Getting a simple text service that doesn't pop any kind of a dialog is pretty easy. However, if you need to show any dialogs, it gets a lot more complicated. If you need a (complex) example, this is a password manager that provides text services as part of what it does: http://sourceforge.net/projects/keychaindd/

I'm interested in creating a text service that would be available to
all cocoa applications.  Any advice / direction?  Thanks in advance.

I've never done it myself, but I would start with this:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SysServices/Tasks/using.html >

I found this by searching for "services" in the Xcode documentation window. (Actually Xcode found the local doc file and I converted the file:// URL to the online URL.)
