Hi
Whether textedit would suffice depends on what you need to do. It
really is no match for a full wordprocessor when you come right down
to it, though it is considerably more than a text editor. It sits
right in the middle of the two extremes in my opinion and is suitable
for a lot of people. I'd tend to think though that if the client is a
teacher they would need a bit more than textedit offers, such as
headers, footers, endnotes and the like.

Hi There Barbara,
You are right VoiceOver doesn't work with those programs you have
listed, however on the Mac your client should have a program called
Text Eddit which is more or less the same as Microsoft Word and you
can get word processors that don't come with the mac but they have
to be paid for separately.
As for the other programs, I'm not sure what your client can use but
I'm sure there are programs out there that she will be able to use
with VoiceOver.
Hope this helps you a little,
best wishes,
Vicki.

Hi guys:
I am currently working with a client who is a teacher and she is
losing her
vision. She is using the Mac to do all her school work. She told me
that she
was having difficulty to read text in the computer for long period
of time
because her eyes get tired easily.
My question for you is the VoiceOver will work with the following
programs
such as Word, Excel, Page Maker, and Turbo Tax. My client wants to
use these
programs using a screen reader for Mac. In my understanding that
VoiceOver
will not work with these programs, but maybe I am wrong.
In addition, if you have any suggestion of programs which will work
with
VoiceOver and have the same features of the programs listed above,
please
include them in your reply.
You can also email me privately if you choose to. Thank you very much
Barbara
