Anyone Know difference between pure Text Document and Plain Text Document?

I am having a **** of a time trying to figure out how to create a "text document" on the Mac. From what I've read, it's not possible to create a pure "text document" with Mac .... only possibly windows.
I have a text document (created in Textedit in Mac),that can only be saved as either a "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF) formatted file.
I need to save (or re-create), the text file in a file that will save as a
"text document".
In either the <command+I> option, or in a folder window line description, I need to see the text file saved as the wording or a "rich text format (.RTF) .... and not "plain text document" or a "rich text format (.RTF).
Evidently, the difference between the text files that Apple TextEdit creates, and those that are a pure "text document", have something to do with the hidden carriage return command language at the end of the command lines ... or something like that.
The text file is being used as a command text file for a modified VTC Training "set-up folder/GUI" that will run on either Mac or Windows.
I have seen on-line, some mention that using windows "notepad" (texteditor) may be the only way to create a true "text document" labeled file.
Any suggestions, or knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -David

The way to preserve an existing "text document" is to import it into OS 9.2 and
open it up in Apple Simpletext (text edit program).
Changes can be made to the original "text document" (not an original .rtf or .txt file, which aren't true "text documents" by title description). When changes are made to the original "text document", they are saved in Simpletext as a "text document" (not .rtf or .txt - these are OSX file descriptions).
The file can be read back by OSX Textedit, or by PC, with no problems. However, if the slightest changes are attempted in OSX on that "text document" (once back from your OS 9.2 changes ... OSX will only be able to save it again as a .rtf or .txt (plain text file) ... not a pure "text document" as made or corrected in OS 9.2.
I'm glad I still have Apple OSX "Classic" available for these kind of rare changes needed.
I have spent a few weeks now, trying to figure how to create/modify an existing pure "text document" using a Mac ... without relying on going to any PC text edit programs ... and this method of running it through the old Simpletext program in OS 9 finally worked out to be the answer this evening!

  • Difference between CIVS-IPC-VT38 and CIVS-IPC-VF31

    Hi Expert,
    1, May I know difference between CIVS-IPC-VT38 and  Cisco IP Camera Fujinon 3-8 mm  Varifocal Lens CIVS-IPC-VF31?
    2, Do I need a lenses for Cisco CIVS-IPC-2611   Dome camera, if it is what the part number?
    Thanks

    I'm just going by memory here, but I believe the VT38 part is made by Tamron, and the VF31 part is made by Fujinon.
    Personally, I prefer the Tamron parts if I have the option, but you may want to review the detailed spec sheets from each manufacturer.
    Also, the 2600 series domes have their *own* non-swapable optics made by "Computar".  I can't remember the varifocal range off the top of my head right now, but it would be in the datasheets from Cisco for sure.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers!

  • Difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad

    Hi
    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.

    I want to know difference between execute as statement and execute as script in Toad ..while i am running a query execute as statement is taking about 3 seconds and if i run with execute as a script its taking long time..Which one i need to consider.Firstly, this is not a TOAD forum. TOAD is a 3rd party tool developed by Quest Software, so really your question does not belong here.
    However...
    When you execute a query as a statement then toad itself opens the cursor against the database and issues the statement, fetching the rows as they are needed to display in it's interface. You say it takes only about 3 second to run, but the chances are that you haven't scrolled the result window down to the last record, for which I'm sure you'd find it takes a little longer.
    When you execute a query as a script, TOAD passes the query out to be run in SQL*Plus rather than from within TOAD itself. With SQL*Plus, it runs the whole statement fetching all the rows before returning control, the same as if you had scrolled to the end of the result set in TOAD.
    In reality there should be no difference in the time it takes to execute the statements to completion in either environment.

  • Difference between 'add text' tools and adding Layers

    I am trying to add text to a .pdf form that has no preset text boxes. I see I can either add text via the tools menu with the 'add text' tool or the fill and sign menu with the 'add text' tool as well. They both seem to behave differently and I have a difficult time selecting, moving or editing text that is close to existing elements with both tools. What is the intended difference between these tools? Also, it would be nice to add a layer to just add my text to without interfering with the existing elements, but I see no way to actually add a layer in Acrobat Pro XI. I know I can do this in Illustrator, but I was looking for a simpler solution that works in Acrobat.
    Thanks!
    Colin

    Hey Kolinized,
    Difference between "add text" tool via the 'tools' pane and "add text" tool via 'fill and sign' pane :-
    * Tools>Content Editing>Add Text :- Selecting this option, we can customize the text as well the rectangular box it will create.We can place the box anywhere on the page.
    * Fill & Sign>Fill & Sign Tools>Add Text :- This option is slightly easier ,however, customizes text only(Typewriter tool in Acrobat X).This tool is preferred to fill up various kinds
    of forms .
    Thanks

  • What is the difference between Standard text and Text Symbols?

    Hi,
                1.Difference between Standard text and text symbol,?
                2. Which we use Standard symbol?

    Text symbol
    Text symbols are symbols representing text elements. In fact, a text symbol can be defined for every text elements. The reading of the form is easier in the SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol must not exceed 32 characters and its value 60 characters. The value assignement can be done in two ways:
    - Using the following command: "/: DEFINE &SYMBOL&='TEST_SYMBOLE'"
    - Using a standard text symbol.
    The text symbol value is temporary stored. When the print program finishes the execution, the text symbol does not exist anymore. The text symbol must have a value when it is declared.
    Also check this link,
    http://www.supinfo-projects.com/en/2005/forms_sapscript_en/5/
    Standard text are good, if you are using them in more than one SAPScript, because you have to maintain them only once, and not in every SAPScript.
    It is really good to write rarely changing texts into the SO10 standard texts (for example company name, and address).
    standard text is not always used in scripts. when ever u want to display some data u need to use standard text so that the data gets displayed. Say, u have a large piece of document which needs to be printed at end of script... rather than writing the whole thing in script, we create standard text using SO10 and then use the name along with standard text in script.

  • What is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    what is the difference between Macs Voice Over and the text to talk feature

    Voice Over doesn't need someone to type in the text first. Voice Over works with specific screen displayed information so that a blind person can know where his/her cursor is or what is being displayed. Although it is an application of text to talk it's more than the text to talk feature.

  • Differences between oracle text in enterprise and express editions

    are there any differences between oracle text features found in express edition and ent. edition. if so what are they?

    There is a list of features available in the online documentation. The only thing that it mentions as being missing from Oracle Text are the english and french knowledge bases. There isn't any Intermedia or Ultra Search or Data Mining. Here is a link to the 10g Express Edition features guide:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/license.102/b25456/toc.htm#BABDDIAE
    There is a separate discussion group for 10g Express Edition, that requires a separate free registration:
    Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
    There is a thread on this subject in the 10g Express discussion group:
    Oracle Text
    The above thread includes the following quick comparison:
    If it's not in Standard Edition One, it is not in Express Edition. (Therefore everything that is in Enterprise but not in Standard Edition, is also not in Express Edition. That includes all EE-only options.)
    If it requires Java in the database, it is not in Express Edition.
    Other than that, it's mainly the size limits: 1 CPU (no parallel processing), 1 GB RAM, and 4 GB user-related tablespaces.

  • Hi, can anyone explain the difference between the models A1457 and ME432B/A of the iPone 5s. Thanks

    Hi, can anyone explain the difference between the models A1457 and ME432B/A of the iPone 5s.

    Hi Gary,
    Model # A1457 designates that it's the European market model, which I believe works on EE, Vodafone and O2 in the UK.
    ME432B/A is the part # that, in your case, I believe, desginates a 16GB Space Grey Unlocked version...
    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that
