Sarah, There are alternatives. if Textedit's robustness falls short of what you need, nisus writer pro should do the trick but There is a lot of stuff that vo does not show in word processing even though there are a ton of keyboard shortcuts and you can do a lot. A braille display helps a lot though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sara" <push649@xxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 12:04 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Word Processors I use Microsoft Word for all my essays and other university stuff. Can I use text edit for this or should I invest in apple's word processor Pages or should I invest in microsoft office for mac?
