There are a couple of ways to do this.

1)  If the presentation is created correctly, JAWS should read the =
information as it comes up on the screen.  If the information is designed =
from graphics, then this will not work.

2)  Open the presentation in PowerPoint.  Go to the File menu, select Send =
To, select Word, check Outline Only, and OK.  This will create a Word =
document with the text of the slides in an outline format.

If either of these doesn't get you what you need, let me know and I'll try =
a couple of other options.

Hi.

From time to time, I have to read Powerpoint presentations.  There doesn't =
seem to be a lot of Jaws help for this topic.

Does anyone have or use a procedure that easily extracts the text from =
slides while keeping them in order or at least in context?

Thanks in advance.
