OpenDoc Essentials and TextEditor Object (2/97)

I installed just the Mac OS 7.6 basics on my computer, which includes OpenDoc and the OpenDoc Essentials; I did not install anything else. When I double-click the AppleDraw Stationary, the "A" button for creating a text area is grayed out. Why?
The AppleDraw OpenDoc Editor Compenent is looking for a "Text Editor" Editor Compenent and can not find one. Therefore you can not create or edit text objects, you can view them only.

Solutions and Workarounds
-------------------------
* Install CyberDog, which will install as part of the CyberDog Editors a text editing editor compenent, letting you create, edit, and view text objects.

* Visit the OpenDoc Web Site, <http://opendoc.apple.com/> and look for a freeware/shareware (F) and commercial (C) text editor components.

The following are examples, and are NOT supported by Apple Telephone Support. This is a partial list, and more are being developed.

(F) BBEdit Lite (OpenDoc) <http://www.barebones.com/>
(C) Corda Technologies TextBox <http://www.corda.com/>
(C) Digital Harbor WAV <http://www.dharbor.com/>
(C) Nisus(r) Writer <http://www.nisus-soft.com/>
