Re: [orca-list] Orca and underline in openoffice

[Paul Hunt <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hey all,

Confirm braille is working as you would expect.

I'm glad this proof reading thing has been cleared up. I actually 
thought Orca was supposed to announce style changes as you navigate 
through text (provided you'd specified those style changes you were 
interested in in the preferences dialogue).

I guess it's the classic case of someone thinking Orca would behave like 
er, that other screen reader <smile>

A proof reading mode, where Orca would automatically announce changes in 
the style of the text it is reading, gets my vote.

Perhaps a keystroke toggle for turning it on/off for maximum convenience.

Another idea might be a keystroke to move to next/prior change in style. 
That could be useful for checking where your style changes are I think.

Paul
