both have broken VO support with Lion but previous versions of OSX
worked pretty well with OpenOffice. I still had issues getting their
spreadsheet to announce rows and columns but many other things were
accessible. Worth a t

Hello Becky,
In TextEdit, in the Format menu, there's a Wrap to command which toggles
between Wrap to page and Wrap to window.
