[orca-list] Orca and underline in openoffice

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I am trying to get orca to inform me about underline text in openoffice 
writer, but I am not having great success in what I want to achieve.

I went to orca preferences and went to text attributes. I check the 
boxes in the table for speech and braille for underline and go to OK. 
Now when I open a document with underlined text I find that orca doesn't 
announce the underline when reading the line (and the braille indication 
isn't there although I set that to dot-8). Now if I cursor to the 
character which should be underlined and press orca+f I do hear that it 
is underlined.

My problem with the above behavior is that I must be aware that 
underline might be used, hence why I want orca to announce it while 
reading. I am slightly confused why Braille isn't showing this, if I 
mispell a word in this email I get dot8 under each character of the word.

Any help would be useful.
