[JAWS-Users] Open Office, compatibility with JAWS 15
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if Open Office is compatible with JAWS 15, 6025? I know that it didn’t use to be, but I was hoping there might have been a change to where it would work now. I am using JAWS 15, latest update, on a Win 8.1 computer. Thanks for any help.

Hi steven. i tried using open office with mixed results. The writer works fairly well calc is totally unaccessible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] open office .org
Open Office is a free, Open Source office productivity suite developed mostly at Sun Microsystems. Sun also developed Java and used Open Office to promote Java. It can read and write Microsofft Office documents as well as it's own open, documented file types. It is roughly equivalent to Microsoft Office 2003. Additionally, the software is multi-platform, meaning the same code runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Unfortunately, on Windows it is not accessible as of the last time I heard.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Open Office
I once installed Open Office and I'm not sure what happened but after installing it, Jaws failed to work correctly until I uninstalled the program. Not only did the Open Office program not work with jaws but other areas like the desktop quit working properly. I would only here the word blank when navigating. Not sure what the conflict was but it was resolved when Open Office was uninstalled.

Re: [JAWS-Users] open office
I played with it a couple of weeks ago with JAWS 10, and no joy. Many, possibly most, of the hot keys for MS Office work with Open Office, but JAWS doesn't interpret it well. Word could be done, with care and futzing, but the spread sheet application doesn't see the cells at all. At 01:00 PM 8/14/2009, you wrote: Is there anyone out there using jaws with open office?

I have never used it so I can't comment. I still use Wordperfect13, but among the free processors, I prefer abiword which looks like word.

[JAWS-Users] Open Office
I have seen some comments on the list about Open Office being inaccessible. I thought I should report that with the Java Access Bridge, Java, Open Office 3 is completely accessible to all aspects of its programs at least in Writer and Calc. I have tested this with Jaws 9 and 10 and both work fine. You do need to turn on the accessibility option in Open Office which is a bit of a nonsense as the application can be inaccessible until you do this. The best advice is to follow the instructions on the NVDA application support page for making Open Office 3 accessible. There is also a registry patch here which will turn on the Open Office Accessibility options. Although these instructions relate to making NVDA work with Open Office they appear to work just as well for Jaws. After following these steps I have found that Open Office has become pretty much indistinguishable from using Microsoft Word and Excel in terms of accessibility with Jaws . I am using XP Pro but I am not sure that the OS is particularly important here.
