Tim and others, thanks for your fantastic help. I have a couple more questions if I may? If I tab at the beginning of a paragraph, do I get the usual 5 space indent to denote a paragraph? Also, is there any way to make my preferred font the default in text edit? Maybe I won't have to reach

Also you can use cmd shift t to switch from plain text to rtf. A friend of mine found that keystroke by accident. Take care. S On Sep 29, 2010, at 11:44 AM, Esther wrote: > Hi Justin, Tim, Kimberly, and Others, > > I'd just like to add that after setting up fonts and line spacing in TextEdit

Hi Justin, Tim, Kimberly, and Others, I'd just like to add that after setting up fonts and line spacing in TextEdit you can simply save this setup as you own style file. Interact with the "Styles" pop up button in the ruler and select "Other". Then press the "Add to favorites" button and s

Hi Justin, The only way I can duplicate your issue here is by beginning to enter text right away after opening TextEdit. What's happening in this case is that upon opening TextEdit, it announces the Edit field, but you're not actually Interacting With it. So, it will announce what you're typi

Yep. Not just me either. A friend of mine had the same thing happened. So when you said you did a podcast on OO, I figured it was happening to everyone and you'd somehow gotten around it. What version of OO are you using? Is it 3.2.1? If not, I can just get the version you have until this is fix

Hi tim, LOL. Nope, I wouldn't try to get the attributes of non-existent text. Don't think you'd get terribly far with that one. Seriously though, I usually write a paragraph or two, then I feel like I need to make sure it's formatted correctly even though I know that I changed the settings. Mos

Hi Justin, Does your document have any text in it at all? If the document is empty then pressing VO-t will yield a muffled ding noise because there's nothing there for it to take the text attributes of. Simply type one letter and then press the VO-t command and you'll hear the text attributes

Hi tim, This is helpful to me as well. I have one question about the VO-t command for hearing the current text attributes. For some reason, this command works fine for me when I open existing documents but all I get is one of the voiceover sounds when I use it in a newly created document. This
