Hi there is any one having trouble with the spell checker with iWork Pages. Every time I try to use the spell checker the programme quits. Suggestions? I like Pages better than Word and want to do all my word processing with Pages. Numbers and Keynote are also great but different to MS

Hi Darrel, Writing the draft text in Word should be fine. But for the actual printing (not that I've ever had a book published) I'd expect the publisher would have their staff reformat it in their own software before printing, so don't spend too much time using advanced formatting or converting

Hi Stuart, I agree, using Pages is so much more productive than using Word -- it's surprising how inefficient working in Word is. I think you have a rare problem with spell checking crashing. Pages uses the same spell check as all the other Apple apps (e.g., Mail). Do you have the same problem in

Hi, I don't think everyone would be affected by just one issue, there are probably at least a couple of different problems that affect different people. For example, Eugene's problem sounds like corrupt preferences or icons (move the relevant files and folders out of Library•) or an incomplete

How to make italics the default typing font in Apple Mail ?

2009-02-08 Thread Steven Knowles
I can't seem to get italics to reflect in the default font which is used by Apple Mail when typing an email. I assume this must be done via Apple Mail Preferences Fonts Colours Message Font Select... I can get the font type itself to change, but when I select italics, using for

italics is not a font, it's a font effect and normally you type in verdana then select the block to make it italics, then as i mentioned in a earlier posting, if the receiver has not verdana (or the same font set installed as you) then the letter/webpage/word doc/ pdf file will appear
