Tex-Edit Plus is a scriptable, styled text editor with a clean, uncluttered interface. It fills the gap between Apple's bare-bones TextEdit and a full-featured word processor. It's fast, efficient, and has a clean, uncluttered interface. It's also great for cleaning up text which is transmitted over the Internet. It includes full text-to-speech as well as media integration features. Please read 'Welcome to Tex-Edit!' and accompanying documents to understand changes in this version of Tex-Edit Plus.
What's New
Version 4.10:
  • Open RTFD documents (with most graphics intact).
  • Create RTFD documents.
  • The "Open Any as Text" command will now open bundles/packages.
  • Fixed bug when opening or saving RTF documents containing some embedded pictures (JPEG, PNG).
  • PNG pictures can now be opened, inserted, or dragged directly into Tex-Edit documents.
  • Changed default position of Tools and Script Tools palettes to left side of screen. (I suggest deleting the old "Tex-Edit Preferences" file in "~/Library/Preferences" folder and re-launching Tex-Edit.)
  • Improved window tiling/positioning on screen.
  • Added "Open Selected File in Tex-Edit Plus" service. (Activate in "System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services" in 10.6 or newer.)
  • Added "New Tex-Edit Plus Window Containing Selection" service.
  • Fixed bug involving frozen dialog sheets in Mavericks (10.9).
  • Fixed cosmetic bug noted when displaying Print and Page Setup dialogs in Mavericks.
  • Fixed bug in "Open Recent" menu.

Been using for years; by far the best of this type of smile text editor for Mac. Responsive developer and good about updating.

I wouldn't be without it. Flexible, fast, easy to use, and can clean up imported formats.

Just an FYI, from the developer's site:

"Tex-Edit Plus is Shareware ($15). Our software is not locked, crippled, time-limited, or ad-infested. Use Tex-Edit Plus for free as long as you like and only pay if you want to."

Wow, it's back! This has been a favorite of mine from way back in SimpleText days.

Makes me kind of misty eyed. :)

Yeah, back when I couldn't afford anything like MS Office, this was the bomb. Well, maybe it still is! I could always get a lot done and quickly with this gem.

Been using it since System 6 or 7 ...so long I can't remember. I have an SE-30 that refuses to die and Tex-Edit Plus on OS 7.1 runs faster on that machine than does MS Office 2011 with Lion ...for real.

I still used it for many things until I upgraded to an Intel machine earlier this year.

I was using it since System 7.5 days. :)

For the last two times, when I use the MacUpdate app to download a new version, for some reason, the app itself is not installed. I have to go and download it myself and then the app is in the applications folder.

I've just come across what I think is a bug in the file format used by TE: when synching two macs through network, the "crossed out" attributes inside a file are not copied! (I've tried many times and checked vs .doc files)
I've checked saving the file from both stable 499 and béta 4912 (and opening it on the other mac with corresponding version).

Just a note that if you have "TextTools" installed (marsthemes.com), you will not be able to save (or close save dialogs) in Tex-Edit Plus (v4.9.9 & 4.9.12). Must be a conflict Text Tools has with the WASTE text engine.
