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

How long will Java be needed for Libreoffice accessibility in Windows
anyway?  Isn't the iaccessibility2 code being merged in at some point?

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/LibreOfficeAccessibility
Support.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===
