Re: [orca-list] Using Orca when working on documents with tracked changes

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I was asking a similar question a few months ago.
At that time my biggest issue was that Accept / reject changes dialog 
was not verry well accessible when using libre office writer.
Now I've tested the feature again with Libreoffice writer 2.4.6 and I 
think it is working as intended.
For the official help see these two articles
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Recording_Changes
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Navigating_Changes

I think the use case suitable for an orca user would be something like:
1) Go to menu -> Edit -> Changes -> Accept / reject changes...
2) In this dialog there is a list of all recorded changes. Once this 
list is focused you can move up and down using the arrow keys. If you 
got a change you can then move left or right to explore when and who has 
recorded that change. Buttons such as Accept, Reject, Accept all, Reject 
all are self explanatory.
3) Another way on how to deal with changes is by using document context 
menu. If you like you can go to the top of a document, press the 
applications key or shift+F10 to bring up the document context menu. In 
there there are context sensitive items such as Previous change or Next 
change. When the text cursor points to a text of a change there are more 
items in that menu such as Accept or Reject. When this feature is 
combined with document navigation commands or document searching I think 
it is now quite possible to use this feature successfully even with orca.

Greetings

Peter
