I think I will be getting Latex . Is it totally accessible and how much does
it cost?

Hi,
Okay, well there is IText Express, a small free word processing
application, similar to Text Edit, which provides the ability to add
footnotes. There is also Nisus Writer Express, or Nisus Writer Pro, you
can find these at
www.nisus.com
Neither Express or Pro are currently 100% usable with VO, but very
nearly. If you were thinking of purchasing Nisus Writer, I would
recommend the Pro version, as that seems more accessible.
There is also Latex (pronouned Laytech), which is a type-setin tool. It
is extremely powerful and versitle, but does require time to learn.
Although, the benefits are rewarding, especially for Blind users in my
personal opinion, as I use it exclusively for my University assignments.
I don't want to clutter the list with discussions about Latex, so please
feel free to E Mail me off list, if you'd like to know more.
Hope this helps
James

Listers somewhere before I got familiar with my Mac their was a

was and how can I get it? Note: one of its liked features is that you
don't have to worry about formatting (a lister reported).
