Hi Gerald,
Thanks, I'll file this for future reference. I don't have problems with Word
because I'm using Word 2000, as I prefer its thesaurus even to that of Word
2003. But at some point, soon, I have to suppose that Jaws will lose enough
of its support for older Word versions that I'll have to migrate somewhere
or other, if Jaws doesn't keep up with the evolution of Word very well.
One question does occur to me, which is what's inadequate about something
like WordPad for purposes like what you describe? It's got some formatting
capabilities and other functions that make it more functional than the
bare-bones Notepad, and it's free and part of Windows. Isn't that good
enough, without getting into these other word processors you mention? Thanks
for explaining.

Hi Yardbird,
Jarte is a free word processor based on the Wordpad platform that adds a few
useful features like a built-in spell checker, the ability to easily create
and save document templates, and the ability to save documents in Word or
RTF formats. It works better with JAWS than any other free word processor
I've examined, including Abiword, Atlantis Nova, Yeah Write, and Open
Office. Unlike Ms Word 2007, its menus are straightforward and easy to
navigate. It's a good alternative to Word for writing basic letters,
reports and other documents that don't require a lot of sophisticated
formatting. You can download Jarte from the following website:
http://www.jarte.com/download.html
Hope this helps.
