[nabs-l] using a Mac for powerpoint presentation

[Mary Fernandez]

Gloria and all,
What Cindy said is correct. Currently, microsoft office products are
not compatible with Voice Over. This is one of those cases that the
best option would be for someone else to switch  the slides. since you
are familiar with your presentation, I'd either ask for a volunteer
via email today, or ask the professor if they have a suggestion. If
this is a class presentation, you want to make sure everyone is
benefiting from it. Once you have whoever is going to be switching,
you can tell them you give a short nod when you are ready for them to
change the slide. I find that nodding, or looking at the person is
less disrupting than saying something verbally.
Hope this helps.
Mary
