Convert rich text documents to other formats
With TextEdit, you can open and edit rich text documents created in other word processing apps, including Microsoft Word and OpenOffice. You can also save your documents in a different format, so theyβre compatible with other apps.
Create and edit HTML documents
You donβt need a special app to write or edit HTML codeβjust use TextEdit. You can display HTML documents like youβd see them in a browser, or use TextEdit as a code editor.
Mark up images
You can write or draw on images in your text files using the tools in the Markup toolbar.
