Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

OS X is decidedly the technically superior OS, but alas, I am back to running with the herd now, despite the inconveniences and compromises that you naturally get in exchange for the over-promised and under-delivered features and customisation in Windows, and contrary to the bizarre idea that a

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

Hello Eileen, Label prints are best done from Contacts where you can select a whole group of addresses to be printed. The instructions are in my previous message. The only thing that Pages brings to envelopes is little logos to make them more decorative. I prefer plain and simple which is what

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

Hello Eileen, For printing envelopes, Pages has a number of templates, but I prefer to use Contacts for this as it’s much more flexible. When it comes to header styles, there are 3 levels provided by default, but you can define as many as you like. You can set up to 8 short cuts for paragraph

Hi all, I wanted to dive in on this conversation. Since I got the mac back 6 years ago, I have exclusively used voice over. With tries and certain frustrations with android, but the latter device has its own potential. Huge one in fact. Back to the mac. Since the inception of voice over device

Hello, Unless I missed something when I downloaded a trial of Pages, I didn't see any method on how to print an envelope or labels. I am self employed and need to send originals via snail mail. Also, when I prepare training materials, I use various level style headers and I don't think I saw th

I know this will not help, and it may be too late for some, but I read somewhere, probably on this list, that it is hoped that the 2015 version of Microsoft Office released later on in the year will be accessible on this platform. Outlook already is in its 2011 form so Microsoft must be making a

Re: The switch from Microsoft to Apple

What is needed is an accessible version for MS Word on the Mac. Many of us must use word for work and school, and need to be able to use it on the MAC. I wonder why we can't get Microsoft to commit to giving an accessible version as it has done on the IOs platform? > On Jan 5, 2015, at 10:37 PM,

Me neither. I still like some voices that you can't get on the Mac like Ivona and Neospeech, particularly James. Though Ivona keeps promising that they are working on bringing their voices to the Mac, I'll believe it when I see it. I think that all of us who like their voices should keep botheri
