Dear Harold,

THANK YOU for that. I will try as soon as I can.

You are an expert I see... Do you use Nero as well?

Cheers ever so much, Andrew.

  Hi Andrew,

  By pressing the TAB key in PowerPoint you can jump from object to object.
  Once landed on the object you want to change press F2 to enter Edit mode.
  Now you can change your text.
  Once done press Escape to quit Edit mode.
  Now press TAB again to jump to the next object.
  Once all objects are changed press PageDown to move to the next slide.

  Hope this helpts.

  -Harald

    Dear All,

    I have just heard about you. My name is Andrew and I went blind four years 
ago. I use Jaws 5.10 and have Windows XP and Windows 2000 in the laptop and 
desktop respectively. I have not got a lot of idea about screen-readers due to 
my lack of experience but I have several questions I need to solve:

    I am a translator and need to learn how to change a Spanish Power Point 
presentation so that it will read in English. What I need to do is enter the 
various slides, select the text, and overwrite it in English without changing 
the pictures.

    How do I do that with Jaws 5.10? Are there any keystrokes?

    A friend suggested to save the Power Point presentation in an MS Word 
format, change the text and then save the MS Word document as a Power Point 
presentation again. Does that work?

    Cheers to all and lovely meeting you.

    Andrew.
