Hi, David. Is the free version of jarte on the jaws users website? I tried
to find it the other day but maybe you need to read all the way down the
page to find it. Thanks very much for your help.

Jart has a spell checker. Although I still use Word Jart is my program of
choice for reading documents as it is very stable with Jaws even for very
long book sized documents. I have never had a crash or a delay in
reading.
The main restriction I can see between the free version of Jart and the
version you buy is that you cannot set up templates in the free version.
So
for example you cannot in the free version change the default font to say
Arial 14 point. However it will respect and maintain the format for any
document you open or save. You can of course change fonts and other styles
manually. So in summary the free Jart when it opens a blank document will
always have Verdona 13 point as the default font. A lot of people
consider
this to be a good accessible font for people with low vision to read
anyway.
If you really want templates in the free version you can save empty
documents with the fonts and other styles you want set up in Jart, then
simply make these read only. So, for example, if you want a Arial 14
point
template simply open Jart, change the font to Arial 14 and save this
document as arial14.rtf in perhaps a folder called Jart Templates. Close
Jart and find this file in Windows Explorer . Press alt plus enter to
open file properties. Tab until you hear read only and press space bar to
check this. Press OK. Then Make sure that Jart is associated with rtf
files. If you do not know how to do this then repost this as a question
and
instructions can be given.
Now opening arial14.rtf in Explorer will open this as a template within
Jart. The fact that the file is read only will prevent you overwriting
this
file by mistake. Jart will prompt you to select a different file name when
you try to save your work.
Regards
David Griffith

Hi, Marilyn. I don't do any fancy documents where I have to do footnotes
or
anything like that but I'd like something that has a spell checker.

Rosemarie, I haven't actually used Jart for anything yet, but my
cursory run through indicated that it is simple and jaws friendly. It
all depends on what you want it to do. marilyn
