[nfbcs] About accessibility of Powerpoint 2013 with NVDA

[Louis Maher]

George,

Once in PowerPoint, you might be able to translate without disturbing the
formatting.  

I am a JAWS user, and occasionally use NVDA.  I believe that NVDA does work
with PowerPoint.

George, 

If you are going to buy anything, spend $99 per year and get office 365.
You can then download office 2016 to your machine.

com hello George,

I have not used PowerPoint 2013 but PowerPoint 2010 is accessible. You do
have to learn how to work with it though. It is not the same as editing a
word file or even an Excel file. But if you're able to use PowerPoint 2010
that is definitely accessible. Perhaps someone else on here has tried
PowerPoint 2013 and can give you specifics about that version.
