Open Office beta 2

[Scott Howell]

Well I just installed and I'm currently checking it out. Yes, big  
improvements. Some interesting and yet odd behavior. First it really  
provides a lot of info. Tells you exactly where you are as you move  
the cursor, tells you where the insertion point is and all that good  
stuff. What I've noticed and haven't had a set of eyes confirm, is  
that as you move along with the arrow keys, your told when something  
is highlighted or unhighlighted. I don't know if this is do to the  
fact chars are highlighted as you move the cursor or if this is some  
sort of bug/miscommunication between the application and VO. I'll have  
to confirm this, but yes, this is very much an improvement and a good  
start to a fully accessible office-type suite.
I'll share more as I have time to dig into it.
