Re: [orca-list] Abiword and Gnumeric Accessibility.

Yes, the edit area/spreadsheet don't read with Orca. It would be great
to have this be an option for us, as OpenOffice is quite a bit of
space on the CD and in general. The more options we have the better.
After all, isn't that what Linux is all about anyway?
