[Athen] question about open office and screen readers

[Wink Harner]

In response to Norm's question, I found this info which may be useful. 

 

Try Lotus Symphony instead which is a free offshoot of OpenOffice which
JAWS 

has had some work done to make it talk.  JAWS probably works a bit with 

OpenOfice however Symphony might be a better bet if you have the choice.

Has anyone tried Lotus Symphony with JAWS?

I seem to recall that some time ago Open Office did not work well with
screen readers. 
Does anyone know if this is still true or whether JAWS and maybe others
will now work with open office???
