Hello, everyone,

I thought some others might want to know, if you are not already aware, that 
the new TextEdit Window Containing Selection command does not reproduce things 
as faithfully as they otherwise could be reproduced.

A couple of examples:

1.  When selecting otherwise unreadable information and doing a new TextEdit 
Window Containing Selection command, while the header information is then 
readable, its formatting is not precisely preserved.  There is one line, which 
is fine, but then on the second line there is information on the left hand 
side, in the center, and on the right hand side.  TextEdit places these bits of 
text on their own lines and places then to the left, in the center, and on the 
right, as would otherwise be the case.  The issue comes, however, when putting 
this information into the header section of a new document (I translate 
documents, so I have to place the translation into the header with the 
formatting done correctly).  The Left justified, centered, and right justified  
text elements need to all be on the same line, and I have no idea how to 
accomplish this, but more importantly no awareness that this is what TextEdit 
was trying to represent by having the text all on separate lines.

Also, if a Word document is opened in TextEdit, bullet points are changed, 
along with minor formatting issues.  One, however, is not so minor.  It took 
centered text, which Voiceover will not report in Pages, and left justified it 
on TextEdit.

I learned the hard lesson today that I rely too much on TextEdit and not enough 
on Pages.  TextEdit likes to change certain elements that I do not want changed.

Does anyone have thoughts on the header issue?  Has anyone else come across 
this before?

Thanks,

Harry
