Hi all, I cannot seem to get NVDA to announce the alignment of text in libre office writer, such as left or centered. I will have alignment checked under the document formatting section of preferences but still nothing. NVDA key plus F will read other attributes like font type or size but still not alignment. When I go to other applications with text, like websites for example, NVDA will then read alignment information. What am I missing here? Thank you so much for any help.

hi.
both openoffice and libreoffice dont support reporting alignment for
nvda screen reader.
i am not sure about jaws and libreoffice compatibility with jaws, but
i am sure that you cant read alignment information when using
libreoffice or openoffice.

Hi thank you, I did not realize that. Well, at least I wasn't missing something obvious.

Hello, To read the alignment in Libre office Writer, Press alt then right arrow to the format menu, Arrow down to “ alignment” and right arrow to the sub menu. Now up and down arrow, some will say “selected” but the one that says “checked” will be the current alignment. Best Regards, Jim.

Bit clunky though. I imagine thatches program is not exposing the correct data for nvda to read.

While I don't have any better advice than everyone else for the specific issue, I would encourage those using LibreOffice to also report issues against that project as well. A lot of things like this, where the information isn't being exposed to us, we can't do anything about - it needs to be a change to LibreOffice to expose that, before we can look for it.

Hi,
I used LibreOffice for years, but when I started to use it with
NVDA, a series of incompatibilities and problems (including ugly
crashes) annoyed me in such a way that I abandoned it in favor of
Microsoft Office.
It's obvious now that the developers of LibreOffice are not
interested or prepared to deal with screen reader
incompatibilities.
It's a shame because the usability of LibreOffice is much better
than MS Office, at least for me. All was done faster in
LibreOffice.

All I can really say to that, is to reiterate what I said earlier - keep reporting bugs! To us, so we are aware of them (and if we can fix them independently, great!) and particularly to Libre Office, because the more people who report accessibility issues, the more likely they will prioritise working on it (and even hopefully work with us).
Libre Office use a web-based issue tracker, like we do, however they use Bugzilla rather than GitHub, so you'll need to create a free account with them to report issues. Here is the link: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/
