Re: Word Processing on the mac

Textedit can do most of that quite easily. However, you might also try the Mac version of Libre Office. Also, Microsoft Office is mostly accessible on their Mac version, but costs a pretty penny to purchase. -Eric > On Apr 4, 2018, at 4:32 AM, Brian Howerton wrote: >

Choosing a mail folder in Microsoft Outlook for Mac

One of my accounts needs to be accessed via Microsoft Outlook (i.e., the Exchange support in Apple Mail won't work with it). Fortunately, Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac is quite accessible. I notice, however, that some functions are tedious to perform via the keyboard. A good example is selecting

Just responding to another aspect of this, Microsoft Word for Mac now identifies heading and paragraph styles correctly when you use the Ctrl-Option-T VoiceOver command. Pages has supported this for a while; Microsoft seem to have caught up. > On Apr 4, 2018, at 07:32, Brian Howerton

Microsoft word question
