The cool thing is, it remembers this, so if I'm going to put some subheadings under here, like New and Old, it remembers that I want A) B) as the style for this list right here. Now to indent these again, I want to put tabs in front of them, I can also select these, and go ahead and format text, list, and go ahead and do something different, like say okay this is going to be a b c and I'll put a right paren after those. And then I'll get that converted to a list. So for instance, instead of a bullet I can choose the numbers, and I can put a suffix of like a period right there. So I'm just going to not have just a bullet there, I'm going to actually add something before and after it. I can select all this, go to Format, Text, List, and I get to select what I want to appear before each item. So for instance here's a list that's just a bunch of Macs, and I've gone ahead and tabbed all the Macbooks under the Macbook heading. I can also make some pretty good bullet lists inside of TextEdit. So there's a lot of things you can do in an advanced word processor, you can go ahead and do them right here in TextEdit, which comes with every Mac. I can also go ahead and select the top line there and bold it, and change other things in there like go ahead and change the fonts, and change the fonts of just that line, or I can go ahead and change it all. You can also use these other formatting tools like that, for instance I can select everything in the table there and go to format, text, spacing and increase the spacing a little bit. So I can choose some sort of light color like that. And I can also choose a cell background, and choose that color fill for it. So then I've created these, and I can go back into this palate here and I can do some modifications like for instance increase the Cell Border, and I want to select all of the cells in this case for my design, and increase it a little bit and I'm going to click on the color thing there and make it darker. And then there's only one USB Port on the Air and nothing' else. I can tab between these cells by the way, just like you can on a spreadsheet.

The Macbook Pro has two USB Ports, but also has a Firewire 800 Port. The Mac Pro I know has got five USB slots, I believe it has two Firewire 400 and I wanna say one Firewire 800, and then it's got three internal slots.Ī Macbook has two USB Ports, and nothing else.
The iMac I've got has three, two, zero and zero. Now to the left here I'm going to do the Mac Mini, gonna do the iMac, gonna do the Mac Pro, Macbook, and Macbook Pro, and the Air.Īnd I'm gonna go ahead and put in, I believe the Mini I've got has 3 USB Ports and two Firewire 400 ports, none of those, none of those. So let me go and say USB Ports as this column, and and Firewire 400, Firewire 800, and let's do Slots for expandability slots. I can change them as I go along, so they don't have to be perfect.
Now I'm thinking I'm going to probably have all six Macs represented in a heading, that's seven, and I'm thinking I'm going to need some more columns. And now I get to modify the default table that I created. And this will bring up this little palate here. So, "Mac Expandability."Īnd let's go ahead and create this table by simply clicking up here and choosing Text. Let's make a table about which Macs can be expanded using ports. This gives me all sorts of controls here at the top, that you can see you might find in a normal word processor. The first thing I want to do is make sure I'm editing a rich text document, not plain text. For instance, you can go ahead and create tables in it. I'm sick and tired of people putting it down, saying that it's nothing more than a simple text editor. So I've kind of adopted TextEdit as one of my favorite Applications.
