He has already voiced concern that OpenDocument appears to be inferior to Microsoft Office in offering features to help users with eyesight difficulties."
Our response should note that Mr. Pacheco is confusing a format (OpenDocument) with an application (Microsoft Office). OpenDocument is simply a way of storing all the content and structure in a document; it is up to an application to convey that information to the user. Because OpenDocument *is* open, it is easier for innovators to add that capability to their applications without fear of licensing issues, etc. -- J.
