Sam, Part of the problem is getting accurate information. I believe it is safe to say that Open Office does not work well with Window-Eyes at this point. If you write to the open office lists, the answer one seems to get is that it is now completely accessible. However, when one talks to people using it under Windows, even with the competition, there seems to be some gaps. One also has to be careful to know if they are talking about a beta version or a released version. It is even possible that both sources are correct, that Open Office now supports accessibility tools that are not completely implemented in screen readers. However, I don't think we really know how well it works under Windows. The bottom line is that it is confusing to those of us who have been trying to follow Open Office development so it is hard to give you an answer that one can trust..
