Word processing app for macbook air

Whats the best app to get for essay writing for the Macbook air??
I need something with a spell checker and word count facility and obviously
user friendly when I upload the essay to submit electronically,
Thanks

Your Air has Apple Pages built in. That should work fine. Depending what format your electronic essay system requires, you may have to export to either Word or PDF, both of which Pages can do.
Alternatively, Libreoffice (libreoffice.com) is free and has most of the features of Microsft Office. You can of course buy Office but that's the most expensive option.

  • Best word processing app for i-mac?

    As a 'newie' to the wonderful world of i-mac's can anyone recommend a good word processing app. Currently going round and round in circles trying to find one thats compatible with i-mac. Don't want to go down the Microsoft word option due to compatability issues.

    Word is not that incompatible.   But I do recommend looking at this listing of alternative products:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
    and this list:
    http://www.roaringapps.com/
    The real problem people face with Word are font conflicts with some applications, macros that can cause files to misbehave, and using a version that hasn't been updated for their operating system.  Version 2008 and 2011 are able to run on the latest operating systems, though some people have mentioned the installers have trouble on version 2008 on Mac OS X 10.7 and later.

  • Can anyone recommend a document word processing App for new ipad?

    Can anyone recommend an App for word processing for the new ipad?  I was hoping to be able to use the dictation function to save some time.  Cloudon, evernote...anything better?

    There are word processing apps such as Apple's Pages and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice Pro HD.

  • Word Starter 2010 for MacBook Air 13"

    Does Word Starter 2010 come with the MacBook Air 13"?

    No. There is no version of Word included with a Mac purchase. Pages is free for Macs purchased after October 1, 2013. Having said that after trying to use it for over a year, I gave up and went with Open Office. Another free alternative that is very powerful and closer to Word in features is http://www.libreoffice.org

  • Brother printer app for macbook air

    For some reason i can get the app for my printer (brother) on the app store on my iphone but not on my macbooks app store

    Brother printer drivers are usually included with the Mac OS, so you may not need one.
    I suggest you connect the printer to the Mac, and try to set it up.
    Go to:  Apple menu / System Preferences / Print & Scan. Click the + (bottom left), and follow the directions on the screen.

  • What's the best word processing app for the iPad?

    Hello! I bought Pages as suggested when I got my iPad, but I'm not happy with it being so basic. Is there something with a wider range of templates, and with more options on page layout, etc?

    There are a number available in the app store, at a variety of price points (Documents, Documents to Go, OnLive, etc.). But none will be anywhere near as full featured as MS Word for Windows or Mac, so you should read the descriptions carefully.

  • What word processing app can I use for an old mac (2007)

    I have just bought a MacBook Pro with no word processing app. When I visited the Apple store I was informed that the OS was out of date for Pages 5. Being new to Apple I am at a loss as to what to do. I would rather listen to some seasoned heads!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    New Macs come with the iWork applications for free, including Pages, which is a word processing application.
    To install it, you have to open the Mac App Store. You can find it in the Dock (at the bottom of the display) with this icon:
    Then, at the top of the App Store window, choose Purchases, and you should see three apps waiting to be accepted: Keynote, Pages and Numbers. Accept all of them and they will be downloaded and installed.
    If you do not see them listed there, see > http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/

  • I am looking for a word processing app

    I am looking for a word processing app that I can use for sending .doc and .docx format papers via email or uploading them to websites directly from my ipad 2 without having to export them to or sync them with my actual computer.  Does the Pages app allow users to do this?  I need to make a purchase of such an app soon.  If this app is incapable of these actions, can anyone suggest an app or design an app for me that does them?

    Pages can export documents in MS Word format. When I last did this (with Pages '09, the Mac version), the result was a .doc file.
    Note that this is a translation, and like most translations, it's not always a perfect one. Some features of Pages are not supported in MS Word, and some Word features are not supported in Pages.
    For a more precise answer wrt Pages for iOS, you should repost your question in the iWork For iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • Is Mavericks.app for iMac same as that for Macbook Air?

    I downloaded Mavericks.app for my iMac and then used the same installer (mavericks.app) to upgrade my Macbook Air 2013. The upgrade was smooth; but the battery life isn't very great.
    Can someone confirm that there's Mavericks upgrade for iMac is the same as that for Macbook Air?

    Thanks! Haven't had any problems with the software; except that I'm not happy with the battery life my MBA 2013, 13" offers after the upgrade. Looks like time to reset PRAM and SMC.

  • App similar to stay focused for MacBook Air

    Is there an app similar to stay focused for MacBook Air?

    There is a way to see (in small window) short bits and parts of video movies, where they exist, in the iTunes application from the store page in there. My older Mac with earlier version of iTunes lets me browse Music, Movies, TV stores, from the sections on the iTunes application; years ago there was more direct content. They used to have a site page for some of those clips... I haven't looked lately.
    A screenshot of a video clip ^ from the iTunes Movie store, via iTunes in my Mac.
    If you browse the items for sale/rent, a few have a tiny triangle on them and this opens the little window where a preview runs. A few actual movies will have an option to see a preview or trailer-like video in a similar small window that opens up over the store screen.
    The older iTunes application in earlier Mac systems had various other features. In order to view movie trailer kinds of content streamed from the internet, you may have to look into a third party application or a web page.
    There may be a list of applications included with certain models of Mac portables
    and if you can find that name, that may be a talking point. The Store has lists of
    what software may be included in the most recent Macs in each products info.
    {There was no mention prior to your reply...
    that you did not want to make movies, btw.}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I had an App on MacBook Air which would cause my computer to be locked. I delted it and reinstalled the App again from the AppStore. Now I am being charged again for the same App. How can I correct this issue and get refund for the double billing?

    You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
    Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
