Hi.
The issue with JAB not working in 3.5.0 was fixed in 3.5.1 and I'm currently
running 3.5.3 on a 32-bit Win7 machine with JAB 2.0.2. I installed JAB
2.0.2 using a nifty lieelt program called Jwin written by Jamal Mazrui.
Jwin automatically downloads and installs the correct version of JAB
OK, Libo 3.5.4 seems to work with JAB 2.0.2. I haven't done exhaustive
testing but menus read and I can use arrow keys to read text within a Writer
document. If JAB wasn't working menus and arrow keys would be silent.

Stuart,
I also attempted to manually install JAB 2.0.2 and could not get NVDA to
read the program and it was probably due to a similar error. I honestly do
not understand why Oracle does not release an executable which nicely
installs JAB as they did with 2.0.1. Jwin did a great job and it's
Hi.
A few weeks ago I downloaded the latest version of LibreOffice but hadn't used

Hello.
A while ago I wrote about accessibility-related issues I was having with Libo
3.5.4 and NVDA 2012.2.1. In this situation I was unable to consistently obtain
feedback while moving the caret through my document with arrow keys. I was
dismayed to see the same results with 3.5.5 even
under
accessibility settings but I still find that I have no access with LO 3.6 and
NVDA 2012.2.1.
