Hi: It is a relief that I am not the only one who has concerns about accessibility. Jennifer, thank you for jumping on board with this, as I have been swamped with my own work and all.
I tried downloading Symphony, and it was a disaster. I never got the program to work, and it ended up causing registry problems. I could not even delete the program in the regular fashion by going through the control panel. I had to manually delete it and take it out of the registry. I have decided not to revisit Symphony and wait for the new release of Open Office. Since this test version is now available, I wish to test it out on my own machine. I am running Windows 8. Please let me know if it will work on this machine or if I will have to use another machine with an older operating system. I will run this release through a rigorous testing protocol and will be able to let you know if it is an assistive technology issue or a program issue, and I will provide you with a fix to bridge the gap. I am so glad we can all work together on this. Warm regards, Reina Grosvalet On 4/2/13, Jean-Philippe MENGUAL <mengualjean...@free.fr> wrote: > Hf, > > I did my 1st test today.
