You can also find that in the Info box (command-I) on any file. After
all the usual stuff about size and name will be the Open With menu where
you can change to whatever app you want for that file. Just after that
will be a Change All button which will make all other files of that type
open with the selected app. The contextual menu might be a bit easier to
navigate but I remember this one easier.

Hi Donna,
You can change which application is associated with “MS-Word” documents by
locating a Word document you wish to open. Hit VO + Shift + M to open the
context menu. Go down to “Open with”, and press right arrow to access the
submenu. Once in the “Open with “ menu go down to “other”, and hit return.
Locate the application you wish to open the file with using the up and down
arrows, in this case, “Text Edit”, now VO right arrow until you find “always
open with”, check this box, and VO right until you reach “Open”. Your Word docs
will now open in Text Edit.
I hope this is of some help.
Have a great day.

Hi Anne,
As always, thank you! Do you know if there is a way to configure the Mac so
that Word files automatically open in Text Edit rather than Pages?
thanks,
Donna

Hello Donna,
You can open Word files in TextEdit so, for the Pages files, export them as
Word then you can open them in TextEdit and save them as RTF.
Cheers,
Anne

The documents in question are either Word or pages docs. I didn't think you
could open those in Text Edit. Can you?
Cheers,
Donna

I think you are correct. Could you skip Pages and open your document in
TextEdit and then export to RTF from there?

It is not possible to either directly save a file in RTF format or export a
file in RTF format. If this has changed in a later version of the app, I will
stand corrected.

Hi all,
I have tried numerous times to do this without success. Is it possible? If
yes, I would appreciate any tips any of you can provide.
TIA,
Donna
