Re: [libreoffice-users] OSX text-to-speech 'selection' not working in libreoffice

Hi Jacques,

I don't use OSX, nor accessibility tools, so can't help with your 
specific problem. However, there might some useful information at 
<http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/accessibility/> (a web page on 
accessibility in LibreOffice).

There's also a separate LibreOffice mailing list focussed on 
accessibility issues, so it might be worth posting your query there as well:
- Subscribe by sending an email to 
<accessibility+subscribe@global.libreoffice.org> (you'll probably need 
to respond to a confirmation email, similar subscribing to this list)
- Post by sending an email to <accessibility@global.libreoffice.org>
- Other options for reading and posting to that list are listed at 
<http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/#accessibility>

It might also be worth trying an updated version of LibreOffice if 
you're not already using the latest.

Mark.
