MessageHi,
Yeah, I've tried a Window-Eyes 7.11 demo with Powerpoint 2007 and found that
the notes pane reads just fine and I can edit reasonably well, too. Hmmm, I
wonder what kind of control Window-Eyes sees in the notes pane and what
reclassing that control with JAWS would do. I tried reclassing it to a
multi-line edit control but had no luck.
Slightly puzzled.
Tom

Pasting form notepad is a neat trick I hadn't heard about. I haven't been
able to get Jaws to read either the outline pane or the notes pane. I am going
to try that. UP till now, I've been using a demo of Window eyes which reads
both these panes just fine in powerpoint 2007. Thinking about biting the
bullet and buying it when I have the five hundred bucks. I haven't had Jaws
throw any conniptions over having them both on my machine.
Thanks.

Tom,
I took a web course from Freedom Scientific on using PowerPoint with JAWS
and there was discussion on the notes pane. Basically you cannot do any editing
in the notes pane, but you can create your notes in Notepad and then copy/paste
to the relevant Notes panel for the slide.
There is then a JAWS keystroke to read the notes when you have a slide on
view.
There may be some Freedom Scientific information on their training page.

Subject: Notes Pane in Powerpoint 2007
Hi,
I found what looks to be a neat little Powerpoint 2007 tutorial at
http://www.utexas.edu/disability/ai/resource/tutorials_classes/JAWS/ppt_overview07.htm
and thought it would be good to know a little about JAWS and Powerpoint.
One of the problems that I've run into is how to get the Notes pane to
read properly when editing or reviewing slide notes. When I run the
presentation, JAWS reads the slide notes automatically. Does the notes pane
need to be reclassed? Or is there some other method of getting JAWS to read
text in this pane as I add or review it? My workaround thus far has been to
create the slide notes in notepad or Word, then paste them in, not exactly the
most efficient way to do things. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom
