Hi all,
I have a stupid question. I was looking at Textedit yesterday, and
found it supports lists, tables, bolding, justification, centering,
and so on. So, except for embeding images, what can MS Office, Libre
Office, or Open Office do that Textedit cannot? Basically, why the
need for a more powe
Alex,
I use a mac and textedit with no problem.
I write poetry, journal entries ETC. I actually really like the simplicity of
textedit.

Hello Alex,
TextEdit is great for reading documents, but it doesn't support Headers or
footers. I use Pages for complex documents.
Cheers,

You know, for most practical purposes, it can. I haven't really had good luck
getting tables to work, but i'm still back on sl. Hopefully things have
improved in two years, lol. I've certainly submitted professional reports with
it, and had them look reasonably attractive.
By the way, text edit
Okay, I wondered if format support would ocme into it. Still, from
what I hear, any file formatted in one program will likely not be
formatted correctly in another, so I don't see this as specific to
Textedit. Headers and footers are things I never use, but I can see
how lack of support would be li
Hi.
Try VO T to check formatting.
If it doesn't work, try highlighting the text first and then use VO T.

Hi Alex, well I use a free app called Bean and it works for me. I mainly got it
because Text Edit can't display your word count and tell me how many pages I
have written. Where as with Bean all I have to do is one simple keystroke and I
get all the info in a dialog box. I have also been able to
Thanks. Is this on the app store or do I have to hunt it down?

Hi,
this is just an opinion / question, but my understanding has always been
that text edit was not intended to be a full word processor.
Instead it is the equal of edit and other things like notepad in Microsoft
operating systems.
My thought has been, and my question is why apple did not make
if you type in Bean for mac in Bing or google you will find t.

Pages is accessible. That is the word equivalent in the iwork suite. Text edit
does have a decent amount of features built in. Comparing it to notepad or word
pat simply doesn't do text edit the proper justice. Unless you're doing complex
word processing, you might not need pages. Oh, just anoth
Daniel,
Where can I get this app. What do I search for?

I went to Rose's site, http://www.chicksdigmacs.net, and searched for
"bean". It came right up, complete with a download link. I haven't
tried it yet, but that's how I will next time I boot into mac.

Hi Daniel,
May I ask where you got Bean from?

Hi Johnny, I just simply typed Bean in a google search and it should be the 1st
result once you've typed it in.
If you need help finding it, then I will provide a link to the Homepage but if
you find it, then let me know so I don't have to find the page for you.
Good luck!

Hi!
Well I too went to rosie's page and I found an executable install link for
Bean. I first did a cmd+enter on it and something happened, but I couldn't
tell you what. Then I tried a VO+spacebar and got a file not found on this
server with a 404 error page. So lets face it. I think I need to
Hello Johnny,
The right link is:
Download Bean
If the link is not responding, try to save the source of the link with the save
as option.
Hope this helps,

Hi Johnny, here is the direct homepage for Bean.

I will now try to describe how you download and install it.
Note two things. Once you understand how to install an app on the Mac, then it
will apply to most apps that you want to use. With the exception of somet
Hello all,
This is perhaps a late response but I found this a interesting discussion and
I wasn't able to answer before because of holidays.
What's most frustrating for me is that we can't edit office-documents of others
without distroying the made lay-out.
The only option here should be to use
The way I see it, you have one other choice: only use Mac! If you have a doc or
docx file, will converting it to rtf, then saving it in that format, solve the
problem? I suppose this isn't a surprise, though, as no two editors do things
the same way, so compatibility in all aspects of formatting
Hello Alex,
in my opinion, we shouldn't accept that we can't work toghetter with oter
sighted users because of the inaccessible or low featured editors.
I think personally that Apple should build only apps that are fully accessible
with their own accessibility rules in mind,(exepting bugs of co
True. I have not tried Pages, but I hear it is mostly accessible, more than MS
can say about their solutions. I guess I'm just tired of everyone thinking they
need Office in order to be productive...

If I may play devil's advocate for a second, though--if you are working with
people that are using Word, where is the line beyond which the solutions we
have at our disposal that run natively on OS X are too incompatible for
collaboration?

When converting files from MS Word to Pages, there are problems with the
