Hi.
One of the best Text Editors/Wordpads I’ve ever seen for the Mac in my opinion
is iText or iText Pro, iText is free and along with iText Pro can be downloaded
from the Mac Apps Store.
I gave up on Text Edit long ago due to random problems popping up such as the
one described below.
You will find that - even the free version of iText - leaves Text Edit smoking
in the dust.
Thanks to another user of the Mac who found the brilliant iText App and alerted
myself and other Mac users to it.

I have seen this from time to time and when it does I make sure that the text
is saved then close textedit and re open it.
HTH.

No it is not. I even tried turning it on and off.
This happens quite a bit part way through a document.
It’s annoying when you are trying to edit.

Hi there,
I am having this weird problem in text edit where part way through a
document, the text seems to scramble and my speech doesn’t correspond with
the cursor. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?
