Open office and Orca has got it's own problems as far as accessibility
has concerned and I won't recommend it in a workplace cinario at least

Open office spread sheet and Orca is also not  as smooth as MS office
and JAWS, as of now.
Eagerly waiting for the latest release of Ubuntu, the Intrepid soon.
