Re: [orca-list] Orca and Open Office

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
Sounds like you fell into the usual trap, openoffice on Linux doesn't 
need the java access bridge (even though the java access bridge would be 
nice for you to include in vinux), openoffice can use the GTK/gnome 
interface stuff. Try the debian package openoffice.org-gnome or if you 
want to try and keep things trimmed to the absolute minimum then the 
package openoffice.org-gtk will make open office accessible (NOTE: 
openoffice.org-gnome depends on openoffice.org-gtk).
