> Pages is in general a more powerful word processor than text edit.  Text edit will do quite a lot of things though, so check it out and see if it does what you need.  I used pages extensively in graduate school to write my papers for class etc.  It is trickier to learn but still not terrible.

I talked to a blind friend, and he said that microsoft word didn't work well with VoiceOver. My dad bought me the program for Christmas, and I would appreciate getting some of your opinions before I install it. Thanks in advance for any input. I hope all of you had a merry, merry Christmas!
