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: text edit and braille
Hi there To make a transformat in TextEdit first select all your text with command a. At this point, make sure you don't press the delete key. If you do accidentally however, press command Z in a big hurry. Then press the VO keys which are control option together with the Letter min menu. Go with the right arrow to edit and go down arrow until you hear transformations submenu. Press the right arrow key and you want to go down arrow until you hear make lowercase press the return key. You will be taking back to your file so press the upper down arrow key here something to make sure that you an highlight things. This will look strange decided people, but it works okay for braille files.

Re: changing document extensions in text edit
Hello, What you are seeing is the option to save to a .docx format, I think. Interestingly, Pages gives you the option of saving in .doc format, while TextEdit gives you the option to save as .docx, but you cannot save as both in either program, as far as I know. The .doc is the older file extension, and the .docx is the more current file extension, but they are both MS Word formats.

correct, but you are only able to do that with a newly created file, not one that has been saved previously.

Yes, that's what I've been doing thus far. I guess as a new-to-mac user I kind of fished around a bit and saw the different extensions. Thanks so much again for your support.

Re: changing document extensions in text edit
this isn't true, you can save in a .doc format, in the save as dialog, the third or so from the last option will state: "Rich Text Format (RTF) document File Format:" or something like this. you can save in .docx (word 2007), .doc (word 97), etc. On Feb 7, 2013, at 3:40 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Sorry for my mistake.

Re: changing document extensions in text edit
Sorry for my mistake. I just went into TextEdit, and noticed this. It turns out that this is a little weird, and I had never noticed this in TextEdit. If you call up an existing rtf file, then you don't get an option to change it once you have saved it out as an rtf file. However, if you press command n to start a new file, and you have never saved it out before, then you get a chance to save in Word formats of different kinds. So, if you have already saved out your file,. then you can select all your text, make a new file, and then save it out in whatever Word format you want. I know this is a work around, but it should work. Regards, Gigi On Feb 7, 2013, at 4:31 PM, Randy George wrote: > Thank you so much for the information.

Re: changing document extensions in text edit
that's strange, because when i open a new document and create it i definitely have the option of saving it as a .DOC file. I've just taken to copying/pasting in to a new file and reserving it as a .DOC when i need to say upload to a website or something like that.

Re: changing document extensions in text edit
Hi there Changing an extension is actually very easy, if that's all you want to do. You can do that in finder by pressing enter on the filename going to the end of the line taking out the current extension, and then changing it. After you change it, press enter and then you will be asked if you really want to do that press the L right arrow, and then theon the choice you want. However, if you really want to make a doc file from an RTF file so that word is happy with the file, you can't do that from text edit. You would need to have Pages to do that.

Re: Saving preferences in text edit
Hi, Lisette, That dialog is actually asking what you want to open. You can press the "new document" button and a blank document will be displayed. You can also press escape and then command-n. I really can't find a way not to show that dialog. HtH, Teresa Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Saving preferences in text edit
Hi Can someone please remind me how to set Text Edit to save on my mac and not in icloud? I can't see it in the text edit preferences or in the icloud tabe of the main apple preferences. I want to be able to quickly open text edit without that silly dialogue asking where I want to save things. I seem to remember than when "on my mac" is the default that goes away.

Re: possible Text edit discovery: can anyone confirm?
Hi, That's fairly normal behaviour for a Word Processor. Consider that Bold, Italic and such are applied to specific text within a given area whereas alignment is applied to specific lines of text. Therefore, when the cursor is on a certain line of text, and the center alignment is applied, that line of text is centered. If your cursor was at the end of whatever you're typing, and you set it to Bold, then everything from then on would be bold until you turned that toggle off. If you put the cursor in the middle of some text, pressed cmd-b to start Bold, then only the new text entered would be bold. Hope that makes sense. Later...

possible Text edit discovery: can anyone confirm?
Hi all, I was playing with Text Edit again today and I think I figured something out. In MS Word, you highlight the text you want to format and then apply the formatting. In Text Edit, you do the same for bold or italic, but aligning seems different. I think you can just move to the start of the text to be, say, centered and press command vertical line. To stop centering, you press command left brace. No highlighting required, you just issue the commands for alignment where you want them and off you go, but remember to left-align after you are done centering or everything will be centered. Am I right here? Do even bold or other format commands work this way? thanks.

Re: Question about using text edit for html editing
Yes, actually, I have been trying to learn more about this. The reason I need to check the HTML, I have to pull out the header and footer information and keep the rest so that I can post it on a webpage text entry form where I can do formatting, but not the header and footer. Because that's already part of the system. So far I haven't been able to find a text editor that handles marked down that is voiceover compatible, but who knows question certainly not me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Question about using text edit for html editing
Hi Bill, I don't know if this is something that interests you, but on a recent podcast, named mac power users podcast, I heard about markdown. Mark down is a way to mark up your text in an easy to read format, that can then be saved into rich text, html and other variants where you need formatting. If you have all punctuation on in VoiceOver, then you will experience how easy it is to write your pages in markdown, and have it h t m aletized when you need that. For example, a bulleted list is as easy as putting an asterisk in front of the line you want bulleted, and many things are possible, like headings on different levels, just by remembering a very short, readable and simple syntax. I don't have much experience in it myself so far, because I don't write webpages, but what I'm reading and hearing about markdown since my attention was first drawn to it, is really awesome. It allows you to be isolated from coding html, and learn a simple formatting language. Then, let the mark down converter do the rest. For people building their own web sites and doing that in html, markdown or even multi markdown might be an interesting solution. I hope someone will chime in on limitations of mark down, but as far as I've seen it, it takes a lot of work off your shoulders, while leaving the control in your hands. People who know about html say that the markdown output files are in very clean code. Maybe this may help you along the way. Paul. On Sep 2, 2012, at 8:44 PM, Bill Holton wrote: > Hi.

Re: Question about using text edit for html editing
this is going to seem like an absolutely stupid question, I know, but why could you not just reopen the HTML file with in text edit. Would that not work to show your html work? in other words, after saving your file, don't we open it with in safari, but instead, reopen the file with in text edit itself. Hope this helps. Chris.

Re: ITunes and Text EDit have disappeared from dock
Just curious, how do you guys find some of these other shortcuts? When I went into the menus while on the apps folder, I did not see even a menu item for putting the file on the doc. I saw one for putting it on the sidebar (Command-T). When I looked around in the help menu for the finder, I didn't come across that either. This is a good one to remember though.

Re: Text edit and icloud
Hi there! Happily, I also figured out that somehow when installing ML, it had changed my icloud settings. So once I went in and unchecked documents, as I don't want my documents in the cloud, Text edit started behaving nicely again. Yay! No opening with the strange wizard and saving defaulted to the documents folder. Yippee! Thanks.

Hi john go to system preferences and interact with preference pains and press i or vo i to icloud interact with a table their, that lists what you've got checked and uncheck documents and data and text edit goes back to how it was and the icloud choice is gone.

Text edit and icloud
I think it was Veronica who had a question about text edit wanting to put everything in the cloud. I too found this irritating and discovered that: 1, You can uncheck the iCloud box in the text edit dialog, and check the local box. Then carry on. I do not know if that remains in effect for the future. 2, If you sign out of iCloud then text edit opens without interruption. js -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: double spacing in text edit
Hi Christina, If you are using TextEdit in rich text mode, and you just want to set the line spacing to double space, the easy way to do this is to VO-Left arrow (left arrow, if you have Quick Nav on) from the scroll area for the text, to the pop up menu buttons in the title bar. You'll first hear VoiceOver say "list style, menu button", then when you VO-Left again, "1.0, line spacing, pop up button". Press the pop up button for line spacing (VO-space) and set the line spacing to 2.0. The different arguments in the spacing dialog window that you access from the format menu allow you more options. You can either set a fixed line spacing in points, or scale it to be a multiple of the current line height. The difference shows up when you use multiple font sizes in your document, so that the line height can change according to the largest font you use in a line. If you aren't going to change fonts in the middle of a line or paragraph, you would just set the line height multiple to "2.0" in that format menu. Alternatively, if your default font type is 12 points high, but sometimes you include a word in 14 point type for emphasis, you might set your interline spacing to be 24 points for double spacing in that dialog window, and leave the other arguments alone. You can also set a different spacing between paragraphs in the dialog. Also, if you save your settings as a new custom style, under the "paragraph style" menu button, I believe that your spacing, font, and other choices will get set whenever you create a new document and select that style. So you could create a style that you named "double spacing", for example. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Jun 21, 2012, at 11:02 AM, Christina wrote: > I don't get how to "double space" in text edit.

Many people find Daniel Schwill's Tables application more intuitive to use, especially in the way that it references cells. This is the application that we had before Numbers added VoiceOver accessibility, so there was VoiceOver user input to the developer. You might like that better unless you're a power user of spreadsheets, since Tables doesn't have good support for pivot table functions, etc. You can get a trial download from: http://www-x-tables.eu/ And I think he also offers an educational discount.

Re: reading with text edit
You really can't break anything on the Mac unless you really go out of the way to try. Just take it little by little and choose small battles first. Also, don't fall back on your Windows mindset or expectations as you use the Mac. Learn the Mac and VoiceOver as a different OS and screen reader. It's no different than when you learned Windows.

I purchased my mac book pro a few months ago but being a two-person team at www.BlindAccessTraining.com and not having the time I would like to devote to the mac, I am learning when I can. With my business offering training only in windows and web design, the mac has suffered great neglection these past few months. However, now that my day job has let out and I am off for the summer, I plan on devoting more time to exploring the macbook pro I have. Lol, I'm just scared to touch it again and break something haha.

Re: reading with text edit
Hi Gerard, If you are using Rich Text mode, TextEdit has a feature for creating tables, but you'd be better off using a dedicated application like Numbers. Many people find Daniel Schwill's Tables application more intuitive to use, especially in the way that it references cells. This is the application that we had before Numbers added VoiceOver accessibility, so there was VoiceOver user input to the developer. You might like that better unless you're a power user of spreadsheets, since Tables doesn't have good support for pivot table functions, etc. You can get a trial download from: http://www-x-tables.eu/ And I think he also offers an educational discount. HTH.

Re: reading with text edit
Hi, TextEdit is built into the MacOS X operating system, and can be found in the Applications folder. So, yes, it is free, since it is installed with every Mac. It's used primarily to create or read text documents, which can either be plain text or rich text format. What may be of more interest to you, although May did not mention it, is that in TextEdit VoiceOver will read all sorts of special characters, including special math symbols, and characters for languages with non-Latin alphabets, even if you don't have voices for those languages (e.g., Greek alphabet, Cyrillic alphabet for Russian and other slavic languages), also emoji characters, etc. And if you select text in a Word document with an embedded table that VoiceOver wouldn't otherwise read out, and send use the "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" service menu option (which you can enable by checking this option under System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts for Services), then VoiceOver will read all text (including the tables) in that document from the TextEdit window. As an aside, if anyone is interested in using TextEdit to copy over special characters, like emoji characters for messages, I wrote a description of how to do this in the AppleVis site's Forum just a day ago. Look under the OS X & Mac App Discussion thread titled "using the special character itim pallet". I don't use the character palette for emoji, but you can get special math symbols or Cyrillic or Greek alphabet letters easily copied with this method of opening a TextEdit file and bringing up the Character Palette with Command-Option-T.

Re: reading with text edit
Text Edit is one of the applications that comes with the Mac. No need to purchase it or such. It should be in your applications folder or in your Dock by default.

Reverting Files in Text Edit
What is the easiest way to revert a document while using Text Edit and VoiceOver? When I choose File -> Revert, I get the dialog with a button for revert to most recent save and another button for viewing all past versions. the problem I have is viewing past versions. At least when I tried this, I only saw a single line with the same date and time in it twice. If I interacted with it, I just interacted with text. I thought there would be a table or something. I'm new to this idea of reverting to prior versions, so maybe some background info would be of good help. Are there special tricks for VO users to access this area?
