Hi David.
I seem to remember some one saying when window-eyes 6.0 came out about
how nice all the microsoft office features are, but what about corel
stuff? The gw staff reported at the time that corel was flat
disinterested in working with gw micro.
The new script functionality definitely opens up posibilities for
third party extentions, but unless corel's stance has changed in the
past year regarding accessibility, it's doubtful that gw staff will
invest much in it.
Best,
Erik

On one of my computers, there is installed Corel WordPerfect X3
Office suite. The latest setfile I can see in the setfile manager,
for WordPerfect, is for WP12. And I tried to load that one. Seems
like it works quite ok, from the short test of mine, with the
WordPerfect text editor, itself.
But the WP Office suite also contains a spreadsheet - Quattro Pro. I
tried to open it, and loaded one of my MS Excel spreadsheet into it.
It loaded OK. But when moving the cursor up/down, with the arrow
keys, Win-Eyes does not speak anything. The Braille display just
sits on the top ruler (reading A B C D ...). I noticed that the
contents of the cell is two lines above this 'ruler' line, and tried
to define an user window, using INS-F4/F5. Then setting WE to show
the user window (CTRL-B). But it doesn't work. The Braille display
goes heywire, sometimes showing the cell contents, soetimes showing
a blank line, and sometimes showing whatever else it finds on the
screen, and thinks I would enjoy putting my fingers on. :) And, the
speech? Hm! It only reports 'blank'. Not really funny... :)
I did realize, that if I set WE to trak the mouse, instead of
tracking focus, it gets somehow better. But then, when I want to
select something from the menus - i.e from the file- or view- menu -
neither speech, nor Braille will help me out, till I return to
'track focus'.
Has anyone been using quatttro pro? Do you have some tips, or does
anyone have a setfile / script that will do the trick?
In the same token: Has anyone of you been working with WP Mail;
found in the same suite from Corel.
Some techs: The software is named Corel WordPerfect Office X3, and
it seems like it was released in 2006. I am running WinXP Pro, all
updates, and WE 7.0Beta2.
Thanks for any feedback!
