Since technology evolved so much in the last decade, writing drafts with the help of the computer has become quite easy, and less time-consuming. Almost everyone owns at least one personal PC and has a steady Internet connection. The vast diversity of text editors you can find on the Internet is most of the times, overwhelming, and can turn out to be frustrating.

If you are among those who just want a small yet practical utility to compose basic documents, without unnecessary add-ons to clutter the look, then jqEditor, might be a good choice. It comes packed with all the core files in an archive, which can be easily copied to an external drive, and run directly from any computer.

However, in order to work, Java needs to be present on the hard disk or updated to the latest version. If you're confused where to find the executable, try searching in the "Files" directory. The provided interface is approachable and accessible, with all the options in plain sight, and with support for multiple tabs, which makes the writing process more efficient.

The supported file formats are JQ, TXT and DOC. Sadly, the password protection, only applies to the JQ records, and requires a security question and answer, followed by the custom key. To open an item, just browse its location on the computer, or simply paste text from another source.

There isn't much to do, as the app only provides the basic features to quickly, import content from another document, go back to the original content, and find specific words. There are no options to customize the text, insert images, tables, or format the composition, to properly fit the window. The printing settings are standard, and require for you to configure the page layout, size and orientation.

Taking everything into account, jqEditor is an intuitive and simple program that comes in handy, only for those who want an uncomplicated and practical tool, to write drafts, personal thoughts or ideas.
