I simply run it from a terminal (it invokes a separate window) and use it with 
my screen reader of choice. Since I mostly rely on the braille display while 
editing, the fact that the speech output isn’t ideal doesn’t matter. I could 
install Emacspeak if I wished - the same on the Mac, too.

The only thing is Nisus doesn’t make it possible to work and access tables. 
Great drawback.

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.

Are they still using a patched version of GNU Screen for this on the Mac, or is 
there a better solution now? I’m on the BRLTTY list, so I could certainly ask 
there too.

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 you 
also considered Markdown or one of its variations?

No, I generally don't convert LaTeX to Word format. However, there are good
converters to HTML, which Microsoft Word can read. There's also a converter to
RTF. If you're careful in writing the LaTeX, Pandoc can actually convert to
MS-Word format directly.

Hello Leo,

I believe you are the one who just introduced yourself?

The Macintosh has several commands in the file menu, but it does get a 
little confusing with Apple applications because documents are often 
automatically saved every few minutes or so by default.


There should be an export option in the file menu to save as a 
Microsoft Word document. Currently I am working on an older system and 
I also changed my file menu so that the that it is more like older 
Macintoshes and other systems with a Save / Save As menu items. Also 
note that in 97 percent of Macintosh applications the keystrokes are 
standardized for Save, Save As, Find, Cut, Copy, Paste undo, redo.


So these keystrokes should work in your applications that are not Web 
based applications. (run in Safari).


Enjoy!

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.

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.

Is there a way to get braille working with Emacs under Mac OS? It’s fine under 
Linux or Windows, but VoiceOver and the Mac terminal don’t interact well.

Re: Word Processing on the mac

[Leo Bado]

hi, this topic interests me,

I really want to know how to use pages and for this matter I want to 
create a document and then export it to .doc but I can’t find the file 
tab to do this, most likely I’m going on the wrong way and need some 
help here.

Re: Word Processing on the mac

[Devin Prater]

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.

Re: Word Processing on the mac

['Jason White' via MacVisionaries]

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 in LaTeX or Markdown using a text editor, then convert the
document into whatever format I need. On the Mac, TextMate has proven to be
fairly accessible with VoiceOver. It was recently pointed out on another list
that TeXShop (specialized for writing LaTeX, and available by installing
MacTeX) works well with VoiceOver too.

Re: Word Processing on the mac

Hi Anne,
I believe I have your book on pages.  Would there be a way that you could send 
me your lessons on pages?  Do you have those as documents?  In reading the 
chapter on footnotes in pages, I’m a little confused as to how that works, but 
if I had practical examples on how to practice some of these concepts, it would 
help.  Thanks,
Brian

Re: Word Processing on the mac

[Anne Robertson]

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 they character 
or paragraph styles which can save a lot of time.
Cheers,

Anne

Hello there,

There are a couple of good ones.  You of course have your Microsoft products

responsive if one needs help.

Hello:
You are in a list where you can find very good advice of expert mac users, but 
I can tell you that there are a lot of work arounds on what you are saying. I 
use iWork with no trouble each day more. The more you use it, the more 
comfortable you will feel with it. It is just about learning a new way of doing 
things.
Take care!

word processing on the mac

[richard watson]

Good morning listers,
I have recently purchased an imac. Thus far I have moved my email to
it, used it for my itunes to manage media, and browse the internet. I
will move my pc over to it using vmware fusion.
the question is this: what are the most accessible word processing
programs out there. I need some access to doing columns and tables.
Obviously I would like to move this part of my life to mac but wonder
if I've got to keep that part in my windows vm.
I serve a local church as their pastor and am doing bulletins and the like.
btw the church website if you are interested is
www.leisenringpresbyterianchurch.org.
thanks for any advice.
I have listen to Mike's mac podcasts on blindcooltech and would like
to hear feedback on my various options.

Re: word processing on the mac

[carolyn Haas]

Hi Richard:
For word processing, the recommended apps are in the iWork suite, that includes 
pages, numbers and keynote.  The simplest app to work with is text edit.  But, 
I'm not sure how well it would handle columns or tables.

Finally, while you can't use MS Office for Mac, there is something called open 
office that people are successfully using.  I don't have much info about this 
program either. But, you may find more info in the archives of Macvisionaries.

 Hi Richard:
 For word processing, the recommended apps are in the iWork suite, that
 includes pages, numbers and keynote.  The simplest app to work with is text
 edit.  But, I'm not sure how well it would handle columns or tables.

 Finally, while you can't use MS Office for Mac, there is something called
 open office that people are successfully using.  I don't have much info
 about this program either. But, you may find more info in the archives of
 Macvisionaries.

 Good morning listers,
 I have recently purchased an imac. Thus far I have moved my email to
 it, used it for my itunes to manage media, and browse the internet. I
 will move my pc over to it using vmware fusion.
 the question is this: what are the most accessible word processing
 programs out there. I need some access to doing columns and tables.
 Obviously I would like to move this part of my life to mac but wonder
 if I've got to keep that part in my windows vm.
 I serve a local church as their pastor and am doing bulletins and the
 like.
 btw the church website if you are interested is
 www.leisenringpresbyterianchurch.org.
 thanks for any advice.
 I have listen to Mike's mac podcasts on blindcooltech and would like
 to hear feedback on my various options.

Re: word processing on the mac

[carolyn Haas]

Hi Richard:
Sadly, I haven't had to work with those a lot, and I've barely begun to make 
friends with Pages.  However, there are some tutorials, including Ricardo's 
Apple to the core, series which I believe may address this.  If you search 
Macvisionaries archives, I'm almost certain there have been discussions about 
it.  Sorry I can't be more helpful.
