I don’t know if there is anything there, but try going to www.applevis.com http://www.applevis.com/ and doing a search for word processors for the mac. Currently, I am doing ok with pages, but some things could be simpler to handle. Thanks and HTH On Apr 11, 2015, at 10:23 PM, sadam Ahmed

My favorite full word processing app is Nisus Writer. Not free at all but very thorough. You should be able to o anything you need with it. It’s not in the App store so you’ll need to Google it. On Apr 11, 2015, at 4:03 AM, Sadam Ahmed sadamahmed1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Have tried
