Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] How to return accessible LibreOffice ? (Beginner)

Hi :)
The "tagged Pdf" route is probably the best answer!

For editable documents, and further to Christophe's answer, the 4.0.6
is a very good and very stable version of LibreOffice.  4.0.3, 4.0.4,
4.0.5 are also excellent and very stable but the higher that 3rd digit
the better for stability.

So the 4.1.4 is great too (for the same reasoning, ie that the 3rd
digit is quite high) but if those Extensions do not work well with it
then it might be worth stepping back to 4.0.6.

It is possible to install more than 1 version of LIbreOffice on a
machine but that might over complicate the issue so maybe best for
just a handful or even just a few machine rather than all of them!
