RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Libo 4.0.5 and Accessibility/Follow-up

Stuart,
I understand these instructions, but I'm sure you'll agree that this level of preparation may be 
way beyond the capabilities of many computer novices.  I'm a professional computer class 
instructor, and it would be unreasonable for me to expect many of my students to perform these 
tasks.  I guess I'm wondering if the Libreoffice installer could automate some of these functions 
during the installation process.  To an extent, the program already does this with the checkbox 
allowing for a.t. support to be enabled.  This was a nice change, which I really appreciate.  I'd 
like to see the developers take this a few steps further by implementing the changes you outlined 
in your message during the installation process, to make it easier for new users.  However, I'll be 
sure to save this message for the future.  Thank you for these instructions.

David,

You have to make sure that the JRE, with its JAB activated,  has been enabled in LibreOffice.

First,  enable the JAB.  Open a command window "run as administrator" and
execute:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\jabswitch.exe" -enable

Second,  enable JRE support within a LibreOffice session:

ALT-T
ALT-O
A (for appearance)
A (for Accessibility)
A (for Advanced)
TAB into Java Options -- Checkbox "Use a Java runtime environment" -- space to toggle ON/OFF  be 
sure it is checked TAB into Java runtime environments (JRE) already installed -- Radio button 
"Oracle corporation 1.7.0_25  with accessibility support"
TAB out of the Panel to reach the OK button.

Then merge LibreOfficeAccessibilitySupport.reg
<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4072067/LibreOfficeAccessibilitySupport.reg>
the attached/uploaded Windows Registry file that has this text:

===start===
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LibreOffice\Accessibility\AtToolSupport]
"SupportAssistiveTechnology"="true"
===end===
