#MAC WORDSERVICE REFORMAT MAC OS X#

It was so successful that it hardly changed during the time that NEXTSTEP and OPENSTEP were being released. This was a small (but useful) Plain and Rich Text based text editor which, while short on features, was still a very useful application (and had the essentials for reading the previously included documents). NeXT still needed to include something (as all the included documentation was written in RTF) so they made Edit. When NeXT first supplied NEXTSTEP to it's users, it bundled an application called WriteNow (NeXT's first commercial application), but dropped it from the bundle to make the environment more appealing to third party developers (NeXT wanted WordPerfect ported to NEXTSTEP as it was the standard for word processors at the time). Lets start by looking at what came before TextEdit. Still, a complete reading of the page may actually prove helpful.

Given that, if you are using Mac OS X, you'll want to scroll down the page to get to the features version of TextEdit that came with the version of Mac OS X you are currently using (and Links to resources are listed at the bottom of this page). So to a degree, the early part of this page is going to seem like a historical look at TextEdit (unless you are like me and still use OPENSTEP today). it is going to both look at TextEdit in all it's forms and discuss the features of each version along with available helpers for them. This page is going to be a little different. This page is a further extension of my original (but dated) TextEdit page.
