Nope, they still used a patched version of screen. I do wish some one could get BRLTTY into Homebrew, and Emacspeak for that matter, but ah well. This is what freedom gives us. > On Apr 6, 2018, at 7:29 PM, 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > > >>

There is also: https://cs.sharelatex.com/learn You are probably aware of this, but LaTeX is not a word processor in the Pages or Nisus Writer Pro sense of the term. It is not a case of CMD + B and your text will be bold etc. I am more than happy to help offlist if that would be useful. Have

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: >

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

You can also use Emacs, with Emacspeak, for writing. I’d recommend getting the latest Emacs from Homebrew, though. If anyone needs further details, I can give them. > On Apr 4, 2018, at 8:56 AM, 'Jason White' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > It's worth noting

Re: Word Processing on the mac

It's worth noting that the user interface of Microsoft Word for Mac (which seems to be quite accessible with VoiceOver) is different from that of the Windows version. So, having used the Windows version before won't provide much of an advantage in working with the Mac version. I generally write

Hello Brian, You should have Pages already on your Mac and it does everything you need for writing papers. I find it easier to use than MS Word but that may be because I’m not used to using Word, not having been a Windows user. In Pages, you can set up to 8 shortcuts for applying styles, be
