Jean,
Just a note on using Open Office on Windows machines. I am using Open Office
3.3 on Windows 7 64 bit in our lab. Using the latest version of NVDA and
Java Access Bridge I find that Open Office is now accessible via the free
NVDA screen reader. Getting it to work takes a bit of setup. A current
download of Open Office 3.3 will install the 32 bit Java Runtime
Environment. A current download of the Java Development Kit will install the
64 bit Java Runtime Environment. One must copy a number of files to various
directories from the Java Access Bridge download. In Open Office under
tools/options/accessibility one must check the checkbox for support
assistive technology tools.

Interesting that Duxbury now works with Open Office. However, Open Office is
not accessible to blind users on the Windows platform. There are many blind
people using Macs, and to my knowledge, there is very poor support for
braille anything in the Mac world. I'm referring here to braille
translation, not braille displays. I am aware that a person can run a
Windows environment on a Mac, and there are people who run Windows on a Mac
so they can run DBT.
But being as I am considering moving to the Apple world, are there any
concrete plans to make an Apple-compatible version of DBT? I think that
would serve a lot more people than Open Office support.
