#WHAT IS TEXT EDIT ON MAC PC#Īlso, WordService works for all Cocoa applications on the Mac, so you can use it other places - for example, to reformat your mail messages by removing extra spaces and lines that arise from your editing, or to fix the titles of accented songs and albums that you imported from your PC collections into iTunes, etc.Īlso, if you're not used to working with Services menu options, keep in mind that you won't see a list of services displayed unless you select some text for the service to operate on. Other things WordService can do include replacing tabs with blank spaces, or vice-versa, sort a selected series of lines in ascending or descending order (for example, if you want to alphabetize a series of included entries), trim lines of extra blank spaces, remove quotation marks, capitalize the beginnings of all words in the selection, or force them to be lowercase. So if you have been typing away with your Caplock key on, you can select 'WordService: Lowercase' and optionally also use 'WordService: Initial Caps of Sentences'.

It is also possible to install WordService from the Mac App Store, but I suspect this would be confusing to anyone who does not already know about how to use the Services menu.
