Hi,
Thanks for all those instructions. The ruler was set to show itself in the
preferences, so I'm not sure. I'm thinking that since you said it usually
won't show in plain text mode, that's my problem, though. So I should choose
a different document format?
Thanks for all your help,
Brianna

Hi,
If your ruler is not showing itself, you may have accidentally pressed cmd-r
which hides it. Try this:
1. Press cmd-comma to bring up your Preferences.
2. Make sure the New document tab is selected.
3. Navigate until you find the Show Ruler checkbox.
4. Make sure it is checked.
5. If the ruler still isn't showing after you return to the regular
TextEdit window, just Quit and re-open TextEdit and it should show itself.
Also note, that the ruler usually will not show when in Plain Text mode.

Hi Colin,
Thanks, that'll definitely help. But...I can't find the ruler. When I open
TextEdit, I'm interacting with the edit field. When I uninteract with
that, I see the regular close, zoom, minimize buttons, and I see untitled,
and the edit text field.
Where is the ruler located? I have seen it before, I just don't know how I
got to it.
Maybe there's a command I'm missing or something.
Thanks for your help,
Brianna

Hi Brianna!
When you've opened a new text edit window scroll to the ruler and
interact with it vo+space+down arrow or with quick nav just press down
the down+right arrows together and in there is a menu to change line
spacing and other stuff!
when you are done just stop interacting with vo+space+up arrow or with
quick nav left and down arrows together!
there is a command to bring up fonts command+t how you use it I'm not
sure!

Hi,
I just got a MacBook Pro about three weeks or so ago. I love everything
about it, all except one thing.
What I'm primarily using my window PC for now is writing papers. This
is because I can't figure out how to change the spacing to double, and
the font to times new Roman, and to size 12 from within TextEdit. I know
that the font changing can be done with the format menu, I think, but
I'm not sure how to do that, and save those changes to the document I'm
working on.
What I'm not sure can be done is double-spacing. If so, can anyone tell
me how to do this, and how to change the font?
Thanks,
Brianna
