Apple has a built in function to read selected text. If you canselect
the entire ocument, under the menu of open office litterally, there is
a services menu. In that submenu is a speech menu. that menu has
start and stop speaking in it. click start speaking and the system
voice wil begin speaking the highlighted text. Click stop speaking
and it stops but there is o way to control it beyond that for
instance, when you click start again, it starts from the beginning.
Another way to do this is to save the document and open it in text
edit and use control-option-a to read continuously but your milage
will vary with document structure complexity. You can mittigate this
by setting the document to plain text.

Hello list, I have quite a bit of research to read and I am wondering
if there is any way possible to have voice over read continuously
through the document in open office without having to constantly use
command option down arrow and at the end of each page click next page?
