Bean 3.0.4

Bean is a small, easy-to-use word processor (or more precisely, a rich text editor), designed to make writing convenient, efficient and comfortable. Bean is Open Source, fully Cocoa, and is available free of charge! MS Word, OpenOffice, etc. try to be all things to all people. But sometimes you just want the right tool for the job. That is Bean's niche.

Bean is not a replacement for MS Word. It doesn't do footnotes or use stylesheets and is only partially compatible with Word's file formats.

Bean natively reads and writes these file formats:
· .rtf format (rich text)
· .rtfd format (rich text with graphics)
· .bean format (identical to .rtfd)
· .txt format (Unicode and legacy)
· .html format (as source code)
· .WebArchive format (Apple's web archive format)

Bean transparently imports and exports these formats:
· .doc format (MS Word '97, minus images, margins, and page size)
· .xml format (MS Word 2003 XML, minus images)

Bean can export all of the above formats to this format:
· .html (web page format, minus images)
