Ciaran,
 
What version of PowerPoint are you using? I am using the 2003 version here.
I have tried the enter key and it does nothing but it produces a message
saying "there is no pointer in the slide - use the context menu to select a
pointer". 
The backspace key has no effect at all.
 
 

All the best,

I think the enter key produces the same result as the space bar i.e. moves
to the next slide.
 
The backspace key takes you back to the previous one.

    Paul,
 
I have just run a PowerPoint presentation here to test how it works on my PC
with the following results:
 
F5 opened the slide show on slide 1. 
Pressing the space bar moved to the next slide and JAWS read the contents
automatically. 
pressing the Space bar again moved to next slide and read the contents
automatically.
At the last slide  the space bar exited the slide show and brought me back
to the view mode.
 
While the slide show was running (after f5), pressing "p"  and "n" did not
produce anything meaningful but did speak the current line. 
 
Pressing the numpad "/" for the right mouse key opened up a contest menu
where "n" moved to the next slide and 2p" moved to the previous slide. So
these two work only under the context menu activated by the right mouse
click.
A useful trick is to start the slide show with f5 then press Insert-1 for
the Jaws keyboard help and then press each key in turn and Jaws will say
what each is meant to do. There are many of them and you might test them and
let us know what you find!
 
Meanwhile, the space bar is the handiest way to advance the slide show once
F5 has been pressed.
 
 

All the best,


Cearbhall

Hi,
 
Spacebar usually moves forward a slide.
 
N and P are supposed to moved forward and back a slide, but I have tried
this in the past without success.
 
As already said, also try pagedown and pageup.
 
 
 
Take care,
