Latex? Is that another editor, or is it a helper application for Text
Edit? The wizards basically helped to make life easier i.e. if I was
writing a letter, it would get the recipient's address from my
addressbook and then set up a letterhead with my return address, the
recipient's mailing address, Dear whoever, sincerely yours ...
basically, all I had to do was write the letter. Concerning fax
coversheets, basically, there was a wizard that would do the same
thing -- get the recipient's fax number, figure out the number of
pages in the document, put my return info/logo on the page and
basically make it look nice. Again, not totally essential, but was
really quite handy at times. I wasn't sure if something like Pages, I
think that's what replaced appleworks, would do something like this.
I don't mind purchasing something and going away from Text Edit, I
just am not sure in which direction to head and of course, I would
want to make sure it'll work with VO.
Thanks,
Steve

I'm not familiar with the little wizards that you mention, never
having had much contact with Word, but it would seem to me that if I
understood what these programs did it would be a simple matter to
write such wizards in AppleScript for TextEdit.
Of corse LaTeX can do these kinds of things as well.

One of the things I really miss being able to do with my Mac is
those little wizards in MS Word that help one write letters, create
cover pages, format documents, etc... At first I hated those
wizards, but as time has gone on, I've come to like them. I don't
see anything similar in Text Edit and am wondering if there's
another wordprocessing package that is more, well, wordish?
Something that contains templates and wizards to assist with
document formatting and/or creation?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Steve
