From poking around it would appear that NeoOffice uses Java swing for the user interface and I suspect the Java swing to apple accessibility API connections are either not wired up or non-existant. I just downloaded NeoOffice and isntalled patch 7 and it was still inaccessible. It defaulted to

Hello, I wonder, why is neooffice not accessible? I thought it was a fork of openoffice and even a fork made more for the mac then openoffice. Should it not then be more accesible? Greetings, Anouk, --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are su
