Hi Mariela,
Some of what you want to know depends on the version of PowerPoint and JAWS that you are using. The main keys to use with JAWS in PowerPoint 2003 and PowerPoint 2007 are f6 to move pane to pane. The f6 key will move you from slide view to the slide thumbnail view, notes view, etc. You can use tab and shift+tab within one of those views to move between the controls within the view. You can use enter key to move from an object level to an editing level, and escape key to move back to the object level. You can use CTRL+pageUp or CTRL+PageDown keys to move slide to slide. You can use up or down arrow keys in the notes area if you press enter to move into the editing level. In PowerPoint 2007, the F6 key will also bring you into the ribbon area and the status bar. When including pictures you can add alt text to the pictures. In Word use your arrow key to move on to the picture. Make sure in verbosity that JAWS is set to speak picture information. When you move the cursor on to the picture then select the picture. Using shift+right arrow key will often do the selection. Use application key and find the format picture menu choice. Press enter key on the choice. Use CTRL+tab to move to the alt text page where you can add the alt text description.

Hello, people, my name is Mariela and I am from Argentina. In my job I've been asked to create a Power Point presentation from some Microsoft Word documents and inserting some image (.jpg) files, and I'd like to know the way how Jaws works with that. I know, of course, that Jaws wouldn't read images, and I have some help from a sighted person when I need it; what I want to know is basically what I can do with Jaws, how far I can get using Power Point with Jaws and which are the basic commands. Many thanks in advance, Mariela __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
