[gui-talk] Libre Office and JAWS

[Jude DaShiell]

Hi, let's see if my memory works.  When you go into writer, the first 
thing to hit is the slash key.  This brings up a registration dialog 
you'll need to fill out in order to get access to the software.  It was 
necessary for me to do this on an earlier version of office could have 
been libreoffice so that may work for you as well.  The dialog when it 
comes up is accessible too.
