JAWS, Open Office 3, and Windows 7

This is a good test showing how JAWS (the text to talk software interface, works under Windows 7 and Open Office.

I decided to see how Open Office’s word processor would work in Windows 7, since I prefer Open Office over Microsoft Office. Windows 7 handles Open Office version 3 without any issues. However, JAWS will need some scripting in order to see the various buttons in dialog boxes. Menus work fine, though. I only demonstrate the one issue JAWS has which is navigating the spell checking & other dialog boxes.
