just bloomin typical isnt it.

people always let you down. therefore if you want something doing. do it yourself. that's my motto. after recieving rather shocking news just now from sibelius. I dont think we will be using their products. I wont post the comment made by a representitive of theirs as you may all want to kick this guy's head in. I personally want to grab him where it hurts and hang him

sorry. I guess at present its either text edit or my personal favourite Nisus writer pro.

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.
