I think the best route would be as follows:
Run the java uninstaller from this page:
http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp
Then download and install the latest Java 7 update 55 from this page:
http://www.java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en
Then download LibreOffice - it's like OpenOffice and completely
compatible, but much updated:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
Yes, you definitely still need Java:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Accessibility_in
That page says:
"Please note that accessibility support relies on Java technology for
communications with assistive technology tools. This means that the
first program startup may take a few seconds longer, because the Java
runtime environment has to be started as well."
Hope this helps!
