Looking for Spread Sheet other than Office
|
Dave
Hello,
I have chosen to no longer use Office. However, there are occasions when I want to use a Spread Sheet. Are there any Spread Sheets other than Excel that will work with Jaws or NVDA? Thanks, Grumpy Dave -- Dave <dlh007@centurylink.net>

Only one I know of is OpenOffice. I used it several years ago with JAWS successfully.

Hi, have you considered Apache Open Office? I have no experience with it and NVDA, but its a knock off of Office including its version of excel and word. Best of all its free.

It works fine with NVDA, and it is office compatable if you need it.

Not sure Steve. As I contemplated replying to your post earlier I began to think about As Easy As 1-2-3. A search for As Easy As Spreadsheet returned a sight that had multiple spreadsheets, all of which are free. Anyway, about Apache, I just completed a course on Excel, and found that most things in Excel work fine in Apache spreadsheet, or what ever it might be called. Hope you can find what you need.

I heard that the free open source libreoffice works better. and you can also use google sheets in firefox with NVDA and download a local copy of the spreadsheet to your machine as an .xlsx file.

Re the query about Apache and other companies, no you're on the right track - the history of what is now both Open Office and Libre Office is long and complex. How to Geek did an article a couple of years ago on the differences between those two suites and a brief history (not from an accessibility point of view, but interesting nonetheless): https://www.howtogeek.com/187663/openoffice-vs.-libreoffice-whats-the-difference-and-which-should-you-use/ Regards Quentin.
