TextEdit question

[ero87]

Hi friends,

So i'm trying to make the switch from the heavy-RAM-user MSWord to TextEdit , mainly for writing papers. My only issue with TextEdit right now is that it seems to start documents right in corner of the screen. I like how in MSWord, you start typing kind of in the middle - it creates reasonable margins for you (Like in the attached screenshot - a document that i made in MSWord and opened in textedit). How can I achieve this in textedit?

Thanks so much!

Command+Shift+W

or Wrap to window from the Format Menu, I think you can set that as the default in Preferences too.

what about zooming, is there a way to change that? Like in MSWord, I can set it to 50%, 100%, 150%... is there a way?

thanks!

EDIT: Also, page numbers? I see how it's possible to print with page numbers, is it doable to put it right in the document?

If you are writting papers, I think the best choice is "tex".
