[orca-list] suggestions for openoffice/orca improvements

[Guy Schlosser <guyster bex net>]

Hello fellow listers, I just wanted to throw a few suggestions out 
here for improvements to orca with relation to openoffice.  There may 
be work-arounds out there, but I've been googling for a few days now, 
since I've been working on a document for work, and haven't found any 
yet.  My first suggestion is for a way to tell what line/column 
position you are at on a page.  This would be very useful for 
determining where page breaks are appearing in a document.  Secondly, 
a way to tell exactly what is not in dictionary when spell-checking 
would be awesome.  I've gotten around this contextually so far, by 
arrowing through the suggestion list, and deducing what is 
misspelled.  Lastly, is there a way to easily insert a symbol, such 
as degrees in a document?  If anyone else has found any existing 
work-arounds to these three problems, I would definitely appreciate 
the suggestions.

Thanks much in advance,


Guy
