Accessibility in OpenOffice.org
The following accessibility features are part of OpenOffice.org:
-
Support of external devices and applications
-
Access to all functions by keyboard. The keys that replace the mouse actions are listed in the OpenOffice.org Help
-
Improved readability of screen contents
-
Zooming of on-screen user interface for menus, icons, and documents
The user interface is scalable through your operating system settings. The default font size for dialogs is 12pt, corresponding to a scale of 100%. You can also change the font size for dialogs in Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - View. The zoom factor of a document can be changed in View - Zoom, or by double-clicking the zoom factor displayed in the Status Bar.
