In power point when preparing for presentations, you can't put a slide together
in columns. Especially, if you are going to read the presentation on a Braille
display. When I called Freedom Scientific concerning reading columns in pp
presentations, they could not give me the answer.
example:
money spent
2009 2010
$4,500 $5,000
so we had to say the same info across the slide:
Money Spent
2009 $4,500
$2010 $5,000
So my assistant prepared the nice looking pp for the sighted persons, and one I
could use. It is a pain--but at least we can operate and go from one slide to
another if our projectors are focused properly.

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.
