Suggesting that you use a more up to date version of a program is a perfectly reasonable response. Open office became librioffice, and last time I checked, open office hadn't been updated for some time. Since libri office is an updated version of open office, I find nothing wrong with the suggestion to try it in place of your copy of open office.

yes, both openoffice and libreoffice work with all versions of nvda which i tested since 2014 versions of nvda. i used libreoffice, but i decided to migrate to openoffice. libreoffice has many features in compare to openoffice, but openoffice is very much simpler, easy to use and learn, even we can select which feature we want to install! but unfortunately its removed from libreoffice. openoffice exe file at least 80 mb less than libreoffice.msi file, because libreoffice is translated to more than 110 languages and it has all languages and more than 40 dictionaries in its installer file, but in openoffice you can select your desire language and for additional languages, you should download and install languagePack separately. libreoffice is i think currently stable, but openoffice is more stable, because there is no extreme changes in any version that they release! hope that help and God bless you all.

I think the point here is that both these projects are in fact based on the same code base and whereas Open office seems to have no current active development or fixes being worked on, the other does, so you are more likely to get issues resolved as the nvda devs are not going to try to find work arounds for a dead development string, but will work on Libra as the developers can be contacted as many issues need to be fixed in the code of the software, not the screenreader. I hope this is clearer for you.

No secret I prefer the pace of LibreOffice development, but Apache OpenOffice is not dead, just glacial.
Developers and QA participants have drifted away but still a solid offering. In fact Apache OpenOffice project is wrapping up builds of the 4.1.4 branch with Release Candidate 2 (rc2) just posted: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.4-RC2/binaries/ The 4.1.3 build was released October 12, 2016 and is available here: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html Stuart

openoffice is more simple, has less features, but libreoffice supports for example: many formats like many apple formats, microsoft visio and publisher which openoffice does not. both programs have there advantages. i am not completely sure about my decision. the best feature of openoffice which i like: are ability to select which component that we want, less size and the most important one is its help. i realy wished that libreoffice had the help of openoffice internally which explanes all the options and menus of the program!

They both are iaccessible2 based implementations and depend on NVDAs iaccessible2 module just as the Mozilla components do. An Extension to enhance things for NVDA users would be nice of course.
As to LibreOffices "off-line" a.k.a. "built-in" help, it must be downloaded separately to the program installer and then installed. Absent the "off-line" help installation, the help dialogs will open in a Web browser, also the content of the "off-line" help becomes the content of the "Extended tips" that will sound with NVDA and other assistive technology tools. Once installed, for exposure to Assistive Technology tools, users need to enable "extended tips" from the Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General configuration tab. It is a checkbox.

Well you can download a help package from the libre office website and install it which I have done.

thanks so much for your advice. i remember that one time i downloaded offline help file for libreoffice and installed it. i always check extended tips, but unfortunately this help file only explanes options, not entire menus! whats the solution? even microsoft does not have such a help that explanes all menus and options, microsoft's help, only explanes only options, not entire menus. whats the reason that openoffice only has my desire feature? moreover, i wish that libreoffice had help in its installation file, freedom of choice to select which component to install, and not complexity of its current versions. its became very complex since version 5.1.6. my another big concern are for openGL and openCL. i wished that these features were optional in libreoffice. i realy dont know what should i do with bug 108582 which i reported. i realy cant read and understand libreoffice dialogs and messages with this bug. i wonder that whats the reason calc is not accessible anymore? adding new features maybe helpful for some users, but not with inaccessibility for blind users. openoffice yet has not this problems. i am in doubt for selecting between openoffice and libreoffice even after more than three years!
