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.
