I'm not bothered about how old IBM Lotus Symphony is. It works for me.
It aint broke so I don't try to fix it.
I like being productive instead of spending time fighting with or
learning new interfaces or features.
Microsoft office products seem to have the same disease as Tesco. As
soon as I learn where everything is, they move it.
I tried both Open Office and Libra Office and the accessibility failed
miserably. Admittedly it was a while ago so it may have improved.
I use NVDA and would rather use a zero cost solution than pay a couple
of hundred quid for another tool and have to spend a thousand on a
commercial screen-reader to use it.

this software is very old now and out of date and it has been
discontinued. the new open office stuff will replace it and it will be
good but at this time I wouldn't use it on a main machine.

Hello Mo,
Just to further complicate your options, have you thought about IBM
Lotus Symphony? I use it on Win 7 and I find it totally accessible.

Hello Everyone.
I wanted to switch to a free office suite, and the 2 that came to mind
were either openoffice or libreoffice. Both are supposed to be
accessible if using the java access bridge. i was just wondering if
people had any experience in using them? and which one i should
download?
many thanks in advance,
Mo.
