Hi!
First of all I've to say that my English is not the best but I hope you will understand what I want to say^^

no problem, You know there is a german user list, too, at http://de.openoffice.org/ ?

Because of a visually impairment I have to use a screen magnifier (ZoomText or Magic). These programs have a useful feature: when you're writing a document, the screen magnifier follows the cursor, at least in MS Word this works. I really miss this feature in OO because working is so very difficult for me. So my question: Would it be possible to integrate something like this into the next versions of OO? It really would make work easier for lots of visually handicapped people.

this is already possible.
Open Online Help, enter "accessibility" as index entry, double click the link about "assistive technology" to find the requirements and specifications. In short, you need to install Java Runtime Environment and the Java Access Bridge software, then you can use Zoomtext 7.11 or later.
