Just to let you know, you should be able to just press F5 after opening a
PowerPoint presentation, and it'll run as a slide show. I just looked up the
shortcut to see if it was available in Office 2007, since I have 2003, and
it is. Also, I can move character by character when reading the slide as I
am running a slide show, and I personally haven't had issues with JAWS not
reading past certain items--this is currently with Office 2003, though, and
I can't speak to Office 2007 from personal experience. BTW, if anyone has a
PACMate Omni here and hasn't yet tried it, running a slide show in PPT
Mobile pretty much works the same way--SPACE and BACKSPACE move you forward
and backward, respectively, through slides, and the slides are presented in
the Virtual Viewer.

Cheers,
Maria
