Ted 2.14, an easy RTF text processor for Linux/Unix released.
Utrecht, April 6, 2003

Description of Ted
==================
Ted is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems.
Ted was developed as a standard easy word processor, having the role
of Wordpad on MS-Windows. Since then, Ted has evolved to a real word
processor that still has the same easy appearance as the original. The
possibility to type a letter, a note or a report on a Unix/Linux
machine is clearly missing. Only too often, you have to turn to
MS-Windows machine to write a letter or a document. Ted was made to
make it possible to edit rich text documents on Unix/Linux in a wysiwyg
way. RTF files from Ted are fully compatible with MS-Word.
Additionally, Ted also is an RTF to PostScript and an RTF to Acrobat
PDF converter.
To my own modest opinion, Ted is really easy to use and of good
quality. I hope that you will find Ted useful.
Changes since version 2.13
(Ted 2.14 April 6, 2003)
* Initial support for Macintosh pict images
* Table Headers
* Bug in image rendering on 256 color screens solved
* Fixes in German package
* Brazilian window texts
* Tabs in page headers/footers finally saved in such a way that
they are picked up by MS-Word 2000
Details on Ted
==============
Ted is a text processor running under X Windows on Unix/Linux systems.
Compatibility with popular MS-Windows applications played an important
role in the design of Ted. Every document produced by Ted should,
without any loss of formatting or information, be accepted as a legal
.rtf file by Word. Compatibility in the other direction is more
difficult to achieve. Ted supports many of the formatting features of
the Microsoft applications. Other formatting instructions and meta
information are ignored.*) By ignoring unsupported formatting Ted
tries to get the complete text of a document on screen or to the
printer. Ted can be used to read formatted e-mail sent from a Windows
machine to Unix, to print an RTF document, or to convert it to Acrobat
PDF format. Below we explain how to configure Ted as an RTF viewer in
Netscape and how to convert an RTF document to PDF with Ted and
GhostScript.
*) Most of the ignored information is not saved either when you
modify and then save an RTF document with Ted.

· Wysiwyg rich text editing. You can use all fonts for which
you have a .afm file and that are available as an X11 font. Ted
is delivered with .afm files for the Adobe fonts that are
available on Motif systems and in all postscript printers:
Times, Helvetica, Courier and Symbol. Other fonts can be added
with the normal X11 procedure. Font properties like bold and
italic are supported; so is underlining and are subscripts and
superscripts.
· Ted uses Microsoft RTF as its native file format. Microsoft
Word and Wordpad can read files produced by Ted. Usually Ted
can read .rtf files from Microsoft Word and Wordpad. As Ted
does not support all features of Word,some formatting
information might be lost.
· In line bitmap and windows metafile pictures.
· PostScript printing of the document and its illustrations.
Saved PostScript files contain pdfmarks that are converted to
hyperlinks when they are converted to Acrobat PDF.
· Spelling checking in twelve Latin languages.
· Directly mailing documents from Ted. Mail in HTML format is a
multipart message that contains all images hyperlinks and
footnotes.
· Cut/Copy/Paste, also with other applications.
· Find/Replace.
· Ruler: Paragraph indentation, Indentation of first line,
Tabs. Copy/Paste Ruler.
· Page breaks.
· Page headers and footers. Page numbers in page headers and
page footers.
· Tables: Insert Table, Row, Column. Changing the column width
of tables with their ruler.
· Symbols and accented characters are fully supported.
· Hyperlinks and bookmarks.
· Footnotes and endnotes.
· Saving a document in HTML format.
· Probably the best illustration of what you can do with Ted is
its documentation that has been made with Ted.
For a detailed description and a manual, refer to the readme.* files
on the web site in plain text, HTML or RTF format.
