No problem at all. I don't see why one should be offended be a simple 
and common misunderstanding, but for sure I'm not offended.

Thanks, Andrea.  You surely know how dull-witted we Americans are, so...

Again, I want to applaud the work you guys & gals do to keep AOO humming.
It's a great product (although not a "product" in the usual sense).  Brian
Barker is a "standout", as are Dennis and many others.  My Thanks!

I've done lots of volunteer work over the years -- Rotary International
(Youth Exchange chair for a 7-county area in upstate New York), long-time
president and treasurer of a Rotary Club, officer and councilor for Mended
hearts (a heart patient support group), Meals on Wheels, a local Historical
Society, local Neighborhood Watch leader, and others.

*More* people should volunteer.  True -- Mended Hearts is a bit different
from AOO but both are better off thanks to our efforts & yours, eh?

Are you blind?.
What is the percentage of Office users who are blind?
Can't blind people continue to use old C++ versions of AOO and the rest of
the world move on to newer versions?

There is also a little detail about your statement: it isn't true.

Java8u40 provides JavaFX accesibilty API (JEP 204)

Wow, anti-Java folk are really scrapping the bottom of the FUD barrel...

Well mr troll, it depends on whom you ask. Oracle planned to move OO.o to
JavaFX

http://www.devx.com/blog/2009/06/ellison-hints-at-oracles-java.html

Two day later Gavin Clarke at the usual suspects was already twisting and
FUD'ging that announcement into somehow bad news
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/04/ellison_javafx_commitment/

If ORCL had succeeded w that move, today we'd have OpenOffice on Android
devices, for instance.
http://www.itworld.com/article/2761460/enterprise-software/what-we-know-about-oracle-cloud-office--openoffice-org.html

And it isn't the first time Gavin Clarke or ElReg engaged in ugly FUD. Most
of his statements on the above article about JavaFX not being open were
BS. JavaFX 2.0 is today under a GPL license as part of OpenJFX.

but the OO.o freedom fighters *sarcasm* wanted to pull the rug from under
ORCL's feet.

http://pages.citebite.com/e7v0f3m9sder

And they succeeded, with the killing of StarOffice -a successful product
which had made inroads in many corporations- as a byproduct of that move.

And it started years before the Oracle acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the
move started when the project was under Sun control.

Why do we continue to let trolls pull our leg?

The continuous whining from LO trolls who just want the OO brand name so
they can get the site traffic and downloads that AOO has on Windows is
getting tiresome, if you ask me. Dear LO trolls: Go away.

It doesn't matter what the percentage is, what matters, is that
organizations have to provide accessible software. If AOo doesn't work
with accessibility software and hardware tools, then the easiest option
is to go to Microsoft, and get something that is both familiar, and
works with known accessibility software and hardware tools.

> Can't blind people continue to use old C++ versions of AOO and the rest of

Please explain why those with a11y needs should tolerate using software
that has known zero day exploits, that are in the wild?

I take it you have never had the pleasure of using Apache OpenOffice
with either _Window Eyes_ or _JAWS_ and a Braille Display Monitor.

Hint: it doesn't work.

Freedom Scientific claims the problem is with AOo, not them.

2 Quick Questions

[Kevin McKeel]

I create very large documents.  Can I link words and paragraphs in the same
large document to work like a hyperlink does and jump up or down the pages
to the destination that was marked to click elsewhere in the document?


Why do words that you've ignored in a spellcheck continue to show up with
the red squiggly underline even after you saved the file?  You take the
time and address all the tagged words but it is just temporary.

Please advise.  Thank you.
