Pages will do that, but if you are not dealing with Word documents, but only want to deal with txt files, there are other, free options like PlainText 2. If you want to be able to edit and save word documents, then Pages is the one you want. Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch 5th gen)

RE: Any ideas of the timeframe for new iPod Touch?

2014-01-08 Thread Richard Turner
If Apple's history is anything to go by, they seem to release a new touch about every two years in the Fall. If that pattern holds, then there might be a new touch in September or October. That is, of course, pure speculation. I've seen nothing rumored out there at all. Richard From:

You want to zip the files, not a folder. Make sure they are named sequentially so Voice Dream knows to treat each file as a chapter. The name of the zip file will become the name of the book. I have an abridged reading of the Hobbit and I made sure each file has a leading 0 for single digit

Since you are getting the files from iTunes, are you sure they are mp3 and not m4a or m4b files? Voice Dream only supports mp3 files. That would explain the zero time on some books if the files are not a type voice dream recognizes. Richard (Sent from Richard's iPod Touch 5th gen) On Jan 17,

Actually, you should be able to just copy them over. First, make sure iTunes is not set to load automatically when you plug in an iDevice. You do not need iTunes for this. Take a picture with the iPad to make sure you have one photo on it already, though that may not be necessary. Plug the USB
