New Features:
A optional Quick Bar feature has been added that provides instant access to a number of frequently used features.
In addition to left aligned tabs, Jarte's ruler now supports right, center, and decimal aligned tabs.
A new Stay on Top option has been added to the Options menu.
A global hot key can be defined for the Clip List menu. This makes it easy to access the Clip List while using programs other than Jarte.
A new Paste Board feature displays a special document tab that automatically records everything copied to the clipboard.
A new Line Guide feature displays a colored, translucent, moveable, horizontal bar that can be used to highlight a line of interest in a document.
Jarte's interface background pattern can be changed to one of the installed backgrounds, extra backgrounds provided on the Jarte web site, or to any custom background. Previously, this feature was exclusive to Jarte Plus.
Jarte's various color selection palettes now include a new row of color selection buttons to which the user can assign custom colors.
Jarte now supports the keyboard's Scroll Lock key. When Scroll Lock is enabled document scrolling can be performed using the up and down arrow keys. The Scroll Lock state is displayed in the status bar. This feature can be disabled.
Jarte will now automatically mirror the left and right page margins, and the header and footer lines, between odd and even pages when printing double-sided printouts.
If the "underline" font attribute is selected for the header/footer font then Jarte will draw a solid line across the printed page under the header line and above the footer line.
Jarte will now perform a descending order sort when the Sort feature is selected while pressing the Shift key.
Clicking the "Go to Top" button on the Find Bar while pressing the Shift key will now cause the text cursor to move to the bottom of the page instead of the top.
Pressing the Shift key while the mouse is positioned over a tab causes the full file path of the document to be displayed in Jarte's title bar.
The position of a table column can now be easily moved via the Edit Table window.
The Options menu on Jarte's Find Bar now includes "Insert Carriage Return" and "Insert Tab" items which make it easy to include those characters in the search text.
The status bar can now switched to a text based status bar. This may be preferred by users who use Jarte's Minimal Layout. Right click on the status bar and select "Use Text Status Bar".
Double clicking an empty area next to the tabs will now start a new document.
Many other small tweaks and enhancements have been added.
New Jarte Plus Exclusive Features:
The buttons on the new Quick Bar are completely configurable in Jarte Plus.
Custom shortcut keys for Jarte's features can now be created. This includes the ability redefine or remove Jarte's factory defined shortcut keys.
A new split view mode allows two documents to be displayed simultaneously either side-by-side or one over the other.
File hyperlinks can now specify a "jump to" text target. When the file is opened via the hyperlink Jarte Plus will automatically scroll down to the first occurrence of the specified text target.
Project files are now supported. When Jarte Plus opens a project file it will automatically open the files pointed to by any file hyperlinks contained in the project file.
The status bar can now show a continuously updated word count. Right click on the status bar and select "Enable Word Counting".
Command line parameter "/PL" has been added to allow landscape printing from the command line.
A printable PDF manual is included with all Jarte Plus purchases. Previously, the PDF manual was only available with the purchase of the Jarte Plus CD.
Bug Fixes:
The document title was not being included in the spooled print job when the Quick Print or the Print and Exit features were used.
The Recent Fonts submenu of the Fonts menu was not always being properly updated.
There were cases where Jarte was not automatically starting in screen reader mode even if a screen reader was already running.
Jarte 3.3 allowed hyperlinks to folders. That capability was inadvertently lost in Jarte 3.4, but it has now been restored.
If a backslash character was included in the "Line to show" field of the Insert Hyperlink window then the "Line to show" text was not properly formatted when inserted into the document.
The Smart Quotes menu item in the Options menu did not always properly reflect whether the Smart Quotes feature was currently enabled.
Files names containing the ampersand character were not properly displayed in the Tabs menu.
The Tabs menu was not being immediately updated to reflect the new file name when Save As was used to save a file under a different name.
Jarte allowed saving to read-only files when certain non-text changes were made to the document (e.g., setting bookmarks, changing print settings, etc).
Jarte did not always properly load the page margins and paper size from documents created with a word processor other than Jarte.
If the Minimal Layout was in use, and the alternate main menu was in use, and a plain text document was opened, the Paragraph menu items always appeared disabled from that point forward even if the user switched to a rich text document.
Other small fixes have been added.

pms: Glad to see the portability issues with Jarte are finally sorted - this has been my primary word processor for a while now, and I love it. Not only is it small and very nimble in use, it also has spell-checking, tabs, and can even handle doc files.
The quirky interface isn't to my taste however, but the option to use a minimal view saves the day. [2008-02-25 06:21]
Commander: It may "support" docx files, but apparently it cannot produce them unless you have Word 2007 installed on your machine.
It's a nice piece of software, but I think the program description needs to make it clear that the docx writing function is dependent on having Word 2007 already. [2008-02-25 07:10]
Tim: A neat little app, and I really like the novel approach they've taken with the interface.
Unfortunately, due to a limitation inherent to wordpad, you can't display formatting marks/invisible characters such as spaces and carriage returns, and that's a deal-breaker for me. [2008-02-26 09:33]
cch: After the first time running Jarte as you said, I found a key added into registry says I've opened "Welcome.rtf". Is there anyway to avoid this?
And what if I don't create the ini file? [2008-03-14 08:19]
Ernie: Keeps crashing when I try to export as "html".
Worked fine 'til I inserted a table into the document although some formating doesn't seem to carry over, eg., highlighting, bulleted text. [2008-03-14 09:53]
surya narayan singh: review of jarte 3.3

Webfork: A problematic editor that still delivers on some important elements. Despite these flaws, the program is very feature-rich, friendly and powerful. One of the best text editors I've seen.
Although I didn't like the interface, its a step up from crappy Office '08 "ribbons." Would be confusing for the average user sitting down to type something. Fortunately, you can set it to "minimal" and it works just like a very clean text editor.
Also, I couldn't make the program connect to the Internet to check dictionary, theasaurus, and encyclopedia entries. A pretty serious bug considering this is a pretty easy function for software. [2008-09-19 13:16]
Webfork: Fixed the program connect issue mentioned in previous comment -- was my machine, not Jarte. [2008-09-20 10:25]
ThMoJe: Not truely portable, as it depends on Microsoft Office compatibility packs and viewers to read doc and docx files, and office pack to write doc and docx. [2010-04-03 08:49]
Peter Ballantyne: When switched to the minimal interface Jarte is so perfect for the limited screen size and resources of netbooks that it might almost have been written with them in mind. I use it on an early Asus eeepc 701 with a 7 inch screen and it's brilliant and incredibly nimble in that environment. [2010-05-07 02:51]
BrianL: I've been using Jarte since 3.0 on and off. I used to maintain on my system MS Office, Lotus SmartSuite, OpenOffice, Lotus Symphony and WordPerfect. Over a period of time, a couple of years I traced what apps I actually used and found WordPerfect was at the top of the list. Since then I have discontinued and removed OpenOffice, SmartSuite, Symphony and even MS Office leaving me with WordPerfect and Jarte. Jarte, especially in the current 4.1 version is great as a note taker in lieu of the likes of MS OneNote and WordPerfect Lightning and as a full wordprocessor program (at least the inexpensive full version - for the asking price of only $20 well worth the price). I especially like the ability built in in the later versions where you can call up the program to capture a field in another program, edit it, spell check it and then move it back with single key-stroke. A great way to make sure e-mails, client records, etc. are spell checked and not an embarrassment. Also, creating a template is easy as it is no more than an .rtf format.
Loads and saves are very simple and make full office apps feel like a try slug.
The app allows it to be put only a flash drive and this I do. It will integrate with PortableApps.com system though for some reason it is not a PortableApps program. PortableApps does have an OpenOffice version but compared to Jarte, it is unbearably slow to open. I maintain OOo on the flash only for the spreadsheet.
Recommendation: AAA+, a must have.
Cons: Only one is that it makes me have to save in a format other than WP. Not a big problem as I simply use .rtf as a default format for most documents. I prefer not to save in a .doc format. [2010-05-31 20:35]
Stu: I couldn't get it to save my color backrounds or selected fonts in making new documents. Maybe this is because I took off the word processor from Microsoft Word from my machine. But even the RTF format, I had the same problem with Jarte. [2010-06-13 00:58]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
