Hello Mike, A .PPS extention is for a PowerPoint presentation that opens in the Show Mode. If you open it through Windows Explorer then it goes into show mode and you don't have the menu bar. You might try browsing to it using the open dialog box in PowerPoint. You can also safely rename it to a .PPT file. Opening it as .PPT will cause the file to open in normal presentation mode and not in the show mode. You will likely be able to work with it a lot better simply by renaming the file to a .PPT.
Take care. Brian Lee [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

If I try to open the menues with the Alt key nothing opens, & nothing happens when I try to open the file menu with the Alt + F keystroke. The only thing I can get to open is Jaws options, Jaws key + V. Any suggestions why no menues will open? Thank you very much. Take care.

Hit your f12 key tab to file type arrow down to outline rtf and then save. You might want to check and make sure your getting all the content from some sample slides, but this has usually worked well for me when I've needed to use it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Is it possible to select the text from all 15 slides at 1 time? If so, how would I do it & if not how do I select the text from the individual slides? I tried using slect all on the individual slides using the Jaws append to clipboard feature but, I ended up having the text from 1 slide overriding another & got multiple copies of the same text in various areas of the Word document I pasted the text into. I am running Office 2007, XP Home, Jaws 13 & 14. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.
