[nabs-l] Creating a powerpoint

[Ashley Bramlett]

office 2010 is not as user friendly. Theanimations and slide transitions are 
not named. Jaws will just say background 1, 2 etc. You will need sighted 
assistance to know what it is showing unless you have vision; before, at 
least it  had names. like fire ball background for a bright red with white 
text or waterfall for a blue background.

Its doable still but yeah not as easy.

If you have Office 2010, making a power point may be a little difficult. In 
my experience, that version of Microsoft Office Power Point is not user 
friendly.
