Hi Kennedy. JAWS actually works really well with PowerPoint. Once you
open PowerPoint, press Control N to create a new presentation. Then on
each slide you can tab between the "title place holder" and the
"object place holder". Press Etr on the title place holder to type in
the title. Press Escape to get out of editing, tab over to the
objectplace holder, then press enter to type in the text for your
slide. You can use shift-F6 to get to a pane where you can add slides.
Insert + F1 gives you a lot of JAWS instructions. When I add graphics
to PowerPoint I usually get a sighted reader to help arrange it so it
looks nice, but you can definitely create the text part of the
presentation by yourself.
Best, Arielle
