How big is that download now? It was a whopper back in the late '90's. Ted

Subject: OpenOffice, more accessible? I'm copying an item from Dean Martineau's Top Tech Tidbits newsletter this morning because it sounds like a step forward for screenreader users. I'd also be curious if OpenOffice really has become more accessible. Note that Dean has stated his newsletter content can be distributed so long as it is given attribution; otherwise, I wouldn't copy it verbatim. 1) A step forward has been made in accessibility to free Office suites with the release of OpenOffice 4.1 with built-in iAccessible2 support. Screen readers with this support should, in theory, be able to work with OO out of the box, without the need to install Java Access Bridge. Reportedly, support is best with NVDA, with the most recent update for JAWS, which works in most places and forthcoming versions of Window-Eyes may also have support: http://www.openoffice.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
