Jarte is a WordPad based, FREE word processor whose unique interface will make you feel like you are piloting a swift, nimble yacht by comparison. Although Jarte doesn't look anything like the office word processor you are used to, it can handle your word processing tasks with aplomb. If this sounds like the kind of word processor you are looking for then maybe you owe it to yourself to give Jarte a try.

Changelog:

New Features:
• 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 in situations where no spell checking is otherwise available. Hot Connect can also be used for reading articles from your web browser without the ads.

Notable Enhancements:
• 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.
• New option Use Alternate Main Menu has been added to the Options menu. The alternate main menu has the same functions as the default main menu, but it is laid out with more top level menu items and fewer cascading sub-menus. Many users may find the alternate menu easier to navigate than the traditional default main menu.
• When closing Jarte the "Do you want to save..." prompt has always appeared for each open document with unsaved changes. Now, if you press the Shift key while answering Yes or No then the answer will automatically be applied to the other documents being closed.
• New command line switch, "C", has been added that automatically creates a new file with the file name specified on the command line if the file does not already exist.
• Many other smaller enhancements and bug fixes are included in this release.
