Hi Barry and Cearbhall,
Barry, F5 works well as you describe.
If you hit F5 then edit the column destination, then tab and edit the
row destination and press enter. This jumps you to the correct
destination.
One thing to watch for is that the current row and column are already
populated and you need to delete/overwrite them when entering the new
location.
Control shift F5 works for selecting ranges. Simply type the range
into the name box for example A3:B20 and press enter. NVDA doesn't
verbally confirm that these are selected but if you hit control c and
then move to a destination area and hit control v it seems to copy
and paste correctly. For some reason, Calc gives a warning that the
destination area is already populated, even when it isn't, before
letting you paste, but it does it correctly nonetheless.
All, in all, so far, I think Open Office 4.1 is looking very
encouraging from an accessibility point of view.
I think these issues I am experiencing relate more to learning and
familiarity rather than to accessibility...
