Hi, list, Did a small test drive of Libre Office on Windows with Jaws yesterday. Writer appears to work for basic documents. There is a bit of a delay before the text you type appears to the screen reader but I think someone who knows how to write jaws scripts in the jaws scripting language can work with it and make it fully accessible. I haven't gotten a chance to work with Calc or Impress or any of the others yet. One thing I did notice is the menus and things are much snappier than Open Office was. That was nice.
