Hello.
This is regarding Libreoffice 3.6.4 and its support for assistive technology.
I'm using a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit machine installing the latest version of Java from the Ninite 
installer; JAB is enabled via the control panel under Ease of Access.
My screen reader is NVDA 2012.3.
While installing this latest version I was careful to check the box for enabling support for 
assistive technology.
When I loaded Writer I received no feedback while navigating through menus.  I know the keystrokes 
for enabling a.t. support in the Options dialog and I did this and then restarted Writer: this time 
I received a little more feedback.  This means that it is likely that a.t. support was in fact 
disabled even though I checked the appropriate box during installation.
I have checked with a sighted person who verifies that a.t. support is enabled in the options 
dialog.
While menus spoke and I can receive text feedback while moving through a document dialog boxes are 
usually silent except for standard dialogs such as the Open dialog.
As an example when I press alt-f4 I am prompted on whether I want to save changes to my open 
document.  when I press the tab key I hear nothing where I should hear the names of the buttons as 
they gain focus.
I also notice that when Writer opens I rarely receive feedback in the first document.  when I open 
subsequent documents some audio feedback is presented.  Can anyone verify these findings?
