OpenOffice has announced that when 3.0 is release later this year it
will be accessible with VoiceOver. I have yet to see any beta versions
that are however.

As has been discussed before, Office 2008 is not accessible. So with
the announcement of Open Office 2.4 being released I thought I'd
give the other ones a try. Open Office 2.4 is the last Mac release
that will require X11 so this should certainly help them on their
way to becoming accessible. I had to hunt a bit but I found the Open
Office 3.0beta download for Mac which is now a native app here:
porting.openoffice.org/download/aqua.html
162MB later (400MB uncompressed) I found that not much has changed.
The pull-down menus are accessible but my quick test of opening up a
new word processing document showed that the document is not
readable (or reachable) with voiceover. That's assuming you could
get past the silent initial setup wizard. Just for the fun of it I
also updated NeoOffice to 2.2.3 patch 1 with similar results.
Nothing to see here. Please move on.
