A free Dropbox account would do this I think, so long as the machines are not
too old.

Zoe,
As far as having something you have on your mac to appear on your Windows
computer. If this is important to you you may want to set up an e-mail
address for your Windows computer and e-mail things from your mac to your
Windows computer. I know that this is an extra step but off the top of my
Head I can not think of another way to do it. Maybe some one will have a
better way of doing this.

Hi all thank you very very much for all your help. I did ask this question
on various email lists and putting all the answers together from the other
lists and this list of course what seems to work for me is the text edit
which is simple and wonderful enough for what I want to do. I did want
copies of these text documents in my notes app but I realized with text edit
through iCloud I can view these notes on my iPhone in the Files app I also
realize that if I want for some strange reason, these notes to be in my
notes app there’s no way of converting unless I manually copy paste the text
but with the Files app there’s no need to do that unfortunately I thought I
could view these files on my Windows laptop through the iCloud app as well
but that’s an issue for I guess a Windows list because I can’t find that app
anywhere on my windows laptop. I have another question which I’m assuming is
a simple one for Mac experts or a long time users. How can I re-order things
in my dock? Also in the dock I hear things such as finder one of 18 and if I
arrow right I hear the various items that are in my dock until I get to
something which the voiceover calls separator and then I hear trash and
downloads sometimes things I minimize are in that section after the
separator how can I get to that section quickly in the dock without having
to arrow across 20 times to get there? Thanks again for all your help

I don't use 'Notes' myself, however, you can open an rtf file in notes.
Under the file menu you will see the option to 'open with' and a list of
apps to select that should open the relevant file, this applies to all file
types.

Thank you very much for your answer. So if I choose rich text format can I
save it to my Notes app?

Hi Zoe, when you open an Application it will now be available in the Doc
and under doc options you can select to have it always available in doc.
Rich text format is good and simple
When first saving it should ask where you want it to be saved and it will
continue to be saved in that location.
You will also want to name the document, by default it is named
'untitled', if you press return when on a document you can now name it ,
press return again and the new name stays.

Hi Patrick and Keith thank you very much for your help.
Text edit was not in the doc for me. I did find it in my applications
folder. Again Google can sometimes be your best friend. I found the
command to move text edit into my dock. If I want my documents to be
viewed on my iPhone as well in that case should I be saving in rich text
format?. Also when I save these documents whether in plain text or rich
text will it ask me where I want to save them?

), Hello Zoe:
Welcome to the family.
It sounds like you are making fantastic progress with your new mac.
much success.
And, you live in a great city.
On your mac, you should have a program called text edit. if you open it
you will be presented with a ruler and an edit field, similar to the
way many word processors look.
In the menu bar, which you mentioned that you can navigate with ease
:), navigate to the edit option … arrow down and you will hear make
plain text … shift - command - T. press that and presto.
That command is a toggle so if you press it again, it will revert to
rich text format which is the text edit default.
Once it is set to plain text, save it and presto … you have done it.
I hope this information proves useful … please let us know and while
writing this I message came in from Keith addressing your question as
well. you are in good hands here :).
Take good care and I wish you enough.

Hello everybody, hope you are well, my name is zoe I am 49 years old,
married without children, and I live in Toronto Ontario Canada. I am a
newbie to the Mac and have 1000 questions. I do use Google to try to
find answers. I belong to a few mailing lists for the Mac and when one
of my question is answered I do save the email answer for future
reference. Coming from windows things on the Mac seem a lot more
complicated.
I understand how to navigate my menus, my dock, my desktop. I
understand how to expand and collapse disclosure triangles. I still
have a lot to learn. I hope some of you can help. Here is my first
question.
On the Mac is it possible to create a plain text document, anywhere or
do I have to be in the notes app? Coming from windows one of the
things I enjoyed very much was that I was able to create a new note
anywhere on my computer. In any folder, on the desktop etc. I like
creating notes for recipes, other important information, or even just
things to remember. I want to learn the Mac and I hope this can be
done on the Mac if not do you have any other suggestions?
