How can I make a new plain text file in TextEdit without the frame
for a paper printout? Is there a hidden preference for this?
If you "Make Plain Text" from the Format menu, then TextEdit will
make a simple .txt file, and that has no provisions for page margins
(which is what I assume you are referring to). When you print from
any application, TextEdit included, then the printing system will
give you margins when printing because many printers can't go
edge-to-edge, and 99% of the time people want/expect margins on their
printouts.
I only want to make simple text files. I gave my printer away 20 years
ago and go to Kinkos three or four times a year if I need to print.
To format for paper pages I use a word processor like Open Office, etc.
It's not that hard to start a file in TextEdit (I usually only use it
for plain text), close it, and open it again to make the page boundary
go away, but that's an irritating nuisance and I was hoping in could be
made unnecessary.
