Hi Ed Marquette, I've found something for you in my documents about MS powerpoint. Here it is: Microsoft PowerPoint Create a New Presentation 1. Open Microsoft PowerPoint by pressing Ctrl + Esc or the Windows key, then P for Programs, and M until Microsoft PowerPoint is reached, then press Enter. 2. At the PowerPoint dialog box, there are four choices: AutoContent Wizard, Template, Blank Presentation, and Open an Existing Presentation. Press B or use the Vertical Arrow keys to move to Blank Presentation and press Enter. 3. The New Slide dialog box opens and there are 24 different styles of new slides that can be created. The slides are in 4 columns with 6 rows each and by using the Arrow keys, you can move to each slide and JAWS will read the description of that slide. 4. In a basic presentation you will probably only need the default slide, which is called the Title Slide, and the slide style to the right of the Title Slide, which is the Bulleted List. 5. Press Enter to accept the Title Slide and JAWS will speak Click to Add Title. The Title Slide layout includes two text boxes called Text Placeholders. Text on the slide can only be entered into the text placeholders, which physically limit the amount of space that is available for the text. 6. Press Tab and a selection box surrounds the Title Placeholder, indicating it is ready for you to enter or edit text. Type in the title of the slide presentation. If you make an error, press the Backspace key to correct the text. 7. Press Escape to leave the Object Level, or to close the title placeholder. 8. Press Tab to move to the sub-title placeholder and type in the sub-title of the slide presentation. Press Escape to close the sub-title placeholder. 9. To edit text in a placeholder, Tab to the placeholder and press Enter. The entire text will be highlighted and you can type over it, or press the Right Arrow to remove the highlighting and use the Backspace key. 10. Press the F12 key to Save As and assign the presentation a name. 11. Press Ctrl + M to open the New Slide dialog box. The Bulleted List slide layout will automatically be selected. Press Enter to accept the choice. 12. Press Tab to move to the Title Placeholder and type in the title of the slide. Press Escape to close the placeholder. 13. Press Tab to move to the Bulleted List Placeholder. Type in the first main point and press Enter. Continue until all topic points have been entered, then press Escape to close the placeholder. 14. Continue adding slides by pressing Ctrl + M for the New Slide dialog box and Enter to select the Bulleted List until the presentation is complete. 15. The last slide, the Conclusion Slide, should be of the same layout type as the previous slides. The presentation should focus attention on informational content and not distract the viewers with dissimilar slide formats. The Conclusion Slide could list the titles of each of the other slides as a review of the covered material. 16. Press Ctrl + Home to move to the first slide created. 17. Note: Page Up will move to the next slide and Page Down will move to the previous slide. I hope it helps, Moti Israel ----- Original Message ----- From: "emarquette" <emarquette@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 4:45 AM Subject: Power Point The help is pretty good inside JAWS and Power Point, but is anyone aware of something a little more tutorial in style that instructs one on the use of Power Point with JAWS?
