[nabs-l] Office 2016

[gpaikens at gmail.com]

Hi Kelsey, 
It is difficult to offer much advice from your message but I know that one
of the biggest changes for switching to Office 2013 or later is the
backstage views used in the File tab. Freedom Scientific has a free webinar
about Office 2016 that does a pretty good job explaining how they work. The
link is:

tail/F0117

Also, by default, it seems as though all of the Office programs open any
file that wasn't created on your computer in protected view. You can turn
this off by going to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center settings >
Protected View and unchecking the boxes there. 

Aside from those two things, working in PowerPoint should be pretty similar
to what you are used to in 2010. 

I hope this helps.

-Greg

Hello,
I mentioned I will be giving a presentation on assistive technology at work.
I just found out that it will be September 12. I am working on putting my
PowerPoint together, but it's not going so well using JAWS with Office 2016.
It took me half an hour to enable editing first off, then another hour just
jo edit a couple slides. I ended up having to get a sighted friend to help
me. Therefore, if anyone has suffessfully created a presentation using
Office 2016 with JAWS, please email me off list for some possible
assistance. I never had this much trouble with Office 2010. My email address
is piano.girl0299 at gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind oegards,
Kelsey Nicolay
