Hi.
I'm doing translation work for some companies. Until recently, they
used to send me Microsoft Word and Excel files, but recently they
started to ask me to translate on Powerpoint files.
I have Office 2013 Personal and it came without Powerpoint, so I think I
will have to buy it if they continue to ask me to translate on
Powerpoint files and I can use Powerpoint.
The problem is that I have never used Powerpoint and I have no idea if I
would be able to use it with the latest version of NVDA on the
Anniversary Edition of Windows 10. I am totally blind.
I will need to read the text and rewrite it in a different language,
keeping the layout information (underline, colors, indentation, ETC) as
close to the original as possible.
Is someone using Powerpoint with NVDA?
How accessible is it?
Can you save files, for example on HTML format and load them back on
Powerpoint?
I can do so with Microsoft Word and it is very easy to keep almost all
the layout information that way (I just need to translate the text and
leave the tags as they are).
Do you think that it pays to buy Powerpoint and have a try?
Thank you.
George
