Re: [Mac-access]: Using VoiceOver in Libre Office

2015-01-03 Thread Ryan Mann
If you have a newer Mac, Pages is free. It can export  into Word and other 
formats. Unlike Libre Office, it doesn't separate every paragraph into a 
separate VoiceOver group.

[Mac-access]: Using VoiceOver in Libre Office

2014-12-31 Thread April Brown
Hello,

 I am finally making progress learning VoiceOver.  I primarily do my 
writing in Libre Office because I can save my files in all necessary formats 
(.doc, .rtf, pdf, and more).  I am still having difficulty figuring out the 
basics of reading, writing, and editing in Libre Office.  Does anyone else use 
this program?  Why does it only read a word, or a few words, at a time 
regardless of rotor setting?  Why does it always jump back to the top of the 
document when using the find function, rather than going to the word typed in 
the find box?

 I am still woking on publishing, and relying more and more on VoiceOver, 
and less and less on my partial eye.
