#Writing exponents in word for mac software#

I'd been using TextEdit for the majority of my writing (school and recreational), but I wanted a more proficient document software where I could control the page margins and such (college is very particular about papers being submitted in MLA). It's also, as far as I can see, the best option out there for a simple, relatively straightforward, small-size word processor. This is an application with a lot of great options, but it's somewhere between a coder's application and a writer's word processor, and straddles the line uncomfortably. The full-screen option is seamless and infinitely better than the ones packaged with Pages or TextEdit. Highlighting the current line is wonderful.

On the plus side, the option to universally change your background and font colors is wonderful. Changing the font in one document will change the font of all other documents using that theme, meaning you have to create a new theme for every new document. There's an auto-indent 'feature,' useless and extremely annoying for any non-coding application, that can't be turned off. I was a big fan of this product several years ago, but it seems to be devolving and doing away with much of modern app design. Mostly because I'm too lazy to try and find a competitor. To be fair though, none of these stop me from using it. It's a great concept but execution is pretty flawed. If someone thinks its useful, please give the rest of us the option of getting rid of it. The auto-indent feature is beyond useless and annoying as hell.

I had to buy another app to parse my output. There needs to be a markup export feature. Sessions are really cool, but they're incorrectly formatted: there's no space after the headers and the first line of session data so you have to manually edit the session file or it doesn't show up in Excel correctly. Sounds are great, but crippled: the space bar needs its own sound.

You have to exit full screen then make it full screen explicitly for it to work. Opening a document in full screen while WriteRoom is already running makes it full screen as the default desktop, making everything else on that screen inaccessible. It can and will cause the application to crash and be unable to re-open. Since that's the entire point of distraction-free writing, it seems like the first thing you'd want to get right, but alas. Interaction with the OS and other features - not so much. Full screen, distraction-free writing is its forte. It's great at what it does when it does what it's great at.
