That's the tag used by the promoters of Jarte, 'A word processor for the rest of us'. They compare Word with an ocean liner, difficult to manoeuvre. If you are after the essentials, including spell checker, its worth a try. Its based on the MS Wordpad RTF engine, but has much more functionality. It works pretty well with Window-Eyes, although you have to do some customising to get the menu bar and status bar to show up, and the control panel to the left to disappear. After that, you should be on your way. For those who can see a bit it is also quite friendly as the zoom features are very good. About the only thing its not equiped with is table creation. There's a 'Plus' version too which of course is paid for, and obviously gives a few more bells and whistles.
