Thanks a lot for this information, I'll archive it for now because this is a
bit over my head.
Right now, I don't have a clue about PowerPoint and how it works, and the
Jaws help file tells me to go to Microsoft for answers, and I don't think I
need to express sentiment on that futility.
I'm still searching and I'm going to use the google microsoft search and see
how I come out.
I need the basic basic basic guide to PowerPoint.
