   Is Jarte a windows program?

   I also rarely used one until recently.  I have Libreoffice installed on a   
   couple of computers.  The spreadsheet program works just fine... as good or   
   better than Excel... but the word processor not so much.  I was recently   
   trying to do a few more complicated things to a document and found that it   
   is severely lacking vs. Word.  I can do the same things but it takes more   
   hoops to jump through -- complicated enough that it is easy to miss a   
   step -- it really made me miss Word.   
      
   I may have to get an older copy of Word installed on my old Win98SE laptop   
   and start doing my editing that way.  It was that bad.  :(   
      
   I am keeping my eyes open for some other linux alternatives, though.
