[orca-list] A question about Libreoffice, schoolbooks in .doc, and navigating

[Cisco Tissera <audiogamer2004 gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

I am using Fedora 34 with Orca master, latest commit and libreoffice 7.1.4.

A little while ago, my school books came, in .doc format, as I requested them to work on them on Windows.

A thought occurred to me, and that was  to try on Linux, but I soon found out I couldn't navigate in them via headings or links, even though both those things were in there.

On windows with MS Word and NVDA, the screen reader lets me navigate between those and click links as well, because it lets me switch between the modes with nvda plus space, while orca on Linux doesn't.

Is there a way to make Orca do such a thing as of now, or could it be implemented?

A sort of focus mode and browse mode for libreoffice in orca would be pretty cool.

Thanks for any answer.

Best regards.

Francisco.
