Hi all,

As many of you may know, Open Office is a free open source package
that is similar to MS Office.
At the end of April, Apache Open Office 4.1 was released. This
included a major accessibility enhancement - it now uses iAccessible2
rather than relying on Java Access Bridge.

I have begun looking at  Open Office 4.1 with NVDA. First impressions are good.

Has anyone else on this list had any experience with Open Office 4.1 ?

Best Regards,
Ronan
