Thanks in advance. I am using PowerPoint 2003, Jaws 7 When in presentation mode I experience a loss of focus which is frustrating at any time, but for me, especially when teaching a class of university students. Sometimes jaws works well, others I have to alt tab away from the presentation and then back to it. Sometimes this doesn't help either. Symptoms: If up-arrowing jaws will read previous slide. If down-arrowing jaws only reads a line or two then makes the sound that indicates the bottom of a page, this in spite of the fact that it has not yet reached the bottom of the slide. I tried various monitor settings. I have done all the XP and Office updates. My computer is a Dell inspiron 9200 laptop using the ATI Radeon mobility vid card, XP home, AVG anti-virus program. If PowerPoint 2003 is problematic with jaws, I do have 2000 that I can try going back to. Again, thanks Robert McCoy 506-459-6636 -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
