Re: [orca-list] still no solution on calc accessibility

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I used to have problems with Calc and losing speech after moving off
of cells particularly ones I just updated.  But that has gone from my
system recently.  I'm not at home right now so can't tell you what
exact version of Libreoffice I'm running but I'm quite certain that it
is something like 3.5.2.  Actually, I've been using Calc for basic
spreadsheet stuff lately with really snappy results.  I also used the
CapsLock+C to create a Row header on Column A and that has been
working perfectly lately.  Again, that is to get column A to speak
every time I move up or down a row.  Oh and espeak in US English does
say Row as "Ro" (correct pronunciation).
