Pasting form notepad is a neat trick I hadn't heard about. I haven't been
able to get Jaws to read either the outline pane or the notes pane. I am
going to try that. UP till now, I've been using a demo of Window eyes which
reads both these panes just fine in powerpoint 2007. Thinking about biting
the bullet and buying it when I have the five hundred bucks. I haven't had
Jaws throw any conniptions over having them both on my machine.
Thanks.

Tom,
I took a web course from Freedom Scientific on using PowerPoint with JAWS
and there was discussion on the notes pane. Basically you cannot do any
editing in the notes pane, but you can create your notes in Notepad and then
copy/paste to the relevant Notes panel for the slide.
There is then a JAWS keystroke to read the notes when you have a slide on
view.
There may be some Freedom Scientific information on their training page.

Subject: Notes Pane in Powerpoint 2007
Hi,
I found what looks to be a neat little Powerpoint 2007 tutorial at
http://www.utexas.edu/disability/ai/resource/tutorials_classes/JAWS/ppt_over
view07.htm
and thought it would be good to know a little about JAWS and Powerpoint.
One of the problems that I've run into is how to get the Notes pane to read
properly when editing or reviewing slide notes. When I run the presentation,
JAWS reads the slide notes automatically. Does the notes pane need to be
reclassed? Or is there some other method of getting JAWS to read text in
this pane as I add or review it? My workaround thus far has been to create
the slide notes in notepad or Word, then paste them in, not exactly the most
efficient way to do things. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom
