[nabs-l] Using links in PowerPoint slides

[Cindy Bennett]

Hi Arielle,

I think your question is a good one, and I look forward to seeing the
thread. If I have time to Google this before an answer comes out, I
will.

The one thing I wanted to mention although you may be doing this
already is that most sighted people I know cue up all of the videos
they want to show in separate internet tabs. So, even if you figure
out how to do this with JAWS, glitches can always happen, and you can
easily alt-tab to the appropriate window and press the play button. I
think they load the videos and press pause since Youtube starts
playing them immediately after the link is clicked.
