Up and down arrow is to review the information on a given slide, and should not move from one slide to another. However sometimes jaws does not seem to recognize the top of the slide I am showing and the bottom of the previous slide, Jaws crosses into the previous slide and reads the information there. Gets frustrating. The worst however is when I can not down arrow through a complete slide and read the points I have included. I may have to give 2000 a try.

But I dont understand what up and down arrow have to do with next and previous slied. I use spacebar and backspace to move around during a slide show and that works just fine. I dont have PowerPoint 2003, so I cant verify that PowerPoint causes the trouble. I would suggest you try PPT2000 your self and see if it fixes your problem. Hope this helpts. -Harald -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robert McCoy Sent: Wednesday, 23 November, 2005 09:39 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: PowerPoint 2003, Jaws 7, focus problems in presentation mode 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.
