Hi Dale, I can't say that I've used OpenOffice personally, but it definitely looks like a good deal of effort has been put toward accessibility in the user interface design of the product. I found a number of good references to further information at the URL http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Accessibility. There's a link there to a white paper on accessibility as well as information on a mailing list specifically dedicated to OpenOffice accessibility. Hope this helps, Jerry "Dale E.
