The Jarte word processor includes only the features likely to be needed by real people. Jarte is designed for students, writers, small business people, and home users. But what really makes Jarte special is the unique way it makes the features that are included easily accessible.

Features include RTF and DOC support, OLE support, visual header & footer designer, clip history, online reference bar, tabbed document access, spell check, page breaks, print preview, multi-level undo & redo, customizable background, bookmarking, and many more. A detailed Help file is included.

You expect a word processor to be able to handle Word documents, font and paragraph formatting, spell checking, print preview, and more.

• Spell check and text search tools that do not park themselves on top of the text you are trying to edit
• Single click bookmarking that make bookmarks both useful and usable
• Instant access to the documents and folders you designate as your favorites
• Instant access to the fonts you designate as your favorites
• Use of the mouse scroll wheel button to copy and paste text

It is Jarte´s thoughtful details that will leave you wondering how you lived with that cumbersome office word processor for so long.

What's New in version 3.3:

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.
