Hi Jarek,

With NVDA running, move to the LibreOffice frame and enter <F10> and 
then <Ctrl>+<F6> that will position focus onto the document.  While 
<F10> followed by <F6> will advance through the toolbars and sidebar 
until reaching the document canvas.

In Calc, use the arrow keys to move between cells--any of which in NVDA 
will first sound its content and then its Cell position. If empty it 
will just sound the position by alpha column and numeric row.

But if on launch of LibreOffice and <F10> key press you are hearing  
"system SubMenu Space" you've placed LibreOffice into its Notebookbar 
Tabbed UI mode.

Assistive tools are not well implemented in that mode, and with <F10> 
you end up out side the app frame.

For effective screen reading you really need to work from the "Standard" 
User Interface of menus, toolbars, context menus, and the sidebar decks 
controlling the document.

There the <F10>, <F6> and other keyboard movement focus events on 
butons, menu etries, and text areas are better implemented to sound with 
screen readers.

Hope that helps.
