editing and writing but I wouldn't call it a word Processor. I believe that Apple's Iwork suite which comes with the Mac 
ha a word processor called pages but to my knowledge its not accessible so the alternatives? Well there's a free word 
processing package out there called Bean, it does basic word processing which includes tables. Want something better 
as I did on a scale of say Word 2003 and even better than that? Well you could try Nisus Writer Pro, I think its about 
$50.00 and is now quite accessible to use thanks to a lot of feedback from Voiceover users <smile>.
