Portable Jarte

While Microsoft Word comes with several extensive options, there are other tools online that can perform most of the tasks for a lower price or even for free. Portable Jarte is such a program that was designed to serve as your text editor.

While the app’s interface isn’t exactly usual compared to other similar tools. Its structure is simple, so it should be easy to figure out by all users.

As mentioned, the utility is a tabbed word processor that enables you to open and swap between multiple files at the same time.

The app comes with support for multiple file formats, such as RTF, TXT, DOC and DOCX and can save the files to the same extensions, sans the latter one, which is native to Microsoft Word. However, the files can also be saved to PDF or HTML as an alternative.

The program has several basic tools such as undo, redo, cut, copy and paste, as well as a search and replace function. It also has a spell checking tool that should be quite helpful. A dictionary and thesaurus are also available.

You may view document counts (pages, lines, words and characters), manage tabs, split the view, zoom in and out, and insert various types of data, such as the date and time, pictures, hyperlinks, tables and special characters.

Since the program is completely portable, it doesn’t need to be installed to the computer and can be launched from any type of removable device, such as flash drives.

The bottom line is that Portable Jarte is a nice tool that can be fun to have around. Less experienced users should find it easy to handle, thanks to the intuitive layout and its overall simplicity.
