[nfbcs] Power Point

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

I am more familiar with JAWS than NVDA.

If you go to JAWS help, popular applications, Microsoft, there is a section
on how to use PowerPoint.  A basic PowerPoint slide show is pretty easy to
create.  To read a presentation, open PowerPoint, hit alt, arrow to slide
show, arrow down to the "start at the first slide" option, hit enter.  From
then on, his spacebar to advance, and backspace to go backwards.  There are
options for reading the notes frame of each slide.

Good luck.



, and 

Regards

Subject: [nfbcs] Power Point

Hello, for my job, I need to compile a report by using Power Point.  My
supervisor is open to using a new format but I think that, in order to be
successful in our modern workplace, it would benefit me to learn Power
Point.  Admitedly, I've always tried to avoid it but, as I understand, it is
usable by blind people.  

 

May I ask that someone email me off-list perhaps, as I'm not sure that this
is on topic, with suggestions on how to learn Power Point?  I'm pretty
skilled at self-learning, so I imagine that I'll pick it up quickly but
visual tools intimidate me.  Would it be better to use JAWS instead of NVDA?
Any other tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Robert
