Thanks for this man, I appreciate it. Did you download from the mac app store or from their website? I did download it, but the only thing that I saw that was dimmed was the footnote feature. Thought that was strange though, but didn’t know if you could shed any light on this. I’ve just been having a look around. Looks very accessible with voiceover. I am assuming that I can go ahead and hide the ruler since it looks like every thing you need is in the menus. Are you able to actually create your own paragraph styles like you could in microsoft word? For example, for my papers in college, I have to write in Terabian format, so was wondering if I could create paragraph styles for my default paragraph style and also for my heading styles and things like that. For citations and bibliographies, I am assuming that you have to manually create your own citations and bibliography/works cited page. Looks very good though with voiceover. I was very impressed. I could see myself using this over pages possibly. Is there a manual to learn how to use the word processor? I read the read me first document, but was curious to see if there was a manual for learning how to use it. Thanks for recommending and turning me on to this. I had never heard of it before. Much appreciated.
