Very strange. Later today when I get done with some business calls, I am
going to uninstall Jarte, start from scratch, and see if there was some key
install process button I happened across that caused my version to be
totally fine and accessible right off the bat. I will report back!

Mine doesn't say that. My version doesn't seem to be very stable, either
for when I open it, it says Jart not responding, but then it seems more or
less OK. I just upgraded to the newest version. I imagine there are
settings I'm not aware of to make it like yours, but at least I got the alt
menus to work.

Hi All,
I cannot now recall the exact sequence of events, but when I bring up
Jarte, the title line (JAWS key plus t), says "Jarte (screen reader mode)"
From what seems apparent, Jarte is intended to be screen reader friendly.
If you are not getting that same title line, then probably someone on
this list will know how to get that setting correct. It might also
require a re-boot to take effect, or maybe Jarte needs to be
uninstalled and reinstalled, but somehow it Jarte caught on I was
using a screen reader and was easy as pie from the beginning. I never
understood that easy as pie slogan.

When I installed Jart only the File menu worked. Press Alt-V and the
View menu will appear. Arrow-down and check Main Menu. This will make
the menu accessible with the Alt key.
Hope this helps,
Russ

How do you work the spell check? And How do I learn about the alt key
menus?

Thanks Gerald for the information. I found that all the items we
would typically want, including spellcheck, are also on those nice
regular alt key menus. There is also a very cool clipboard memory
buffer under the Tools menu. I highly recommend going through all the
available menu items, there are great features there.

Jarte uses the same classic menu structure as Wordpad, upon which it
is based. You just press the Alt key to launch the menus, just as you
would with any other program. To invoke the spell checker, just press F7.

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!

I agree, and that's why I have Jarte.

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.
