But Open Office is better than Bean, and it's by Sun. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to email) ~~~~~~ http://www.wacvet.com/ http://suzie-q-wacvet.com/

I don't know anything about Bean, but Text Edit is that thing that opens things that don't matter much than I have very little use for. Open Office opens some things my Mac stumbles over, so it IS useful. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo

If you want complex and heavy duty but are prepared to accept slower and clunkier, yes. Not if you want simple and quick. It is unreasonable to compare a fast small run about car with a truck. -- dorayme

Nicely put! In recent year, I have occasionally used it to write out detailed invoices. By the way, there is Tex-Edit Plus, this one is shareware. -- dorayme
