Hi, All,

Unfortunately, I don't have Powerpoint so I'll just not worry about reading
it.

Thanks very much to you all. What a helpful list this is!

Best wishes,

Joan.

Hi Joan,
If you have PowerPoint, you may be able to open
the file there, and do a Save As, selecting File
Type as RTF (Rich Text Format).  All being well,
you may then be able to open it in Word or
Wordpad.  Any pictures will be stripped out, but
at least you will be able to read any text.

We do this quite a lot with the Braille bureau.

George.
