Re: [orca-list] Accessibility improvements in OO 3.0?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I used OO 3.0 while it was in experimental on GRML/debian (as it is 
actually from the debian repository even if you are using GRML). I chose 
to do this because OO 3.0 added support for the word 2007 files and I 
was being given some to use (even though I generally don't like word 
format documents, but why is off topic).

As for installing only part of openoffice, the openoffice.org package is 
a meta package for all main components, run the command:
aptitude show openoffice.org
for more details about the package. I would assume that only particular 
components could be installed if you specified which components you 
wanted rather than this meta package. One thing I don't know about 
because I haven't looked, is whether the package openoffice.org-gnome or 
openoffice.org-gtk which are needed for accessibility would allow 
partial installation of openoffice. Use aptitude to show details about 
what package depends on what, this should be able to provide the answer.
