Hi, Linett.
The program you're writing about is probably LibreOffice, which is, as
you said, a free office suite. When you open the main LibreOffice
program, there are likely some options such as choices to create a
document, spreadsheet, etc. and I thought that pressing the tab key
moved to these options.
However, to make things easier you could just open Writer, which is
LibreOffice's word processor which is similar to Microsoft Word. It will
probably not be on your desktop initially but you could just go into the
start menu and type the word Writer and Windows should find the Writer
program.
When I was testing LibreOffice 4 I seem to recall there were some
crashes with Window-Eyes. However, LibreOffice is now past version 5.0
and things may well be stable. I have not had a chance to test
LibreOffice with Window-Eyes 9.2 and so I don't know if that particular
combination will work well together.

Hello. The guy who helped to set up my system installed a free program
called Office Libre. It is a free Office facsimile that is used in a
number of countries. When I open it, nothing happens; nothing on the
screen is spoken, and I can't find any menus. Does anyone else use
this? If not, aree there any other free word processing programs out
there?
Thank you.
Peace.
Linette
