Re: Problem spell checking and selecting text in pages after update.

Hi, I'm not so sure it has to do with the OS update as with a Pages update. I updated pages a couple of weeks ago and now can't select text for editing. Gabe > On Oct 4, 2017, at 5:49 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > Yes, the selecting in Pages as been mentioned here

Hi! Robobraille.org is quite self-instructive. I think you can send a mail also attaching the pdf to conv...@robobraille.org and in the subject-line type rtf or whatever format you want it converted to. /A > 4 okt. 2017 kl. 18:28 skrev Michael Busboom : > > Hello, Mary, > >

Re: Circumventing reading PDFs on the Mac?

Hello everyone, Although I can read many PDFs on the Mac, I find the process sometimes „clunky.“ I know that there are services out there that allow you to send them a PDF file and they will email an RTF version back to you. My problem is that I haven’t used any of these services in years,
