OS X Services


Applications such as Apple Mail, BBEdit, Eudora, TextEdit, and many modern applications also support OS X Services.


Note: Some applications do not support Services. If the Services menu is completely grayed out when you have a text selection, then the application likely does not support Services. An example of this is Microsoft Word.*


The Services menu can be found in the application menu, such as "TextEdit". You can use TextSoap in other applications through Services:


  1. Select text in application that supports Services (text must be editable).
  2. Select Application > Services > Clean Selection with TextSoap.
  3. Select the cleaner you wish to apply from the popup window.


Services only works when text is selected and the text is editable. In Apple Mail, Services only works on outgoing messages.


New: Starting with TextSoap 7.3, OS X Services are handled through the textsoap7agent. If needed, the agent will launch TextSoap in agent mode.
