Hi Bill, I am by no means a Powerpoint expert. I use Powerpoint for the course handouts I use when I teach Oracle courses. When I want to make changes I TAB around and JAWS speaks the contents where I land. I use SlideShow mode to find the slide I want to change. Pressin spacebar during a slide show advances to the next slide and reads it. This is the only way to advance slides and have them read. Clicking the mouse or pressing PageDown does advance the slide but doesn't speak it. Hope this helps. -Harald -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bill Tipton Sent: Thursday, 01 September, 2005 16:46 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Adding Text Into Power Point Files? Hi Harald, This does help tons, thanks. When you are tabbing from point to point is there a easy way to tell where you are, so you know when to press F2 to edit? For example is there a way to read the complete file and then get into edit mode when you find the place you want to edit? Thanks for your help.
