[Nfbc-info] a jawsy jaws question

[Jonathan Lyens]

LM,

I have found an ability to navigate a presentation and edit some text.
But, my problem has always been the asthetics of a presentation. Even if
I were able to put together an entire presentation independantly (a
dream I'd love to realize) I don't think I would ever actually use it
without a sighted reviewer. I personally find similar challenges with
tables in MS Word.  

Hope that helps.  

Jonathan

Hoby, angela, Eileen, Tif, Jim, well, Jim not-so-much *grin* jk,

Thanks for all of your help. I'll check out that attachment, and those
websites, but for now, I think I might side with Hoby on this one. In
the past, I've gathered all of my text and graphics together and have
had a sighted reader, aka, my husband, put it together. But I keep
hearing that it is possible for a JAWS user to do powerpoint so I will
try and learn. Thanks much to all.
