a few mac questions before starting school this fall
Hello all, Since I have decided to switch to the mac permanently now, I am getting ready to start my master’s this fall, and I had really just one question I guess. In text edit, has anyone used this to write papers and things like that for school? Can you do headers and footers and footnotes and things like that, or do I need to get pages for this? If I need to get pages, how accessible is it, and are there any tutorials on using that, or numbers or key note with voiceover? Just trying to get a good handle on some of these apps before starting school this fall. I don’t want to be fighting voiceover while trying to get assignments done.

Bryan, You're definitely! definitely! going to want to get Pages. No questions asked! Pages is *extremely!* accessible. Anne Robertson has put together some training material, and also offers Skype lessons one-on-one. I'm not sure how much they are though. I think she's on this list, so hopefully, she'll chime in.

Re: a few mac questions before starting school this fall
Hello Brian, If your buying a new Apple product, I’d suggest you look at purchasing 1 to 1 training. Providing an Apple store is in your area. You can take as many sessions with a VoiceOverApple trained member of staff within a year. Some people don’t like it but it made my switch very easy. Stores can be noisy and some staff are better than others. Here in the UK, the Trafford Centre allowed VO customers to have 2 hour sessions. Good luck with your switch and future studies.
