Hello Christophe and all.

There are  several kind of accessibility issues all around the suite. In example, it is not 
possible to read a document from the beginning to the end using the appropriate Voice Over command: 
the TTS stops reading after a paragraph. There is no way to know for sure if a page is  complete 
and a new one is beginning. Only basic text attributes are reported by the screen reader: in 
example, I can find out  if a text is bolded  or underlined, but i have no way to figure out if it 
is superscripted or not. If an image is present, Voice Over doesn't report it. I can create a 
table, but I cannot explore it  or even know that a table is present. 

Format/character or format/paragraph are dialogs witch a  VO user can understand with no little 
difficulties.  From a... blind point of view, :-) the options are grouped by category. There are 
several buttons to select the options category you want to change or review. Ok, with Voice Over I 
can access them, but the options and their parameters...  that is a completely different story!  I 
cannot use standard VO movement commands, I have to use the tab key instead. But, if I do so,  
Voice Over do not announce the controls' labels. And, even if I can change values in edit boxes and 
check and uncheck  check boxes, there are other controls I cannot access with the keyboard, in 
particular pop up buttons. Some dialogs are a little bit confusing: when I explore them using VO 
standard movement commands, the controls are reported in a  meaningless order: in example, Ok and 
Cancel buttons should be the last two controls within a dialogs; in some cases, they are not. 

All that I am talking about is referred to Writer. Of course, there are a similar list of  issues 
for Calc and, if you want, we can discuss it.

Last but not list,  I apologize for my  horrible english. I do my best... and hope you'll 
understand.

My bests.
