As far as LibO 5.1.1.3 goes, forget about trying to use either of those programs. It just isn't there. Both AI Squared and Freedom Scientific claim the problem is with LibreOffice's failure to support standard AllY protocols and APIs. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: accessibility+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Problem using Libre office accessibility features
Hi. I have NVDA and Window-Eyes at home and am willing to do a bit of ad hoc testing during the long weekend. I'll submit a report, hopefully by May 30.
