Appears to use the Wordpad engine. Microsoft is discontinuing Wordpad, so in future systems, QJot may lose functionality.

QJot is discontinued ... some discontinued apps have an after life, (IMO) QJot is past it !

There are no margin settings in QJot Page margins default to L3cm, R3cm, T2.5cm, B2.5cm ... (L1.2", R1.2", T1.0", B1.0") The only way to set margins is in other programs like ... AbiWord, Ableword, Libre Writer, MS-WordPad ... etc

HTML to RTF and RTF to HTML is not possible

  • QJot only provides for two file types .RTF and .DOC ... not even an "All Types" option.

All text and images in QJot created documents were rendered correctly by all tester apps Last update Dec-2008 ... Developer's web-page is GONE

SOURCES: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qjot.html http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Text-editors/QJot.shtml Test apps.: QJot, AbleWord, AbiWord, LibreWriter, MS-WordPad

TEST METHODS: Created DOC and RTF files with QJot Opened each document with ... AbleWord², AbiWord, LibreWriter², MS-WordPad² ²_Windows versions_
