Marta, there are a lot of notes and word processing apps available for the iPad. Apple's Pages is a pretty full-featured word processor, and there are a variety of note-taking apps that do or do not have printing. Here's an article about a couple simple writing apps that might appeal to you (one is even free): http://gigaom.com/apple/ipad-writing-apps-plaintext-vs-writer/ It doesn't print but it syncs back to your Mac instantly via DropBox. You can open your message there and print it with TextEdit. You can copy text from web pages and paste it into your documents as you can in pretty much any iOS app. I won't let you copy images, though. It's minimal, but it's free. j. -- Jonathan Fletcher FileMaker 9 & 10 Certified Developer Fletcher Data Consulting [email protected] http://www.fletcherdata.com 502-509-7137 Kentuckiana's FileMaker Users Group Next meeting: February 22, 12:00 pm to 3:00-ish Special Location!
