SUE can import and export files in a variety of Macintosh, ISO, Windows and DOS code pages as well as UTF-7, UTF-8 and 16-bit Unicode. It can save files as text, Unicode or Textension (the format of Apple’s Multilingual Text Editor technology). SUE has no direct support for HTML, but you can type in HTML tags and save your file with UTF-8 character encoding in order to produce multilingual Web pages.
SUE is written by Tomasz Kukielka and is available from the SUE Web page.

TextEdit

TextEdit is an editor for formatted text that uses RTF (Rich Text Format) as its native format. It can also open and save plain text files in UTF-8, UTF-16, Western (Mac and Windows), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. It supports Apple’s Extended Roman and Unicode Hex Input keyboards.

Word:mac v. X

Microsoft’s Word:mac v. X word processor for Mac OS X 10.1 uses the same file format as Word 97, Word 2000 and Word 2002 for Windows, but cannot read multi-script documents from Word for Windows. Multiple scripts are retained if native Word:mac v. X documents are transferred to Word 97, Word 2000 or Word 2002, and when Unicode (UTF-16) text and HTML (UTF-8) pages are produced.
Word:mac v. X does not support Apple’s Extended Roman, Unicode Hex Input or Vietnamese Unicode keyboards. It can see Windows Unicode fonts, but it can only use them for Latin script.
Word:mac v. X has a dialog box for picking characters from large fonts, accessed from Symbol... on the Insert menu. However, it does not show Unicode ranges and it does not work with all fonts (e.g. Lucida Grande contains Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended Additional, Greek and Cyrillic characters, but only MacRoman characters are shown).
Word:mac v. X can be used as a WYSIWYG HTML editor for producing multi-script Web pages. To save an existing Word document as a Web page:
  1. On the File menu, select 'Save as Web Page...'.
  2. In the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box, click the 'Web Options...' button.
  3. In the Web Options dialog box, click the 'Encoding' tab.
  4. From the pop-up list of encodings, select 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
  5. Click 'OK' to close the Web Options dialog box.
  6. In the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box, specify a name (Save As:) and location (Where:) for your HTML file.
  7. To make your HTML file as small as possible, click the 'Save only display information into HTML' radio button. This option is recommended for a page to go on a Web site.
  8. Alternatively, to retain the entire structure of the Word document, click the 'Save entire file into HTML' button. This option creates much larger files that include all of the special Word formatting that is normally not supported in Web pages.
  9. Click the 'Save' button to save your document and close the Save: Microsoft Word dialog box.
To set UTF-8 as the default encoding for all HTML files produced in Word:
  1. On the Word menu, select 'Preferences...'.
  2. In the Preferences dialog box, click 'General' in the list of categories.
  3. Click the 'Web Options...' button on the General page.
  4. In the Web Options dialog box, click the 'Encoding' tab.
  5. From the pop-up list of encodings, select 'Unicode (UTF-8)'.
  6. Click 'OK' to close the Web Options dialog box.
  7. Click 'OK' to close the Preferences dialog box.
To create a multi-script Web page that is not based on an existing Word document:
  1. On the File menu, select 'Project Gallery...'
  2. in the Gallery, click 'Blank Documents' in the Category list.
  3. Click the large 'Web Page' icon, and then click 'OK' to close the Gallery.
The Formating Palette allows you to format your text. To type in other scripts or languages, select the appropriate keyboard and if necessary also choose an appropriate font.

If you need to work directly on the HTML code, open the View menu and select HTML Source. To revert to the normal WYSIWYG view, open the View menu and select Exit HTML Source.

Word 2004

Microsoft’s Word 2004 word processor for Mac OS X 10.2.8 onwards uses the same file format as Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002 and Word 2003 for Windows, and is the first version of Word for Mac to make use of the operating system’s Unicode support, including the Unicode keyboards and fonts.
It is supplied with a range of Unicode fonts that enable it to display many multi-script documents from Word for Windows. However, it does not support editing of right-to-left scripts (e.g. Arabic and Hebrew) or complex scripts such as Thai and the Indian languages. The Insert Symbol dialog box does not show all fonts or all characters, but Apple’s Character Palette can be used instead.
A 30-day trial version of Microsoft Office 2004, which includes Word 2004, is available from Office 2004 Test Drive.

What is HexEdit?
HexEdit is a hexdump viewer and editor that works similarly to the hex editor provided with Apple's ResEdit. It allows you to edit either the data fork or the resource fork of a file. HexEdit offers a find command, a goto address command and supports drag and drop, automatically opening files in 'Auto' mode.
HexEdit can edit very large files (they don't need to fit into memory). At it's current memory setting of 600k, it should be able to handle files of up to 230 megs. If you need to edit a larger file (!), increase it's memory partition. Note that when HexEdit saves a file, it will (temporarily) need twice the disc space of the original file, plus a little extra for storing the changes you have made.
