[nobe-l] powerpoints

Wed Aug 15 12:30:00 UTC 2012

Ok, so I checked out that jaws tutorial, and it only seems to cover
powerpoint 2003-2007. Has anyone used 2010 at all? I just got a new
computer, and they installed 2010 on it. I didn't realize how
different the layout was going to be for word, and haven't even tried
ppt yet, and considering I'm going in to methods this fall and
student-teaching in spring, it'd be very helpful to know how to use it
again...
thanks for any tips at all.
