TextEdit: The Built-in Text Editor of Mac OS X
TextEdit is a text editor that comes preinstalled on your Mac. It allows everyone to be able to write documents, similar to Pages or Microsoft Word. It’s more of a basic application that people usually assume won't work for their needs. In reality, TextEdit is a powerful tool if you need to write a document for work, school or for fun. You can find TextEdit in your Applications folder in Finder or in LaunchPad.
