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.

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:

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.
