Enable some missing Snow Leopard Services http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9154359/Enable_some_missing_Snow_Leopard_Services?source=rss_opsys When Snow Leopard first came out, I wrote about the new-and-improved Services feature, including what seemed to be a bug regarding which Services do and do not show up in the contextual menu. For example, try this experiment on your 10.6 machine. Select some text in TextEdit, then Control-click on the selection.

Learning these techniques will streamline your work.
