Yeah, I've never experienced sluggishness either, and I haven't made any changes with it. Maybe it's something in the most recent Libra, as mine is not updated. Glenn

Hello all, My last comment on this is that for me, and again, just for me, Office is amazingly snappy, but LibreOffice, even using its own format with a fresh document, is sluggish. So, if I need it

I can replicate what you are talking about. If a group of cells with content is selected and then I hit either Control key, Excel opens some sort of small pop-up with options in it. I hear JAWS say,

LibreOffice supports all MS-Office file formats natively. No conversions are necessary, and it can save in those formats natively, too. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 20H2, Build 19042

Interesting. Wonder if you have something going on with display drivers or some such. To me, programs other than Microsoft Office aren't going to get the speech support, and if you've have

I went to the Libreoffice site but could not find out just what is included in this suite. I know it has word processing but what other aps are included? Thanks, Marie

At David’s recommendation, I install LibreOffice as an alternative when I might need a different program than the Microsoft Office. Jaws seems rather sluggish after opening a word document. I

Thanks to David, I went and looked at the LibreOffice web site. It is the successor to Open Office, according to their site, so yes, go with LibreOffice. Here is the
