Greg,

This is good and I understand.  Powerpoint would be hugely helpful!

I'm sorry to say that I can't write data back to Excel format.
Remember that Daisy is a read only format what I would be doing is
making recording of the information in the spreadsheet. If you want to
edit spreadsheets wait for Mariner Calc to come out.

What this would do is to place audio markers at the start of tables,
rows, headers and so on so that you knew what you were reading for
example the narration might sound like this:

Sheet 1.
Start of table.
Row.
Cell: Year
Cell: Month
Cell: Day
Row.
Cell: 2006
Cell: December
Cell: 25
Row.
Cell: 2005
Cell: December
Cell: 25

and so on through the sheet. The announcing of rows, cells and so on
would be lower than the announcing of the data within the cell so you
could tell the difference between the description of the data and the
data itself. Likely this will be a MacOSX application only at first.
You will run it and it will make a file that you can then send to
dtbmaker for conversion into a Daisy book. or you could just send to
swift directly provided you have a Cepstral voice installed.

I could do the same for PowerPoint presentations as well if that would
be useful. Please send your comments to the list and to me personally
