Seem to recall a message on one of the uk access tech liss a few months ago saying that latter versions of open office do work to some degree with screenreaders provided that you tick the accessibility options checkbox somewhere within the options settings but that for obvous reasons you will need assistance access this control in order to enable it. Meant to try it for myself but didn't get around to it at the time - let us know how you get on if you try it.
