Hi,
I found that editing slide title and subtitle text wasn't that difficult; what you do is press enter on the title or subtitle placeholder and it becomes editable. Press escape when you're finished to return to the object layer. Slide notes, on the other hand can be a real pain in the butt. My work-around was and still is to put my slide note together using notepad or even Word, select all of it, alt+tab over to the slide note pane and paste it in. It's not efficient in the least but it works. Freedom really needs to address this issue, as it's been around for quite some time.

Hi all,

I don't understand why I can't focus on the text of a slide and edit it in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 with jaws 12.

Are there either a tutorial, or tips and tricks, explaining how to efficiently use PowerPoint 2007 with jaws please?

Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris D
