Hi Russell,
If you want to save the formatting, even though it is a bare to
use, you mite want to use the wordprocesser in OO, IMHO.

Hi Keith,
I hope this is the case! Keith, if I open an MS Word document in
Text Edit, can I edit the document, and then save it and preserve
the original formatting, or is Text Edit not capable of dealing
with some of Words formatting?
Thanks,
Russell

Hi all,
I just downloaded and installed Open Office. I have some good
news, and not so good news.
First, the good news... it looks like the spreadsheet
application is quite accessible. VO reads the cell coordinates
as well as the contents of a cell that you move into. I tried
Numbers, in the i"Works suite, and was very disappointed to find
that the only way to get the contents of a cell announced is to
interact with it, and I don't think the coordinates are read at
all! So I was quite excited to see that the Open Office,
spreadsheet, at least at first blush, seems to be accessible.
Now, for the not so good news. I tried opening one of my
database files created in MS Access, and it wasn't accessible at
all. I just got a lot of numbers, interspersed with the words,
"jet database" or something to that effect.
I also opened a word document created in MS Word 2007, and for
some reason, each time I press the down arrow to read the next
line, VO will read the line, and then say things like, "edit
text, insertion at beginningof line". This makes it difficult
to read a document. Also, VO A doesn't read the document
continuously. There may be some settings that need to be
changed, and I will play more when time permits! <grin>
