[nabs-l] powerpoint question on embedding objects or videos

[James Hulme]

Hello Ashley Bramlett,


I do not use JAWS or any version of JAWS 16 at all but this is an article
from Microsoft that might help answer your questions.

I have attached the link below, if you have any further problems please do
not hesitate to e-mail me off list. I have also asked the question to our
tech division list so they could provide other feedback as well. I hope
thsi helps.

Providing feedback to Microsoft at teh end of teh article with a click on
yes or no is what you have to do after reading the artcile if you want tod
o so.

Here is the link:
