Since they offer a demo you should try it for yourself to see if it
meets your needs.

Does it have a spelling checker in it as well as a grammar checker?

Try Nisus. I don't remember the link, but you should be able to
find it with a Google search.

Well, I can check it out, but for the immediate future, I just
need to get stuff done. I'm migrating more and more to the Mac
and although I'm trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I
can, I still need to get work stuff done. I really appreciate
everyone's suggestions, it's truly amazing how much I can do on
my mac.
Thanks,
Steve

I second that. But it is probably not what you want if it is
just a quick job.

Let me be clear LaTeX will do all he wants but is VERY complex
to learn. Still for the blind its markup based system of layout
insures the very best quality.

You don't want Latex.

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,

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
