Hi :) A quick search of the Nvda web-site shows they don't list Libre Office yet. They still only have Open Office and they call it OpenOffice.org although it's recently become AOO = Apache OpenOffice.
Can someone on their lists ask them to update? Perhaps give them this link to the relevant page on LO's wiki? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility I think their advice for Open Office is equally relevant to LibreOffice so perhaps make it 1 section called something like "Apache's OpenOffice and TDF's LibreOffice" They have a line about recommending people use IBM's Lotus Symphony which is no longer available afaik and the code is not in AOO just yet. It might take quite a long time to appear. They say there is a problem reading OOo's read-only documents. Is that still a problem? Are LO's difficult to read too? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications The documentation team started to put a lot of work into trying to make them easier but they may have forgotten or got side-tracked. Also Nvda's own guide only seems to be available in html format. Would they like help from LO's team to get it into a nice Pdf and/or Odt format? Perhaps help with getting them available as printed books through Lulu? The docs team generated a little cash that way but more importantly got their guides out to a wider audience. I wonder if Lulu could print in braille? Does anyone here translate LO or OO's guides into braille? If so which languages? Wow! Lots more questions!
