Thanks Jimmy I am sure u have made things clear in my third question I meant if
one needed to describe his point of view but I realize that u can do this
yourself as u go about the show. But I would love to know or understand how to
insert video or photo clips in my slide show for example, I am teaching about
Jomo Kenyatta and some of my audiance have never seen his photo! How would I
demonstrate this say with a photo of him.
Please let me know as soon as you discoverr the technique.
Once again, thanks for shedding this light to us as it has really changed my
outlook of power point which seemed to me as a world of sighted folks only.
Good day and
God bless you.
Cheers,
Juma.

Hi Juma,
I don't really know the amount of information you can place in any one
slide as it is dependent on your design and personal preference, however
what I prefer and use as a guide is the fewer the points the better, i.e.
never to exceed ten to fifteen points, any topic that warrants more than
this probably deserves to be further divided into a sub-topic, and hence
extended onto another slide to accommodate additional points. Remember the
way PowerPoint is designed does not lend itself to lengthy prose style
files.
The basic structure of PowerPoint gives one the opportunity to list out and
then expound on a certain number of points normally few i.e. ten or so.
Since one presents the show to an audience which more or less see the points
projected on a screen, [hence the large font type i.e. 32], their interest
while focused on the screen is more targeted on how one expands the subject
matter.
2. Your second query is with respect to how one can insert an object, this
being either a chart, excel file, video etc. The method I sent suggested a
quick way to create a PowerPoint slide and show. The insertion and
subsequent recognition from Word of these objects in similar fashion is for
now beyond my skill, as it requires the tagging or styling the object so
that PowerPoint recognises it as such from within Word but I'll investigate
and let you know.
3. Regarding your third question, I'm not sure I understand, do you mean the
creation of an audio file that describes the points, but I don't think this
is what you meant, because that would eliminate the need for your
participation as a presenter, or do you mean an audio file embedded in a
slide as an object, but then again I think not as this was the basis for
your query in 2 above , I believe I've missed something. Please explain what
you mean and I'll do what I can to provide you a solution.
Thanks.
Jimmy.

Hi Jimmy thanks for this wonderful piece of information.
I have tried it and it has worked perfectly well.
However, i have a few questions please.
1. How much information can a slide accept at a time.
2. In case i want to insert a photo or video demonstration in my
presentation, how do i go abut it.
3. What about an audio description of what i am showing in print.
Thanks once again.
Yours faithfully,
Juma Mwakha.

Hello Jimmy,
Thanks so much for your finformation. I have followed the steps in
locating teh file for conversion to a powe point slide and it has
worked perfectly.
indeed i believe the Sopvid platform is a good and convinient school
for sharing information.
secondly, i I wish to inform you that Mr. Michael murungi, the C.E.O
of the Kenya Law Reporting is leaving the organisation to Google, the
tech giant. I believe thsi is a good move even for us. This is so
because there he can implement greatly our accessibility needs. We
will definitely invite him over to one of our Sopvid meetings and see
how we begin the partnership.
Kind regards,
Stan
