Status Bar
The Status Bar contains a number of indicators about the status of the current document. Many of the indicators also perform an action when clicked with the mouse.
Bookmark Navigation Buttons: These buttons are used to jump to bookmarked locations in the document. They only appear if at least one bookmark has been set in the document. See bookmarks for more details.
Line and Column Positions: Indicates the line number and column number of the text caret's current position. Clicking this indicator causes Jarte to prompt you for a line number. Jarte then repositions the text caret to the specified line.
The line and column number is also used temporarily display the current document zoom level when that value is changed.
Page Number and Page Count: Indicates the page number of the text caret's current position and the total number of pages in the document. The page number and page count are based on the current printer settings. Clicking this indicator causes Jarte to prompt you for a page number. Jarte then repositions the text caret to the top of the specified page. This indicator is not provided if Jarte can not locate a default printer for the computer.
Page counting can be turned off by right clicking on the page count and unchecking the Show Page Count option in the popup menu. Turning off page counting can be useful when working with very large documents since page counting in such documents uses more of the computer's processing power.
Tip: The text color of the line, column, and page number indicators can be changed by right clicking on either indicator and selecting the Status Color item in the popup menu. The popup color chooser is used to make the color choice.
Unsaved Changes Indicator: This indicator is lit if the current document contains unsaved modifications. Clicking the indicator saves the document in same manner as if the File Tools panel's Save button was clicked.
Tip: Right click on the document tabs to see the "unsaved changes" status of all open documents at once. The documents with unsaved changes have a special symbol ( 
) next to them.
Overwrite Indicator: This indicator is lit if the text caret is in overwrite mode, as opposed to the usual insert mode.
Document Format Indicator: Indicates whether the current document is using rich text formatting ( 
) or plain text formatting ( 
). A document can be switched to either rich format or plain format by clicking the indicator and selecting the desired format in the popup menu. The popup menu also presents an option to control whether new documents default to using rich format or plain format.
Caps Lock Indicator: This indicator is lit if the Caps Lock key is toggled down.
Word Wrap Indicator: Indicates whether the current document's text is wrapped ( 
) or not wrapped ( 
). Clicking the indicator toggles the document's text between wrapped and not wrapped.
Read Only Indicator: This indicator is lit if the current document is a read only document.
Tip: A document can be made a read only document by clicking the File Tools panel's File Properties button and checking the read only checkbox. A read only document can be made a normal document by unchecking the read only checkbox.
Tip: A document can be temporarily treated as a read only document when it is opened by checking the Open as read only checkbox in the Open dialog box. This is useful when you want to be sure that you do not accidentally modify the document being opened.
