Good morning Zoe,
Moving things around in the Doc.
Try this.
While in the doc and while you are on something you want to move, press
option-command left and right arrows. On my system I hear no speech feedback
so you will need to check if it is moved where you want it but this may be
different with other iterations of the os.
finding a program you want in the doc. I use the item chooser, vokeys-i and
then type in the name of the thing you want to find like trash for example.
HTH.

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
Regards zoe

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.
Patrick

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?
