You know, for most practical purposes, it can. I haven't really had good luck getting tables to work, but i'm still back on sl. Hopefully things have improved in two years, lol. I've certainly submitted professional reports with it, and had them look reasonably attractive.
By the way, text edit's filetype support isn't very good. If you have a form done up in word format, text edit will import it but pooch the formatting. I have to use open office writer for that sort of job, and writer irritates me. Have fun, ERIK burggraafEbony ConsultingI am currently on the road and staying in touch on my handheld.

So, except for embeding images, what can MS Office, Libre Office, or Open Office do that Textedit cannot? Basically, why the need for a more powerful editor when this one seems to have it covered pretty well? I always hear variation of, "the mac is fine unless you want to actually get work done", and I was wondering about Textedit, so I had a look, and it seems quite capable. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
