           What version of Open Office?

My about dialog states AOO412M3 october 2015.  I just downloaded it a couple of days ago so it should be up to date.

If the form in question is downloadable, or you have a blank version, you can feel free to e-mail it to me and I'll see what I can do to activate a checkbox using NVDA 2016.1.

Here is a link to the form.

            If you're a mouse user typically a left mouse click on a checkbox acts as a toggle.  You might want to get focus on the checkbox object and hit Num Pad Divide (desktop keyboard layout) or NVDA+[ (laptop keyboard layout) to see if it has the same effect.  

This is another issue. My virtual machine is showing severe neglect.  I am in the process of fixing it as we speak, but in the current configuration I have no nvda key.  Most upsetting.  I wanted to try the suggestions of NVDA plus left bracket and nvda plus enter but I'm on a bit of a time constraint and it may take a long while to get my keyboard back in shape.

Thanks for looking.
