I've been trying this out as well using my manuscript files for the Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org book (http://documentation.openoffice.org/conceptualguide/). It works very well; the only issue I am currently having is I am getting an error message when it tries creating the navigation. I am trying to determine what I am doing wrong and will report back as soon as I find out.

Thanks for bringing up this topic, Drew. I will work on getting the Conceptual Guides book created into the full Daisy format and made available through the Documentation Project site. At that point, feel free to redistribute to the AFB, public libraries or anywhere you feel this may be of value to someone.

Coincidently, I have been corresponding recently with a non-profit centre in Ontario Canada that assists persons with disabilities who are actively looking for employment and need assistance with job searching and further developing their employability skills. Due to the economic situation many countries are facing, they too are facing significant cuts in government funding and are looking for ways to reduce costs so that they can continue to maintain the quality of the services they provide to their clients. They are in the process of converting over all of their training computers, as well as staff workstations, over to using OpenOffice.org.

To assist, I donated a number of paperback copies of my A Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org 3 book, enough to supply each training workstation, as well as instructor/staff copies, so that they would have some printed instructional guides to help them get started. This donation was received by the centre's director and staff with great excitement and joy, and they wanted me to pass along their sincere appreciation to everyone with the OpenOffice.org project, including those creating documentation, for making the software and related resources available. Having documentation / resources in the Daisy format may also be able to assist this particular centre, as well as others in similar circumstances.

Anyone who has any other suggestions like Drew's, or can suggest open source utilities / tools that may help persons with disabilities use OpenOffice.org, I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.

did you read the manual?
AFAIR it explains a bit how the extension works.

will push on, and drop todays files onto a server for others to check
out when I'm done today.

Good!

If there are any testers, I'd be interested too as until now, nobody has
given feedback on my translation ;-(

If I have the time, I'll try harder to install full daisybook
capabilities on my system.
