Hello Chris

My apologies; we are both way way behind on mail at the moment owing to lots 
and lots of work for both. Anyway, as I understand it, OpenOffice is still not 
accessible, or at least not fully so. The way paragraphs are concerned, for 
instance, they are read and handled very strangely with VoiceOver I am told. We 
actually tried it I think it was either last year or late 2011 and ended up 
reinstalling our Mac. It did some strange stuff that we couldn't fix.

I am sorry to be so negative and I'm very much hoping that there are later 
messages in this thread which tell me that I am wrong and things have improved.

Lynne

I've heard mixed opinions on this.  How is the accessibility of Open Office, 
opinions not withstanding.  I understand that for some people it's just not 
their cup of tea, but leaving opinions out, going only on fact, is OpenOffice 
worth my time in at least getting and experimenting with?  I hear that a lot of 
the dialogs in it are quite nonstandard, and though they're somewhat doable, I 
hear they're kind of weird until you figure them out and know what you're 
doing.  I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried it, and what kind of luck 
if any you had with it, even if only minimum satisfaction.
