  • Latest Changes

    - Hot Connect is the only major feature added in this release, but it's a good one. Hot Connect provides a simple means for using Jarte to write or spell check text in other programs. It can be used for writing tasks such as blogging, or spell checking text

    - Page numbering options in the Print window's Header & Footer tab have been enhanced. You can now specify the total number of pages to appear as part of the page number (e.g., "Page 1 of 100"). You can also choose a start page number other than "1"

    - The page header and footer lines can be suppressed for a specified number of pages at the beginning of the document

    - The Alt key can now be used to access the menu buttons on Jarte's Compact Layout. Before, Alt key access to Jarte's functions was only possible when the main menu was displayed. Hold down the Alt key to see the Alt key assignments for the buttons

    - It is now possible to specify more than one spelling dictionary language for the spell check feature. This is useful if you sometimes mix writing of more than language in the same document. Click here for more details

    - An Italian language spell check dictionary has been added

    One of the really neat things about Jarte is you can make the GUI look anyway you want it. Try "View/Minimal Layout" and "View/Show Tabs". While you're at it, try the other checkboxes in the "View" menu. You might also test the "Options/Use alternate menu" checkbox. The print feature is not disabled, but it is easy to press the "Ok" button instead of the "Print" button.

    This is a free full-fledged WordProcessor in a compact package. It has been around a long time; assiduously maintained; stable as a rock; friendly & efficient to use. It prints just fine, too -- not at all *cripple-ware*.

    Actually this is perfect for a bunch of needs. Do not confuse this with NotePad replacements. Jarte is a full Word Processor. Having the Find window shown all the time is great.
    Yes, the GUI takes a bit of time to get accustomed to, but I was able to do it. So you can. And 'Yes', I would like to see a more conventional menu bar, toolbar, and icons. But all in all, this is a great product!

    Why would the 'Print'option be disabled if this is really freeware.

    The screen shot which BetaNews shows is not of Jarte 3.0. Check this link to see one of the three GUI views available in Jarte 3:
