Re: [orca-list] accessible spreadsheet program

["John G. Heim" <jheim math wisc edu>]

Right, and just to be clear, you have to install the libreoffice-gnome 
package, not just libreoffice. First I did "apt-get install libreoffice" 
based on some of the other responses.  And I got libreoffice calc on my 
office menu. But it was not accessible. They I tried "apt-get install 
libreoffice-gnome" and then I was able to read the spreadsheet.

Unrealted to orca but one thing lame about libreoffice calc is that the 
default field seperator for a csv import is a semicolon. Csv sands for 
comma seperated values. The default should be comma. The first import I 
did got messed up because of this. But I figured it out.
