Custom template problem

2014-11-13 Thread Ron Clough
I am using OO 4.1.1 with Windows 8.1 .
I displayed the help item 'creating document templates' and followed the
instructions to create the required template (with some difficulty!).

Below these instructions it states: To create a document based on the
template choose File - New - Templates and Documents, select the template
and click Open. However, selecting 'Templates and Documents' takes me back
to the screen for creating a template. 'Commands', 'Organise' or any other
button does not allow me to find the template (and click Open).

Will appreciate guidance.  Thanks.

Screen Reader Accessibility

2014-11-13 Thread John W. Smith
I'm new to the list, having installed Open Office last evening. I was 
told Open Office would be accessible to Window-Eyes, the screen reader I 
use. That doesn't seem to be the case for me so far. Is there a set of 
steps I need to take to activate accessibility? If so, please elaborate.

Instructions for this are at the Window-Eyes web site:
http://www.gwmicro.com/Support/Knowledge_Base/?kbnumber=GWKB2017 .

It says that you may need to reinstall the Java Access Bridge and 
that you will also need to enable support for assistive technology 
tools in OpenOffice itself. For this second task, you will 
unfortunately require sighted assistance.


I trust this helps.

Re: Screen Reader Accessibility

2014-11-13 Thread John W. Smith
Thanks. I've followed the steps in the knowledge base article, including 
restarting my computer after each set of instructions. I can't tell any 
difference. I have a little vision and can mouse over icons, which is 
how I have to select Writer. But I get little useful information when 
I'm in Writer. When I type text, Window-Eyes does not read it back. Does 
the version I'm using make a difference? I'm using the latest, which I 
think is 4.1.1.

Presentation - insert audio link issue - OS X Yosemi

2014-11-13 Thread Julian Thomas
If I create a presentation, and then in the body of a slide click - insert - 
video or sound - sound - and select an mp3 file, it tells me [on my Macbok] 
that the audio format is unsupported.  A wav file works OK.

On my other machine [also OS X Yosemi] there's no issue. 

is this an OO problem or an OS X setup issue?

Re: Screen Reader Accessibility

2014-11-13 Thread V Stuart Foote
John,

Sorry to say, you've received bad information.

Windows-Eyes is not natively interoperable with IAccessible2 based
applications. GWMicro can build custom interfaces, and as of the 8.4 that
does not include supoort for Apache OpenOffice or LibreOffice. 

As both projects have removed the Java Access Bridge kludge needed to use a
Java JRE Accessibility Interface--they do not work with Windows-Eyes.

Windows-Eyes does fine with MS UIA applications like Office 2010 or
2013--and offers heavy discounts for users with those office suites
installed.

JAWS, does a bit better with IAccessibile2 AOO or LibreOffice

But, if you are going to use either OpenSource Office product, the NVDA open
source project is miles ahead in their support of IAccessible2 (with
continued support for Java and MS UIA based Assistive Technology as well).

Stuart

What does "Does not work" mean? Are you getting an error message or does 
nothing happen?

What operating system are you using?

Re: Screen Reader Accessibility

2014-11-13 Thread John W. Smith
Thanks, guys. Very interesting. I have NVDA, but I'm not crazy about 
using it much. I can hardly keep track of Window-Eyes commands, let 
alone learning those of another screen reader. Does System Access work 
with Open Office.


The whole problem started when I accidentally deleted Office Starter 
2010 from my Windows 7 computer recently. I don't have the bucks to 
upgrade to the full version of Microsoft Office. Window-Eyes didn't work 
with the starter package either because it doesn't have the add ins to 
make it work. I've been using Jarte for a word processor, which 
Window-Eyes will work with. But I'm not the only user on this machine. 
Thus, the need for another office suite.


John

Please only use http://www.openoffice.org/download to get the new
versions of Apache OpenOffice. The site will send you to sourceforge
** that is ok **.

If Norton still shoot the warning, please ignore it and continue on.

Open Office Spreadsheet issue

2014-11-13 Thread Darrell Schmitz

Hi...I didn't see this in the FAQ's so here it goes.

Everytime I open the spreadsheet everything is super duper small.
It says Arial 10 but it's not.
It is micro small.
It takes me forever to open it up where it can even be used.

I have deleted and re-install 4.1.1 OpOff.

What did I do wrong?

Darrell

Use the little slider bottom right on OpenOffice window. Pull it to the right, 
Or click in the % box at bottom right hand corner and choose a different 
scaling factor,
