I am using Jarte. It is free, although there is a paid version available. Visit:

http://www.jarte.com

I am using Windows 7. There is apparently some sort of Microsoft update that no longer allows Jarte to open doc files unless you download a converter pack. When you try to open a doc file Jarte will tell you about the converter pack and where to download it. I did that and am using Jarte successfully.

I also found templates to address envelopes and make mailing labels with Jarte, although I have not really done more than address an envelope for practice so far.

Hi list. My new computer did not have microsoft word installed, so I am using wordpad. Can anyone recommend a free program that converts .doc files to .txt files that is jaws friendly,, or some other solution short of purchasing Word? Thanks in advance for help.
