can you tell me what is happening with accessibility so far in open

program. do you know if it is any way accessible at present or are we
facing the same hitch as iWork?
Well, as OpenOffice.org is open source project, it's something anyone
with the skills could get involved in fixing:
http://ui.openoffice.org/accessibility/

All the office suites use highly customized controls, especially for the
main document display; whether the Apple Accessibility API is genuinely
capable of reflecting the functionality of such controls without Apple
making changes to it is perhaps open to question.
