[nabs-l] powerpoint questions

Nimer,
it’s the latest. Its 2010. I noticed jaws will state some names like names 
of animations as you pick them in the ribbon. But it doesn't really say what 
backgrounds they have. It says background 1, 2, etc. So, I'm not sure some 
of powerpoint is  accessible.
I can definitely apply animations and transitions, but I'd like to know 
where they are and which ones I chose.

Ashley

Hello Ash,

I try to hel you out with a couple of your questions, but I need to
know which version of powerpoint you're using. I'm sorry if you've
already mentioned this on list.

Thanks.
