Just finished downloading Libre Office and it still has the table
problem. I insert a new 2 by 2 table and as I navigate the cells they
are all announced as "Edit Text" so there is no way to know which row of
column I'm in. Well, there is the trick I posted about a while back of
setting a live region in the region at the bottom of the page which does
give the letter/number position inside the table, but I shouldn't have
to do that.
I tried VO-A on a document and it only read the first paragraph. I could
VO-down and read each paragraph as a block but not the whole document. I
was able to position my cursor at the beginning of a paragraph and
shift-down to select it and a couple paragraphs after that which I could
then cut, move somewhere else and paste, so that seemed to work ok. It
also announced every blank line between paragraphs as "Edit Text" which
is kind of verbose. Would rather have it just say "blank".

Hi,
When i tried Openoffice i found a couple of show stoppers:
the paragraphs or even new lines were presented as separate edit boxes making it
impossible to read using the "say all" command vo+a. I couldn't select long
blocks of text to delete, move or otherwise manipulate, thereby making this function
practically useless. This is in the openoffice word processor. Since others can use it,
it would be nice to know what in the world i do wrong, or if there's some setting
somewhere i need to change. I definitely prefer Pages for word processing, though i
mostly do simple text writing, so textedit is enough for me.

While I only played with it a bit in the word processor I found table
navigation was difficult because it wouldn't announce what row or column I was
in or at least what heading I was under. Lots of the other stuff worked
decently. It's free so why not just download it and give it a whirl?

Hi all,
I heard that OpenOffice will work with vo. What limitations are there to this
support? In Windows, OO is all but unuseable, and I wonder if vo will run into
any problems of which I should be aware before I try it. TIA. Oh, I am not
willing to spend money on Pages or any of the others, especially since I now
have my mac set to dual boot with Win7 and I have an MS Office installation I
can put on if I need it. Of course, though, I want to do as much as possible
in mac.
Have a great day,
