Thanks Ann, I'm probably going to give Pages a try. I've been using Word and am very happy with it, but I want some fluency with word processing on the Mac as well. - Original Message - From: "Anne Robertson" To: Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 2:35 PM Subject:

Hello Phil, You don't need a word processor to print envelopes, Contacts (or Address Book on earlier versions of OS x) will do the job. You can also set up label prints with it. However, Pages does offer a choice of envelope templates should you prefer that solution. Cheers, Anne On 18 Jan

How well does Pages do envelopes? That's one of the things I like most about Word. If Pages will do envelope printing, then I think I'll give it a try. - Original Message - From: "Scott Davert" To: Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 8:31 AM Subject: Re: Accessible

Hi. I think I converted the manual to epub file, and when I could search in that file in ibooks on my IPhone. I have tried more wordprocessors. Textedit can be used, if you need to simple text editing. To me it would be enough in most cases. I am using nisus writer pro sometimes, especially if

If all you are looking to do is basic word processing, I'd say Text Edit should work fine. Although, iText Express is free as far as I can remember, so if you're not getting enough out of Text Edit, you may want to give it a try. Best of luck, Scott On 1/17/13, Becky Knaub wrote: > You could use

Hi there If your main thing is RTF files, it is very likely that TextEdit will work for you. What you might want to do, is start out with text edit, and then if you need Pages, you can get it. To get it you just go to the app store. I paid a big $21.64 for mine,. Regards Gigi Sent from my iPho
