Same comments as below really. I can use Nisus, Pages and Text Edit but formatting documents in terms of bulleted lists, heading levels, tables etc feels like something everyone knows but won't share. I do now have Office 2010 for Windows which I have installed under Fusion as unless someone can give some great tips word processing on the Mac often has as much use to me as a fancy notepad under windows. I am unable to read tables under Open Office, Nisus Writer and Pages as they show up as just imbedded and took to copying the document into a new mail message as it displays in a readable format. Sounds like any help would be appreciated by many! On 10 Apr 2011, at 17:50, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote: > This is something I too have wondered.
