hi, Joanie,
Open office works fine for me as long as I am not in Impress. It works better, by an order of magnitude, with Orca than it does with Jaws or even NVDA. It was Eclipse that kept crashing on me but, as you said, that is for another list. Eclipse is in SWT, you see. I was under the impression that Open Office and now, Libre Office use the swing classes for the portions of the application that are written in Java. Thanks.
