Here Is How to Easily Annotate Images and Insert Digital Signatures Using Apple's TextEdit

TextEdit is a powerful program installed by default on OS X. It comes pre-installed on Mac. You can easily find it on your Mac by typing "TexEdit" in Spotlight search or using Command+Shift+A from this keyboard shortcut to navigate. directly in the Applications folder. I love TextEdit and have been using it since I upgraded to OS X over 10 years ago. I even wrote an entire doctoral thesis on the subject. I especially like writing long, plain-text drafts in TextEdit because it gives me a simple, non-messy interface that helps me express ideas and think creatively.

As with almost all Apple products, the strength of its services lies in the functionality deep below the surface. TextEdit is no exception. In this article, which I will share in the next few days, I will introduce you to some of these features that will help you unlock the full potential of this text editing program.

In today's article, I will share with you the bookmarking feature provided by TextEdit. Markup allows you to add comments to images in your documents. You can draw them, write them or draw them.
