Re: Orca and Open Office

[Hermann <steppenwolf2 onlinehome de>]

Hello Tomas,
I tried reading Ofice documents with Festival and Espeak, with no 
difference. The same sluggishness, and tables in ODT-documents wher read by 
cell, no matter what I've switched with insert+f11.
I can't read the documents stored in the examples folder in my home 
directory, a folder that was installed by Ubuntu to show some examles of 
various document types.
However: As I've suspected, the "read row" and "read cell" command works 
fine in the spread-sheet program, for which, it seems, it has been 
designed; it works with Festival and Espeak alike.
btw.: I heard that to increase the accessibility of Open Office under 
Windows one has to install the Java runtime environment. Is this necessary 
for Linux as well?
Regards
Hermann
