Awe, you don't drive us crazy, or at least, you don't me. LOL! We're more
than willing to help.

Hi Esther,
Thank you so much for clarifying this! I knew about the shortcut command,
but hadn't realized yet that it was a toggle! I think that I can speak
for all of us who feel technologically challenged, when I express my
heartfelt thanks to all of you on list who take the time and patience to
carry us along! I usually get things pretty well once I have a clear
explanation of them, but figuring them out for myself doesn't always come
very easily, even though I try to carefully read documentation whenever
possible! So, again, thanks to all those of you for whom these things do
come easily, and the rest of us will continue to soldier on and not drive
the rest of you completely crazy!

Hi Desi,
Just to add to Zack's explanation, there's a TextEdit keyboard shortcut,
Command+Shift+T, that lets you switch between rich text format and plain
text format. It's a toggle action, so if you're using rich text format
you'll be able to change to plain text, and if you're using plain text
format you can change to rich text.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Actually, yes, but not quite in the way you would expect. What you need
to do is go to the format menu I believe, and there is an item called
"make plain text."I may be misremembering the menu, it's somewhat early
over here and I'm not in a position to check right now. At any rate,
once you've selected that item, if you choose to make the document
plain text, you should be able to save it as a.txt file from then on.
I hope this helps,
Zack.

Good Morning!
I was trying to save a file under "Save As" in TextEdit and I wanted
to save it as a plain text file. My only option appeared to be "Open
Text Document." I was reluctant to do that, because I remember from
some time back, that when I tried opening a document saved in this
format, it didn't seem to work on non Apple platforms. Is there a
regular plain text option I'm missing somewhere? Thanks!
