Re: Is this a glitch with Orca and Libre Office?

I can confirm this bug as well here. Seems that Orca has a bug that it
cannot read Libreoffice documents. I tried updating from version 6 to 7,
but seems the problem never disappeared. Unfortunately, it seems
Libreoffice is the only program that can handle office documents on
Linux.
