[nfbcs] OpenOffice Accessibility

[Ryan Mann]

I just tried Lotus Symphony and it doesn't seem to be accessible.  I  
tried it on both Windows with System Access and on Mac OS 10 with  
Voiceover.  When I opened a new document from the file menu, neither  
screen reader would read whenever I typed in the document.  I went no  
further since my thinking is that if a screen reader won't read what I  
type in a document, the office suite is not accessible.
