Jarte, occasionally referred to as "Jarate"[1], is a word processor for users of Microsoft Windows, based on the WordPad engine, produced by Carolina Road Software. In terms of market appeal, Jarte is a lighter alternative to the feature laden Microsoft Word. The standard version of Jarte is offered free of charge, while a Jarte Plus, originally a paid enhanced version, has also been made free.[2] The (formerly) purchasable version offers a variety of extra features, including Auto-Correct and Auto-Outline. In most other respects, Jarte Plus is the same as the freeware version.[3] As of May 2020, the software's official website states that support is no longer available and there will be no further updates.

Features

Both versions are provided with a

Wordpad replacement, it can additionally create and save; tables, strikeout, superscript, subscript, "extra" colors, text background colors (highlighting), numbered lists, right or left indent, quasi-hypertext and URL linking, and various line spacings, — all of which Wordpad can read, interpret, and save.[4]

Jarte bears a resemblance to TextEdit. It has three selectable basic layouts: mini, compact, and full, each with user-selectable menus, bars, panels, and so forth. One form looks similar to WordPad's layout. Jarte offers 'tabbed' functionality. It supports touch screen gestures on Windows 8 and above.[5]
