Hmm, I tried the same shift+arrow selection on some random Word docs I had laying around and with a few public ones and couldn't reproduce the issue. Here's one public one I played with: http://www.nfpa.org/assets/files//PDF/Forms/EvacuationGuide.doc Are you able to select multiple paragraphs

One question that became a showstopper for me with openoffice is that i can't select more than a couple of lines and when you come to a new paragraph, you unselect the previously selected piece of text. That is with VO commands, no other command works for me. That plus the fact that you

Chris, How's the accessibility of the word processor in Open Office? Is it any better than Writer? Thanks, Eliza On May 8, 2009, at 3:05 PM, Chris Blouch wrote: To answer my own question, I didn't notice much difference. Navigation of a table I created in writer

I'm not Chris, but Open Office is pretty accessible. The world processor is a bit different to use than others, but they have come a long way. I'm not sure what the problem with spreadsheets is. I am seeing the cells being read. With tables in word processor documents, however,

I've not used Writer but the basic stuff actually works reasonably well. I only tried out the table stuff because that's where I got stuck in the past. I can select ranges of text, check spelling and other stuff ok. Since it's free you can download a copy and give it a whirl. CB Eliza Cooper
