What program are you trying to read the PowerPoint presentation in.
If PowrePoint, try saving it with the save as option.
I frequently use PowerPoint presentations without any problems.

Subject: Reading PowerPoint documents

I have an eight-slide PowerPoint document, including text boxes, that 
I want to convert to text.  JAWS is struggling with it in PowerPoint, 
and I can't cut/paste it either in slide view or in outline view.  I 
thought I saw a utility somewhere that would make the conversion but 
I don't remember where--the story of my life!

Any suggestions??

thanks,

Ann
