Hi,
this is just an opinion / question, but my understanding has always been
that text edit was not intended to be a full word processor.
Instead it is the equal of edit and other things like notepad in Microsoft
operating systems.
My thought has been, and my question is why apple did not make i-works
fully voiceover accessible?
I-works was intended to be apple's version of word so to speak, making it
the most logical choice for maximum voiceover functionality.
It works in outspoken, so why not keep it up?

Hi Alex, well I use a free app called Bean and it works for me. I mainly got it
because Text Edit can't display your word count and tell me how many pages I
have written. Where as with Bean all I have to do is one simple keystroke and I
get all the info in a dialog box. I have also been able to save in that app in
.doc word format and go between windows and Mac at college and home. I like
both systems and I'm very glad I found this app. It also regularly updated too
and I think the developer is aware of us Voiceover users because he fixed some
labels that wern't correct in 3.8 and were supposively reporting there correct
status in 3.9 LOL I didn't even know what labels he was referring to but it was
mentioned in the change log so I assumed it was done.
Anyway hope this helps.

Hi.
Try VO T to check formatting.
If it doesn't work, try highlighting the text first and then use VO T.
HTH,

Okay, I wondered if format support would ocme into it. Still, from
what I hear, any file formatted in one program will likely not be
formatted correctly in another, so I don't see this as specific to
Textedit. Headers and footers are things I never use, but I can see
how lack of support would be limiting to other users. When using vo,
is there a command equivalent to ins-f, to read formatting? I use that
command to check centering, font, and other attributes.

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,

Hi all,
I have a stupid question. I was looking at Textedit yesterday, and
found it supports lists, tables, bolding, justification, centering,
and so on. 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.
