Re: reading with text edit
Hi Gerard I didn't see where anybody sent this to you, but when I bought numbers it was $21.64. Pages, which is I guess sort of like word, is the same amount. I did not need keynotes, which is presentation software.

Re: reading with text edit
Hi, TextEdit is built into the MacOS X operating system, and can be found in the Applications folder. So, yes, it is free, since it is installed with every Mac. It's used primarily to create or read text documents, which can either be plain text or rich text format. What may be of more interest to you, although May did not mention it, is that in TextEdit VoiceOver will read all sorts of special characters, including special math symbols, and characters for languages with non-Latin alphabets, even if you don't have voices for those languages (e.g., Greek alphabet, Cyrillic alphabet for Russian and other slavic languages), also emoji characters, etc. And if you select text in a Word document with an embedded table that VoiceOver wouldn't otherwise read out, and send use the New TextEdit Window Containing Selection service menu option (which you can enable by checking this option under System Preferences Keyboard Keyboard Shortcuts for Services), then VoiceOver will read all text (including the tables) in that document from the TextEdit window. As an aside, if anyone is interested in using TextEdit to copy over special characters, like emoji characters for messages, I wrote a description of how to do this in the AppleVis site's Forum just a day ago. Look under the OS X Mac App Discussion thread titled using the special character itim pallet. I don't use the character palette for emoji, but you can get special math symbols or Cyrillic or Greek alphabet letters easily copied with this method of opening a TextEdit file and bringing up the Character Palette with Command-Option-T.

Re: reading with text edit
Hi Gerard, If you are using Rich Text mode, TextEdit has a feature for creating tables, but you'd be better off using a dedicated application like Numbers. Many people find Daniel Schwill's Tables application more intuitive to use, especially in the way that it references cells. This is the application that we had before Numbers added VoiceOver accessibility, so there was VoiceOver user input to the developer. You might like that better unless you're a power user of spreadsheets, since Tables doesn't have good support for pivot table functions, etc. You can get a trial download from: http://www-x-tables.eu/ And I think he also offers an educational discount.

Re: reading with text edit
You really can't break anything on the Mac unless you really go out of the way to try. Just take it little by little and choose small battles first. Also, don't fall back on your Windows mindset or expectations as you use the Mac. Learn the Mac and VoiceOver as a different OS and screen reader. It's no different than when you learned Windows. Keep that in perspective as you go along. Take Care John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com On Jun 9, 2012, at 7:15 PM, Kimsan wrote: Thanks John.

Re: reading with text edit
Hi May, first of all I would advise interacting with the document in question because if you was going through it line by line, if you did a say all with Command A, voiceover will start from the very top. This is why when I'm working with documents, I always interact with it 1st because then whenever I do the say all command no matter where I am in the document Voiceover will read from that current position and will keep track of it when you stop. This is how I deal with documents and I hope it helps you. LOL I remember what it was like in the beginning. I should mention that I don't use Text Edit.

I use a app called Bean but I'm making an educated guess that it will apply to any text/word Daniel On 3 Jun 2012, at 20:36, May McDonald wrote: Ok, for the life of me I can't remember how to do this. Shows how often I use this program. How do you get text edit to read from top of the document? Also, once you stop it how to resume it from where you left off. Control, command b is not it.

Re: continuous reading in text edit
Hello Mary, I suspect that you have TextEdit set to Wrap to Page, rather than Wrap to window. To change this setting, just press Cmd-Shift-W.

Hi Ian, I did interact with my multi-page text document. If I didn't do that, it wouldn't read at all.

Re: continuous reading in text edit
Hi Mary, interact with the text area first, then do the say all command.

Re: continuous reading in text edit
This is just a thought, try going in to the view menu and hiding things like the tool bar, basically hide everything you can in this menu and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes these elements can draw the focus away from the main text. On Oct 25, 2010, at 11:05 AM, Mary Otten wrote: Hi Ian, I did interact with my multi-page text document.

continuous reading in text edit

Re: continuous reading in text edit
that's odd as mine does that ok. never had to do anything to make it read the whole thing you could try interacting with the document and see if that makes any diffrence.

Reading with Text Edit?
I am running with snowy version 10.6.2, and, I have all updates installed. However, I continue to have problems reading files with text edit. I can navigate fine using up down left right etc. However, any time I stop, if I do any function other than that, the cursor seems to jump back to the beginning of the file. So, if I ever hit VO-A to start reading to end, of course, it starts reading at the beginning. It isn't just vo-A that does this, it's doing any function at all. I have already tried turning off cursor tracking and messing around with the preferences in tex edit, nothing seems to work. This doesn't appear to be true with all files, but, certainly, with most of them. yes, I have tried saving as a RTF file and other things like that, still no joy! Does anyone have any pointers on this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Reading with Text Edit?
Hi Before I start typing or reading in any text application, I always interact with the edit area. This seems to provide better results. You interact with VO +Shift +Down arrow. Also, in Text Edit, I've found that selecting the option wrap to window seems to improve things quite a bit too. Text Edit has the ability to read many file formats including .doc and .docx the Office 07 native format. There should be no need for you to convert the file types.

Re: Reading with Text Edit?
James: It's amazing, I know all about interacting, but, sometimes, I forget that it's something you should try before putting out emails, hm! I did interact with the text and turned on wrap to window, it seems to be reading much better. However, now, it's putting blank lines in strange places and in others, blank lines seem to be missing so that lines are run together. Originally, this was an office 97 file in .doc format. I changed it to RTF because, I was thinking, they might be using a strange font or something. Anyway, other than the blank line weirdness, when interacting with the text, it does seem to read ok. Thanks for the heads up on this 1. On Nov 15, 2009, at 2:36 PM, James Nash wrote: Hi Before I start typing or reading in any text application, I always interact with the edit area.
