Thanks for submitting this app. I have only briefly played with it, but it looks pretty good. I think i could produce a fairly good looking document with this app. Nice feature set for the programme being free.

it's good, but trying to get to the notes area so you can edit your already done foot note/end note is not possible with voice over. I'm trying to speak to the developer about it and I read the manual that comes with iText express, but they can't understand what voice over means. True this application is coded in co co, how ever trying to like I said get to the notes area to you can export your footnotes/end notes is not possible at this point in time..

I'm trying to find an accessible word processer for the mac as i use windows at school with microsoft word and jaws and plan to drop windows entirely at home. I tried this out, and its pretty nice. However, it doesn't seem to save to doc format, just to various versions of microsoft word that don't seem to open on my mac when I save in them and try to open them. F its possible to save to doc and i'm just not aware of that for what ever reason, can someone let me know? Thanks

Hi Daredevil I text express does output to .doc format when your done writing a document when your on the pop up button where your presented with a list of formats select .Doc as your file format note depending on the version of the document your working with ITexT express numbers the word formats .Doc word 97 format means it’s only compatible with only Itext Express if you try running that same document through Microsoft Word a warning pops up saying if you open that same document in another word processing application it displays a message your document will loose some of it’s original formatting
