Hi Cindy, Thanks for clarifying this. Unfortunately, Word for Mac is not accessible, so it looks like if I'm going to use the Mac at all, it's going to be IWork.

No. txt doesn't keep breaks. When I download something that purports to be rtf sometimes it turns out to be txt and it's unreadable. I change it to Word (Microsoft Word for the Mac is one of the apps. I open the txt file with Word, then save it as as rtf or, if necessary I save it first as Word and then reopen it and save it a rtf. Thereafter when I open it is a Word file but I always save as rtf there seems to be no difference between rtf and Word HTH Cindy Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites below Wish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+List Books Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List --- On Wed, 7/22/09, Donna Goodin <i><goodindo@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: Donna Goodin <goodindo@xxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: anyone else using a Mac?

What word-processor do you work in to edit files? I tried to use Text Edit today, but I couldn’t tell if it was keeping the page breaks.

To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 2:40 PM Hi all, I have been giving some thought to moving from a PC to a Mac environment. I’ve had a Mac to work with the last week or so, but have mixed feelings about how it works with bookshare. Anyone else on this list using a Mac?
