Tex-Edit Plus

Welcome to Tex-Edit Plus, my scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap between Apple's bare-bones SimpleText and a full-featured word processor! It is particularly useful for formatting text that is transmitted over the Internet. Tex-Edit Plus is small, fast, easy-to-use and requires little memory. Tex-Edit Plus is Shareware ($10).

With Tex-Edit Plus you can:

• Quickly create, edit and print styled text documents of any size (limited by RAM).
• View and print TeachText or SimpleText read-only ("ReadMe") documents.
• Easily create TeachText/SimpleText read-only documents, including embedded pictures.
• View and print color PICT files, such as those produced by draw programs or Apple's built-in screen snapshot utility.
• Copy a selection from a PICT file, cropping the image for use in the company newsletter.
• View, edit and print text documents created by virtually any word processor or computer.
• Reformat downloaded e-mail or text, correcting word-wrap problems and removing extraneous, non-Mac characters.
• Prepare text for upload to a BBS, so that people with MS-DOS systems can view the document as it was intended to be viewed.
• Instantly quote a brief passage from received e-mail, allowing the sender to remember their original message.
• Explore the power of AppleScript.
• Read any text document aloud, if you have Apple's Speech Manager extension. (Listen to a SimpleText read-only file, for example, as the text and pictures scroll by!)
• Quickly optimize a document for printing, replacing generic, typewriter-era characters with professional-looking typographically correct text.
• Create simple hypertext documents.
• Insert attention-getting sound annotations to spice up ordinary inter-office mail.
• And more…
