Re: [orca-list] openoffice word processor and Orca

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Guy:

Orca currently doesn't automatically speak this information when you 
press tab, but there are a couple other options you can use:

1) Insert+f (Caps_Lock+f for laptops) will speak attribute information, 
including the indent for the current line.  You can select which 
information is presented via the "Text Attributes" tab of the Orca 
preferences/configuration dialog.

2) If you select "Speak indentation and justification" on the speech tab 
of the Orca preferences/configuration dialog, Orca will speak the number 
of tabs and spaces at the beginning of a line when you move to a new line.

I'm curious about the automatic speaking of cursor position when you 
press the tab key, though.  What do other users think?
