4 For everyone I ve ever convinced to switch to using Macs. Lynn

5 Acknowledgments Without the positive attitude, attention to detail, and consummate skill of everyone who worked on this book, it would not be the polished and, I hope, useful work it is. Thanks so much to Cliff Colby for thinking of me for this revision, Valerie Haynes Perry for her precision indexing, Maureen Forys and Craig Woods for fitting it all together, and Liz Welch for helping me make sure everything I m trying to say says what I want it to say. And yeah, I wrote that that way and this this way just to tease you, Liz. Thank you, you ve all made this book so much better. And finally, Drew, thank you for everything. iv

14 4 Goals Find and replace words or phrases Create favorite styles for quick formatting Take advantage of the Complete feature Turn on typographer s quotes Become familiar with tabs and indents Create lists and simple tables Create live web or links Select noncontiguous text Print page numbers Learn how to open Microsoft Word documents and save TextEdit files as Word docs

15 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing TextEdit is a small yet surprisingly powerful word processor. Use it to write memos, letters, diaries, novels, grocery lists, memoirs, or any other text document. You can create simple tables and automatically numbered or bulleted lists, add shadows to type, insert images, search and replace text, and more. But it s not a fullblown word processor such as Apple s Pages (check the App Store in your Dock). Although TextEdit can t do all the fancy things a big word processor can, it s excellent for many projects. If you ve never used a word processor before and you don t know how to open an application and save files, enter text, select text for formatting, cut/copy and paste, etc., please read The Little Mac Book first! This lesson assumes you know the basics of working in a word processor. 57

16 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Create and Save a TextEdit Document Open TextEdit (it s in your Applications folder and in Launchpad). Then from its File menu, choose New. A blank window opens for you to start typing. Choose how you want to see the document: From the Format menu, choose Wrap to Window (below, left) or Wrap to Page (below, right). Wrap to Window fills the page with no visible margins. Wrap to Page displays the text as it will look when printed on paper. Save your document as usual (from the File menu, choose Save, give it a name, and store it in a folder where you ll find it again). As you continue to work on your TextEdit document, the word Edited appears to the right of the document s name in the window. This is a visual clue that the document has been changed and you might want to save the changes (press Command S). Once you edit a file, TextEdit lets you know when there are unsaved changes. The file displays a disclosure triangle when you mouse over its title. Click Edited or the triangle to use several options related to naming and saving your file: Locked checkbox prevents further changes. If you try to type, you get an option to Unlock it. This is not a secure lock anyone can click the Unlock button. Name is where you can give this new document a name. Tags let you add a tag so you can find this file more easily. See Lesson 16. Where is a dropdown menu that lets you pick from top-level folders to save this document in. Choose Other... from this menu to save your file in a specific folder. 58

17 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing AutoSave and versions TextEdit automatically saves your document every hour as you work on it, as well as when you close it (it doesn t ask it just saves). In addition, you can (and should) save more often (press Command S). As soon as you save and name a document, TextEdit keeps track of all previous versions of that document; that is, every time you save or TextEdit saves, a new version is stored. You can return to any of these versions, as explained below. To manually save the current version, go to the File menu and choose Save, or press Command S. To save a document with another name or in another file format, go to the File menu and choose Duplicate. Save this new file with a new name. Restore a previous version To turn to a previous version of the document, go to the File menu and choose Revert To to get the menu shown below. Choose Browse All Versions. All previous versions of your document appear, as shown at the bottom of this page. Click on the title bars to go back in time to previous versions, or click in the vertical timeline to view various versions. When you find the one you want, click the Restore button at the bottom of the screen. The current document version. Previous document versions. Timeline. 59

18 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Rename a document New documents in TextEdit are named Untitled by default. When you save a document in TextEdit (choose Save from the File menu), you are prompted with the Save dialog box and given the chance to assign your document a name other than Untitled. When you save a document, change the name from Untitled to something more descriptive. You can always change the name of a document, even one you ve saved, at any time. If you forgot to give your document a name the first time you saved it, or if the current name ought to be changed to more accurately reflect the contents of the file, click the disclosure triangle that appears when you mouse over the document s title and change the Name text field. To rename a document, click the arrow and type in the Name field. The title of the document becomes editable. Type the new name of the document and press Return. When you choose Rename..., the title of the document highlights and becomes editable. Start typing the new title you want to give your document. Press Return when you re finished. Keep in mind that when you change the name of your document, it changes the name for all previous document versions as well. 60

19 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Move a document If you want to save the current document in a different location, you can use the Finder to drag it from one place to another. But TextEdit offers you a shortcut. With the document you wish to move open in TextEdit, click the triangle that appears when you mouse over the document s title and choose the Move To... option. You can also move your file by changing the folder in the Where menu when you click the disclosure triangle. If the folder you want isn t in that menu, click Other... Click the Where select box to locate the folder where you want to move your file. If the folder you want isn t in the Where menu, click Other... at the bottom of this menu. With the document you wish to move open in TextEdit, go to the File menu and choose the Move To... option. Click the Where select box and choose the folder where you want to move the file. If you ve activated your icloud account (learn how to set up your icloud account in Lesson 23), you can store your document remotely and access it with other Apple devices. Duplicate a document When you save or move a document, you still have a single copy of the original document. If you need an additional copy of the document, use the Duplicate option. As with Rename... and Move To..., the Duplicate option is available in the File menu. Click and choose Duplicate. A copy of your original document opens in another TextEdit window. The new document is untitled, but displays the original document s title with the word copy after it, as shown below. Save the copy by choosing the Save option as discussed at the beginning of this lesson. When you duplicate a document, a copy of the original document opens in a new TextEdit window. The title bar indicates that it s a copy of the original document. 61

20 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Find and Replace Words or Phrases Did you write your entire novel using a name that you no longer think suits your main character, such as Smith? And now you ve come up with a better name, and need to replace the character s last name with Scrooge? No problem: 1 From the Edit menu, choose Find and then Find, or press Command F. A search field appears below the ruler bar. 2 Click the Replace checkbox to open a Replace text field below the search field. 3 In the Find field, type the word you want to find, such as Smith. 4 In the Replace field, type the word or phrase that will replace the found word, such as Scrooge. 5 Find and replace: Replace: Replaces the currently selected occurrence of the word or phrase, then automatically finds the next occurrence. All: Replace all occurrences of the found text. Press (don t click) on the All button to see more options. To manually find other occurrences of the text, click the Previous and Next buttons. For more search options, click the small double-arrows next to the magnifying glass icon on the left side of the window. 6 Click Done to put the Find and Replace fields away. Previous and Next buttons. Click for more search options. Press to show more replace and select options. Insert Pattern opens a menu of search criteria that includes searches for , web addresses, or phone numbers. 62

21 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Paste Text to Match the Existing Text This is one of my favorite features. Let s say you re writing a term paper and you copy a quote from a web page to add to your paper (properly cited, of course). Typically the copied text pastes in with the typeface, style, size, and color that were originally applied to it. But to add this quotation to your term paper, you want it to look like the rest of your page. Use this great feature instead of the regular paste: From the Edit menu, choose Paste and Match Style, or use the keyboard shortcut, Option Shift Command V. The pasted text will pick up all the formatting from the character to the left of the flashing insertion point. This technique works in Mail as well. Use Your Favorite Text Styles Easily TextEdit doesn t have the powerful style sheets of a full-blown word processor, but it does make your writing life much easier by letting you create favorite styles of basic type features so you can apply them quickly. A style contains all of the formatting information, such as typeface, size, color, indents, etc., so you can apply everything to selected text with one click of a button. These styles are saved with TextEdit, not with an individual document, so you can use the same styles in different documents. To create your own favorite style: 1 Type some text, any text, and set up the typeface, size, color, linespace, and the ruler the way you want it. 2 Click anywhere in that formatted text. 3 Click the Paragraph Styles button, then choose Show Styles. 4 In the sheet that slides down (right), click the button Add To Favorites. 5 Name the style and choose your options. Click Add. To apply a style, select a range of characters, then choose the style name from the Paragraph Styles pop-up menu in the toolbar. All of the formatting that you saved with that style will be automatically applied to the selected text. 63

22 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Tabs and Indents The tab and indent markers in TextEdit function as in any word processor. To set a right-aligned tab, single-click in the ruler. To set any other tab, Control-click (or right-click) in the ruler and choose a tab marker (shown below), or double-click a marker to change it. To remove a tab, drag the marker off the ruler. To indent just the first line of text or both the left and right edges, drag the indent markers shown below. First lines of paragraphs start at this First Line Indent marker. These are your tab options. All lines but the first one in a paragraph start at this Left Indent marker. The right edge of text stops at this Right Indent marker. Examples of tab and indent settings The following are some examples of how to set up your tabs and indents to create certain effects. Remember, after you ve set a tab, hit the Tab key before you type the text. Once you ve got tabs set up, you can select the text, then move the tab and the selected text will follow. The tab applies only to the selected paragraphs you only need to click inside a paragraph to select the entire paragraph. To select more than one paragraph, press and drag to highlight a range of text in each paragraph. Follow the directions as explained in each window and its caption. To create an indent, drag the First Line Indent marker to the right. The rest of the text will automatically align at the Left Indent marker. 64

23 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing To creat an outdent, where the first line is outdented farther than the other lines: Move the Left Indent marker (the triangle) to the right of the First Line Indent marker. To indent an individual paragraph on both sides: Select the paragraph, then move both the Left Indent and the Right Indent markers inward. To create columns: Remove all tabs except the few you need, and reposition those about where you want the columns to align. Now hit ONE tab to move the insertion point to the first column, and type. Hit ONE more tab to get to the second column, etc. At the end of the line, hit a Return and start over. This is a common setup. It might seem a little tricky at first, but once you get it, you ll love knowing how to do it. Set the markers as shown and follow the directions. 65

24 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Create Lists that Number Themselves If you have a list of items, TextEdit can number them for you with numbers, capital or lowercase letters, or other options. When you add or delete items from the list, TextEdit automatically updates the numbering. List bullets and numbering button. List options. When you click the List button (circled above) and choose a numbering option, the numbers apply to either of the following: If you select text on the page before you go to the Lists menu, your choice of list numbering will apply only to the selected text. If there is no selected text, the flashing insertion point is filled with the list specifications, and everything you type from that point on will be in the list format. This is a good way to start a new list: Just make sure your insertion point is flashing where you want the list to begin, then go to the List menu and choose your numbering system, then start typing. Each time you hit a Return, TextEdit considers that line to be the next item in the list. To end the sequencing of numbers in a list, hit the Return key twice at the end of the last item. To delete the list numbers, single-click anywhere in the list. Open the Lists menu and choose None. To easily access the advanced List options after you ve started a list, click anywhere within a list, then Control-click (or right-click) in the list to show a contextual menu and choose List. 66

25 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Create Tables If you like working with tables, you can create simple ones in TextEdit. This table feature also helps ensure that tables created in a Word document will open in some form in TextEdit. To create a table in TextEdit: 1 Position your insertion point where you want the table to begin. 2 Go to the Format menu and slide down to Table. 3 The Table palette appears, as shown below. Choose how many rows and columns you want in the table. You can determine how the text is aligned vertically as well as horizontally in each cell (use the Alignment icons), and more. Spend a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the tools. If you don t want any border, enter 0 (zero). Click the color well to get the Colors panel. First choose Color Fill from the menu to the left, then click the well to choose a color. As you type in a cell, the cell expands downward to fit the text. Change the formatting of the text as you do on a regular TextEdit page: Select the text first, then choose the settings from the menus or toolbar. 4 To resize rows and columns, position your pointer over the edge of a cell. The pointer turns into a two-headed arrow. With that two-headed arrow, press-and-drag on a cell edge to resize it. 67

26 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Print Automatic Page Numbers You can add page numbers to a printed document (the numbers won t appear on the screen). This feature also automatically adds the name of the document in the upper-left corner of the page (including the extension, probably.rtf), the date and time in the upper-right corner, and the words Page of in the bottom-right corner. That is, in TextEdit you can t choose one or the other of these they all appear on the page, or none. To print the page numbers (and everything else), press Command P (or go to the File menu and choose Print ). In the Print dialog box, shown below, left, click Show Details. In the expanded Print dialog (below, right), check the box Print header and footer. Click Print to print the document. To create a PDF that you can share with others, click here, then choose Save as PDF. Automatic Spelling Correction TextEdit can automatically correct many spelling errors as you type. To enable this feature, open the TextEdit Preferences (from the TextEdit menu). Make sure the New Document tab is chosen. Toward the bottom of the window, check the Correct spelling automatically box. Close the Preferences pane. If TextEdit can t figure out how to spell it or if automatic correction is turned on, you ll probably see a red dotted line under misspelled words. See Lesson 14 to learn to use the spell checker. 68

27 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Select Noncontiguous Text This is really quite wonderful. Contiguous means sharing a common border. Very few applications allow you to select individual sections of text that are not physically next to each other (text that is noncontiguous). This technique lets you apply formatting or copy, cut, or delete separate sections of text all at once. To select noncontiguous text: 1 Press-and-drag to select a section of text. 2 Hold down the Command key. Press-and-drag to select some other text that is not contiguous. A selection of noncontiguous text. 69

28 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Show Substitutions TextEdit Substitutions (from the Edit menu or contextual menu) makes automatic substitutions for you as you type. For instance, Text Replacement corrects obvious spelling mistakes (it substitutes the for teh, etc.) and turns a typed fraction, such as 7/8, into a real fraction, ⅞. Below are several of the other substitution options. Use typographer s quotes TextEdit provides typographer s quotes, or Smart Quotes. Smart Quotes (and apostrophes) are the curly quotes, not the straight, typewriter quotes. Nothing will make your work look as amateurish as typewriter quotes. typewriter quotes Smart Quotes It's "QueenB" to you. It s QueenB to you. The Substitutions panel provides extra options for Smart Quotes so you can activate automatic quotation styles for other languages. Turn Smart Quotes off when you want to type feet and inch marks for instance, I am 5' 7" tall, not 5 7 tall. To get this panel, go to the Edit menu, choose Substitutions, and then choose Show Substitutions. International quotation mark styles. Create live web links and links It s easy to create web links and links on a TextEdit page. If you send someone the TextEdit file, that person can click on a web link; her browser will open and go to the page you specify. An link in the document opens her program, pre-addressed to whomever you specified. If you make a pdf of your document (see page 75), the links will work in the pdf. Create links as you type web addresses: 1 Go to the Edit menu, slide down to Substitutions, then choose Smart Links. If there is a checkmark next to Smart Links, it s already on. 70

29 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Or Control-click in the document, slide down to Substitutions, then choose Smart Links. 2 On your TextEdit page, just type the web address. You don t need the www part of the web address, or the part. If the address ends with.com,.edu, or.org, the link appears automatically. You ll know if it s working because the text will turn into a blue, underlined link. If the domain (the.com part) is more unusual, such as.info, you ll have to manually add the link, as explained below. Sometimes the text on the page is not an actual address, but you want the link to go to an or web address. For instance, perhaps you wrote, Please visit our Mary Sidney web site, and you want the link attached to Mary Sidney to go to MarySidney.com, or you want to say me! as a link to your actual address. In either case, use the manual process described below to add a link. To manually create a web link or an link on a TextEdit page: 1 Type the text that you want to turn into a link. This text can be anything it doesn t have to be the or web address itself! 2 Select the text that you just typed in. 3 From the Edit menu, choose Add Link. 4 Web address: type the address. Make sure you include this code at the beginning of the web address: http: // Type into the field: mailto: Immediately after the colon, type the entire address just as you would address it: mailto:name@domain.com 5 Click ok. To remove a link from the text on a TextEdit page: 1 Click in the text a few characters away from the link to set the flashing insertion point. Use the left or right arrow keys to move the insertion point into the linked text. 2 From the Edit menu, choose Add Link. 3 Click Remove Link, then click ok. 71

30 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Use Data Detectors Data Detectors is one of several Substitutions available in TextEdit that enhance your text. The Data Detectors feature, like Smart Links, makes your text interactive. When you hover the cursor over a street address or phone number in a TextEdit document, the cursor draws a marquee around the address and/or phone number. Click the triangle button (circled, below) that appears to show a contextual menu of options. You will see different options depending on what is selected. Automatically detect address data in text. Show a map to the address. If it doesn t work, data detection might not be turned on. To turn on data detection, go to the Edit menu, choose Substitutions, then select the Data Detectors option. You can also Control-click (or right-click) on any empty spot in the document to open a contextual menu. Slide down to Substitutions, then choose Data Detectors. A checkmark next to a Substitution item means it is enabled; select it again to disable it. Change case (as in upper- and lowercase) The Edit menu also contains a command called Transformations to change the case of selected letters quickly and easily. That is, you can change a word that starts with a lowercase letter to one that starts with a capital letter, or if someone wrote you something in all caps you can change it to lowercase with the click of a button. Select some text and Control-click (or right-click) on that selection, or simply Control-click (or right-click) directly on an unselected word. From the Edit menu, go to the Transformations submenu and choose Make Upper Case, Make Lower Case, or Capitalize (which capitalizes just the first letters of each selected word). 72

31 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Extra Tips and Notes Ruler: If the ruler isn t showing, press Command R. Without the ruler showing, you can t set tabs, indents, or margins. Formatting: If text won t let you apply formatting, go to the Format menu and choose Make Rich Text. Wrap to Page: If text stretches the entire width of the window, you might want to switch to Wrap to Page. Go to the Format menu and choose Wrap to Page. If your text prints really tiny, go to the Format menu and change Wrap to Window to Wrap to Page. Complete: To automatically complete a word that you start typing (a word that you re not sure how to spell, or a word that s so long you don t want to type it all), go to the Edit menu and choose Complete, or use the keyboard shortcut Option Escape. A pop-up menu that contains a list of possible matches opens. Select the word you want from the list, then hit Return (or click the word in the list). Speech: Let your Mac read selected text to you aloud. Go to the Edit menu, choose Speech, then choose Start Speaking. To stop the speech, choose Stop Speaking. To read aloud just a certain portion of text, select that range of text, then choose the Start Speaking command. Look up words in the Dictionary: To look up a word (such as hegemony ) in the Dictionary, select the entire word or phrase, and then right-click on it to open a contextual menu and choose Look Up hegemony. If your trackpad supports multitouch gestures, double-tap the word with three fingers to look up the selected word, as shown below. 73

32 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Read Microsoft Word Files Do you need to send or read Microsoft Word files, but you prefer to keep a Microsoft-free environment on your own computer? TextEdit can open Word files and save as Word files. Some of the advanced features will be missing, but this works great for basic text documents, including those with simple tables or numbered/bulleted lists. If you don t have Microsoft Word installed on your Mac, filenames ending with.doc or.docx (which are usually Word files) automatically open in TextEdit when you double-click them. To force a Word document to open in TextEdit (if it doesn t automatically), drag the file and drop it on the TextEdit icon. If TextEdit is not in your Dock, it s in the Applications folder and in Launchpad: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock. Find the TextEdit icon, then drag and drop it in the Dock so it s always easily accessible. Change the default application to open Word files If you own Microsoft Word and want your.doc files to open in TextEdit, not Word, you can change the default application: 1 Control-click (or right-click) the Word document icon to get its pop-up menu. 2 While the menu is visible, also hold down the Option key. This changes the Open With command to Always Open With. 3 Choose Always Open With. You ll see TextEdit listed in the pop-out menu.

33 Lesson 4 TextEdit for Word Processing Save TextEdit files as Word docs You can save any TextEdit file as a Microsoft Word document to send to people who want it in that format. To save a TextEdit file as a Word document: 1 Go to the File menu (or the arrow to the right of the title, see page 60) and choose Duplicate. 2 Press Command S to save this duplicate. 3 In the File Format menu at the bottom of the dialog box, choose Word 2007 Format (docx). This automatically adds the Word extension,.docx, to the end of your filename. If you don t see an extension at the end of a filename and you want to click the disclosure button to the right of the Save As field (circled below). Uncheck the Hide Extension box. To show the extension, of course, check the box. To see the options shown here, single-click this button. If you have set your Finder preferences to show all filename extensions (Lesson 16), you won t see this checkbox. The File Format menu lets you save your files in several other formats. Keep this in mind. Save TextEdit files as pdfs From the File menu, choose Print, then click the pdf button (in the bottomleft corner of the Print dialog). Choose Save as pdf. 75
