Come to that, I wish they'd offer a real course on dragging and
dropping.  JFW has alleged it's possible since the very beginning, but
it's never worked well for me--really too bad in a way.  The big problem
seems to be the program shuts up when you are locked down, so it's hard
to know what you're doing.

Hi,

Freedom Scientific has a Powerpoint tutorial on their training web page.
The tutorial is pretty good, though I did run into some problems in one
section where even though it's for JAWS users, it talks about dragging
things around with a mouse.  Right. Like that's gonna happen.

 

Another tutorial that I found fairly useful is available at:

 

http://www.utexas.edu/disability/ai/resource/tutorials_classes/

 

Unlike the FS tutorial, this one just tells you the procedures for
putting Powerpoint presentations together without specific examples, so
you have plenty of leeway to design anything you want to.  I like that
aspect of it.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Tom

        Does anyone know of an accessible Power Point tutorial which is
friendly to screen readers?  Also, I have a link to the accessible
publishing wizard, which was supposed to take you to information about
accessible power points on the web.  The link I was given does not work.
Can anyone help with my two questions?  Thank you.
