What I have found sometimes is that saving the powerpoint files in rtf simply gives you the outlines without some of the text inside the slides? _____ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Theresa Hodge Sent: 19 July 2009 06:38 PM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Brailling PowerPoint Presentations Hi George That's what I suspected. I've gone a similar route before, but just thought I'd ask if there was a simpler way in case I was taking the long way round!

I usually do a Save As in PowerPoint, as an Outline/RTF file. I bring that into Word, edit it to ensure appropriate page breaks, remove graphics and replace with text if necessary, etc., and then save the result as a .doc file which I finally bring in to DBT. It?s a bit of a hike, but usually isn?t quite as tedious as it sounds. George.

The presentation in question is mostly text, but there are a couple of pages with pictures. I know I will have to describe the pictures, but this isn't a problem because I have enough sight to see where in amongst the text these need to go and know what they are so can describe them. Any help gratefully received.
