I often export powerpoint files into an RTF format which can then be relatively easily read through MSWord. To do so, select FILE | Save As and then select the outline/rtf format. Alternatively, you can save it as an html file viewable in internet explorer, but I have had less success with this format.

If PowrePoint, try saving it with the save as option. I frequently use PowerPoint presentations without any problems.

JAWS is struggling with it in PowerPoint, and I can't cut/paste it either in slide view or in outline view. I thought I saw a utility somewhere that would make the conversion but I don't remember where--the story of my life!
