You can check the presentation I made at the RMLL conference last month:
<http://2011.rmll.info/Accessibilite-des-documents> (in English and in French).

I you prefer text (and more details), you can check the authoring 
techniques for OpenOffice Writer (v3.2) from the ADOD project at 
<http://adod.idrc.ocad.ca/>. You will need to work around some bugs 
of you are using LibreOffice 3.3, for example, adding alt text to 
images after the caption (because adding a caption deletes the alt 
text), or identifying the language of links (because links by default 
have no language in OOo or Libo, unless you modify the character 
style named "Internet link").

Best regards,

Christophe
