I use TextEdit for many things because it is absolutely the most useful tool in the shop. But it does have a few quirks.
1 When I copy text from webpages often the background color sticks with the text. ie I may have black type with a rectangle of yellow hilight behind it. How do I get rid of it, and seeing as it could be a useful attribute (For hi-lighting) how do I apply it within TextEdit? I have searched everywhere, even looked in "Help"
, but can't find where it is controlled.
2 How do you apply soft returns? I've tried all the usual keyboard short cuts and none seem to work, except a spill over of a tab.
3 How do you set hot links to URLs etc. and edit them? Other than drag aand drop them in.
4 Is it possible to make hyperlinks within a TextEdit document and maintain them when you turn it into a pdf file?
5 Is it possible yet to control page breaks and print margins?
Just a few of the many things that would add to the joy of TextEditing
