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 w

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 12/07/20
