RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Using LibreOffice 4.2.5 with Screen Readers

Stuart,
Thanks for the information.  I guess I expected it to work as I thought that Iaccessible2 was 
enabled if use experimental features was checked.  Still, no worries.  I'll try the 4.3 RC.

David,

Seem like post install, you have neither enabled JAB based AT, nor
IAccessible2 support.

While we'd pushed for it, IAccessible2 as outright replacement for JAB did
not make the 4.2 release.   It did make it for the 4.3 branch release.

At this point, I would suggest you simply skip the 4.2.5 release and instead look at the pending 
4.3.0 release build where the Java Access Bridge AT support has been removed so that  on the 
Windows builds only IAccessible2 support is present.

Also, now for Windows--as already for OSX and Linux--LibreOffice AT is activated by default when an 
Assistive Technology is in use--no more fussing during install or with Tools -> Accessibility.

Here are direct links to LibreOffice RC1 of 4.3.0:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/LibreOffice_4.3.0.1_Win_x86.msi

and to the local en-US help files :

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/LibreOffice_4.3.0.1_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.msi

this is a full installer so will replace any existing builds of LibreOffice. 
Other than some lingering chattiness, and focus issues in the Calc -- should be useable.


Stuart
