Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Laws and standards

hi, Joanie,


Open office works fine for me as long as I am not in Impress.  It
works better, by an order of magnitude, with Orca than it does with
Jaws or even NVDA.  It was Eclipse that kept crashing on me but, as
you said, that is for another list.  Eclipse is in SWT, you see.  I
was under the impression that Open Office and now, Libre Office use
the swing classes for the portions of the application that are written
in Java.


Thanks.
