Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Writer and Accerciser.

2. Use Accerciser to examine the toggle-able/check-able buttons in the Standard
and Formatting toolbars (e.g. AutoSpellcheck, Bold, Numbering, etc. etc.)

Expected results: Toggle-able buttons would be exposed as ROLE_TOGGLE_BUTTON

Actual results: Toggle-able buttons are exposed as ROLE_PUSH_BUTTON, just like
(nearly) all of the other buttons on these toolbars.

Impact: Orca cannot distinguish a button which is off/untoggled from other,
non-toggle-able push buttons (new, save, print, etc.). As a result, Orca has
three options:

1. Say "off" for all toolbar push button which lacks STATE_CHECKED (current
behavior, results in "off" being spoken when it shouldn't as the user explores
toolbars).

2. Never say "off" for toolbar push buttons (Users might get confused and think
bold is on when it isn't really.)

3. Try to cleverly guess which push buttons are really toggle buttons and which
are not. (Given localization issues, the ability to move and customize toolbars,
etc., this really isn't a reliable option.)

Therefore, it would be awesome if you could change how these objects are exposed
to us. Thanks!
