[JAWSLite] Re: JAWS capability previous PowerPoiint concerns

I don't have a problem with graphics in a slide show, however, the content 
needs to be readable.  That is to say, you can create the slide but you can't 
scan an image in for example and expect Jaws or any other screen reader to read 
it.  I am pretty sure that after looking at this, I'd say these are images that 
have been used over and over and are almost like embedded pictures of original 
screen captures.

As a non-PowerPoint user and someone long since graduated from college, I've 
been following Don Mauck's and now your suggestions to Vanessa with interest. I 
don't think we can tell professors not to use graphics, but we can say that if 
they do so, they should provide text equivalents. I hope Don and others 
familiar with PowerPoint can come up with good guidelines for students 
confronting this and other applications that present accessibility 
difficulties. It's wonderful that subscribers to this list provide such 
valuable help to students, as well as the rest of us.

You need to tel the instructors that in order for you to view a power point 
using jaws, the powerpoint itself needs to be in HTML format and that no 
graphics shall be present. HTH.

To make a request to a professor so that the material for a class is readable 
by JAWS, do I state that the information must be text based not graphic based? 
Or is this referred to in some other words?

Vanessa, Was this originally created in Word? Was it originally an actual power 
point? Right now, I'd say that this was not created in Power point, however, if 
it was I'd like to see the actual power point rather than having it put into a 
word document. You also sent it to me in a format that Jaws does not support so 
I had to change the view to a normal view. So just to make sure you understand 
what I'm asking, what was the original format you were given?

I have attached the WORD document that has two of the slides in it. Thank you 
for your assistance.

Hmmm, it could be some kind of imbedded graphic I'd half to see it. If you want 
you could send it to me directly as an attachment and I

could have a look.

Nothing happens exept, JAWS reads tab enter. Is an embedded field something 
that sounds like it came from PowerPoint?

Did you try to press enter on the slide? What happens if you press

the tab key and then press the enter key?

I tried enter and f6 to access the content of the slide. I have been able to 
copy it to WORD, but not to this message so you could see it. In WORD, it is 
called an embedded field.

Does this tell you anything more about the slide? I thought it was created with 
PowerPoint, but I am guessing. I will ask for assistance from the instructor, 
but I wanted to make sure I

was using JAWS correctly.

Any suggestions on how this text can be read, or that it can not be

read by JAWS? Vanessa

Here's what I have found. To read the slide you need to press the enter key to 
get into the text. For example: if you see "slide one," you can then tab, press 
enter, and you should see the information in the slide. Also you can press F6 
to cycle through the slide name, thumb nail and notes. So you may have some one 
who has entered

something in the notes content that you might need to read as well.

When in PowerPoint, read the helps that Jaws provides, it will also be a big 
help in this. Hth.

I am taking a class on the internet. PowerPoint is used for some of the class. 
Can anyone advise me if JAWS will work on PowerPoint slide shows. I had some 
training in PowerPoint many years ago, so I know

JAWS will work, but I do not know enough to be aware of whether the

creator of the slide-show has to create it in a specific way or if I need to 
change my JAWS settings to read the material. JAWS is reading all of the links 
around the slides, but not recognizing the slide text.
