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.

The backspace key takes you back to the previous one.

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.

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.
