Jarte - A Cool, Free, Portable Word Processor

Pin It

What the heck is a Jarte?

Jarte \jär · 'tay\ noun (est. 2001) 1. A free word processor based on the Microsoft WordPad word processing engine built into Windows. 2. A fast starting, easy to use word processor that expands well beyond the WordPad feature set. 3. A small, portable word processor whose documents are fully compatible with Word and WordPad.

I've been into portable apps lately, simply because I can use them on my office computer, which otherwise would not allow me to install the apps I like. Jarte is small enough to use as a protable app that runs from your flash drive. It has some cool features that make it a great application in its own right, too.
