I have to correct you here and say OpenOffice works very well with at least Nvda. Window-Eyes well I can understand that from what I read.

Open Office will not work well with any screen reader.  It has not been 
redesigned to be accessible and it never has been.

Give it up as WE will not work at a useful level with Open Office.

Hi:
I downloaded the latest version of OpenOffice 4.10 on my Windows7
system here at home.
I had Java Access Bridge installed, and I activated the accessibility options.
I found that it didn't work, meaning, it would not read text that I
had typed or dialogs that came up such as when I was asked if I wanted
to save the current document.  I managed to read these things with the
mouse and click on discard.

Out of curiosity, I uninstalled Java Access Bridge to see if it would
have an impact.  Of course, it didn't.  Then I reinstalled Java Access
Bridge and tried it again.
It acted the same way.
My question is, why is JAVA Access Bridge not making a diference, and
how do I fix that?
