Open Office is not accessible with NVDA, nor ZoomText for that matter.
 Thanks for suggesting Symphony.  I had not heard of it, but will
check it out.

Albert, are you using NVDA in the classroom now?  You probably know
this, but you can get free copies of MS Office for classroom use.  I'd
prefer to see Open Office or some other free and/or open source office
solution, but haven't found one yet.

Also, are you teaching Twitter or any other social media channels?
I'd be interested in discussing further if you're interested.
