Hello Chris, Smacks forehead on desk. I am an idiot. I was trying to get OpenOffice and LibreOffice from a installation back when I got my Mac last March… I fail. I spent almost all day doing research allay and never though I’d update the apps! sees.
So that’s what I did, I updated both OpenOffice and Libre, and OpenOffice is still having Voiceover problems, but it loos like Libre is now user friendly. Now, it is maybe my Mac needs a reboot, but both apps quit unexpedatly when I close them. So I don’t know that is a problem or not. Now I’m am trying to install a Libre extension called odt2 that is supposed to translate to braille. I know my braille instructor does that on a Windows machine.
