Hello Carolyn, While it's true that TextEdit saves documents in their original format, it isn't a fully-fledged word processor and you can lose important formatting.
Headers, for instance, get grouped together at the end of the document, and any styles not supported by TextEdit are lost. This is why I can't use TextEdit in my work as a translator. Pages does a very good job of preserving styles and allows me to create quality documents that I export to MS Word format and which meet my customers' requirements.

So, I'm not clear what's the issue here? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
