![]() So having dismissed the "obviousness" of the modern Mac, you will need a little homework to reveal what really lies beneath, and let you really enjoy a different environment for computing. Unfortunately Apple has done an excellent job of keeping things out of sight in a way that breaks its own, let alone common sense, user guidelines. There is a lot below the apparently simple user interface. The way things work, and work together on the Mac is outside what you would have experienced on the PC. I think you do need to look beyond Windows' features. I virtually live in it and find endless new uses for it, far beyond mere word processing. If you are looking for a word processor with a good balance between features and simplicity I highly recommend the free: Oddly enough once Apple made it more difficult and a cyclical pain like Windows, people went for it in droves. The ease of use myth comes from the older Classic Mac OS which was a much simpler and less complex system. I have since found an app that allows you to re gain control of frozen app windows by using keyboard shortcuts,but she still prefers the XP machine for ease of use. She has pretty much given up on using the Mac, and when ever I come home I usually find the 5 year old WinXp Dell up and running because she has tried to read her mail and the Mail window has opened off screen and it is only half visible and not draggable. The store offered me the 30 inch Cinema screen for an extra £700, or a Samsung screen for an extra £50, so she did not even get the screen she wanted. Unfortunately she only wanted it because she liked the look of the Mac screen, which Apple then dis-continued, (after I paid for it) during the 8 week delivery period it took to get the machine. Have got Open Office Aqua for Mac, but want to use the software I have paid for, it is obviously a good bit of kit, just not as intuitive or easy as I was hoping it would be. Over the last few months I have tried many bits of software for the GPS/Firewire/phone etc, etc, paid for and free ware, still a lot of issues seem to be hardware/driver issues rather thatn specific software issues. There is alot of them out on the Internet. Why not try to find some free programs that meet your needs. I am fully aware of the difficulties that can come with swapping OS's, it is just that I hoped (believed the hype and what I was told) that Apple's OS would be easier than the rest. I run Ubuntu linux on one machine at home, and I have a spare room at home with many 'experimental' machines with all sorts of different linux/BSD distros on them. No, not blaming the Mac, it is my fault for being taken in and believing friends who have Macs who said it would all just work, and it would all be far easier than Windows. There is also a learning threshold to overcome when changing software's and operating systems. The Mac can absolutely do a lot more than you can imagine but you need the right software, that goes for any kind of computer. Xerox PARC has developed an experimental system that allows the reflow of any document using OCR layout analysis at word-level.Don't blame the Mac. ![]() ![]() Amazon's Kindle File Format, but only in its newest version.For example, there are special tags for epigraphs, verses and quotations. It does not specify the appearance of a document instead, it describes its structure. FictionBook is a free reflowable format by design.Tagged PDF documents can contain an additional data layer that (among other things) allows content to reflow within the boundaries of one original page.Local distribution of eddy currents in solder balls. However the XPS document standard also introduced by Microsoft with WPF does not support reflow. Induction devices with open magnetic circuit are efficient for forming solder balls from solder paste on contact pads PCB. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) introduced XAML-based documents together with a viewer call "SinglePageViewer" that can reflow any WPF objects.EPUB is a simple reflowable format that allows a single column with inline images, in many ways similar to a stripped-down HTML.Reflow is not limited to text 21st century scorewriters enable music notation to be reflowed between systems and pages in a similar way to how text reflows between lines and pages.īesides HTML, commercially available systems include: In contrast to end user terminology, the notion of reflow is sometimes used to discuss desktop publishing program features for print publication page layout such as automatically balancing the amount of text in a number of columns. For end users, the World Wide Web standard, HTML is a reflowable format as is the case with any resizable electronic page format. Typical prepress or fixed page size output formats like PostScript or PDF are not reflowable during the actual printing process because the page is not resized. A reflowable document is a type of electronic document that can adapt its presentation to the output device.
