[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1747743, member: 305741"] I do not know what the "normal behavior" of TextEdit is supposed to be, but this is not how it worked as short a time as 2 months ago on my machines. Then, when I opened TextEdit, I got an rtf text box and I could just start typing in. I did not get a Finder window. Just to be clear, when I used to open TextEdit to accept new information (that is, not opening an existing file) I got an rtf text box that I could just start to enter text into. TextEdit opening a Finder window is something I had not seen in the 4 years or so that I have used a Mac until recently. I do not know what Office or Word do as I have neither on my system, but I do know what TextEdit used to do, and this is not it. In fact I was so surprised when I first saw this behavior that I could not understand why the default behavior should have changed. [/QUOTE]
