What is iWork?
It's odd that OO tables do not work with VO as they do with orca and
JAWS which get their data from the same accessibility API. VO has a
convertor that takes gnome accessibility information and converts it
to the Macintosh which should make fixing this problem
relatively straight forward. I have only minimal experience hacking
Macintosh but might take a look at the source for tables on Windows
and/or GNU/Linux and poke around the convertor for Leopard and see
if it isn't too hard to deal with on my own.
I need to be cautious that I don't cause too much RSI pain on
"hobby" hacking projects like this one as I need to be healthy for
my other, full time projects. Reading code, however, shouldn't be
too abusive on this crunchy old body and I have lots of hacker
friends who I can ask to help if I can narrow the problem set down
to a fairly limited number of changes.
Happy Hacking,

Hi Chris
OO does not have accessibility for tables as of yet. The only
application in which we can currently access tables is iWork 09.
Hopefully the OO team will get this fixed, though as of the latest
RC builds there has been no change in Voiceover access with it.
Your document is most likely larger due to default fonts. Windows
and Mac do not always have the same fonts installed, and when you
don't have a particular font OO will revert to the default. One
nice thing iWork will do, when this happens, is notify you of the
missing fonts, but as far as I know OO doesn't do this.

Hi,
I received a relatively important document about the Raising the
Floor Initiative, my new full time home, which was announced to
the general public at ATIA yesterday, that contained a number of
tables and had been made in Word. When I get to a table using OO,
things start to go strange. I cannot seem to interact with the
table in a predictable manner and could not read it without moving
it onto a PC and using MS Office. Is there any documentation on
OO with VO and tables?
Also, OO made the document a bit larger, moving a one page
position paper type document into two pages which I'll assume had
something to do with formatting defaults.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that
cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be
impossible to get at or repair.
