Tim you got me excited about using the Jart word processor. But How do I get to the menus? How do I do spell check. Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi Andy, I owe you a great and hardy "Thank you" for telling us about Jarte! It is just what I always wanted, a nice easy word processor that is fully compatible with JAWS. It was easy to download and install. Folks will find it to have a very familiar feel, and it is easy to explore the menus and find all the features, everything I want, a few nice extras, but not as much of the wild stuff the Microsoft Word program has. It also has a nice regular old menu system. So for those who did not notice his post, please consider Jarte. I can already tell that I will use it a lot, perhaps as my default word processor. It is certainly the solution for those who have only WordPad. A post-installation note. When you first launch the program for the purpose of real work, watch for the following. When you first go to open your file list, the old familiar control + o key, you need to set the file type. By default, it is set to RTF only, meaning that when you tab to the file list, you will see only the folders, and only those files that are in RTF format. Instead, tab to the file type field, and Arrow down to the format you want to see in the file list, or arrow down to the bottom, about 5 times, to the all-format view. Whatever format option you choose, just press enter. Then, just do the shift tab a couple of times and there is the list of all folders, and depending upon your file type selection discussed above, your list of files. If you do not do this step, you will see only the list of folders, if any, and only RTF files, if any, in the folder. I assume there is a way to set the default file type, but I have not learned that much yet, and for beginners of Jarte, it is probably best to just check the file type box each time, or you will be greatly confused wondering where your files and folders are! I put in below the link to the Jarte web page that contains the description of features. On that same page is also the download link. The installation file you download is small, less than 4 mb. Installation was completely perfect and easy, both for accessibility and for clarity. The link is below, just past my name. Thanks again Andy!

Try WordPad. Thanks, Dave, but I already know this. However, I don't have any version of Word and I don't intend to purchase it just to be able to read files from people who refuse to publish documents in more universally accessible formats. ...
