Hi Bill, I am using JAWS 7.0 and sometimes 7.1 with Microsoft Office Suite 2003. Have you tried displaying your presentation in outline format? Here is a brief description on how to do this.
Open your presentation in PowerPoint. Use the Shift F6 key to move to the pane where the thumb nails of your slides are displayed. Route your JAWS cursor to the PC cursor. Arrow up to the tabs at the top of the pane. When you get there you will here their names, "outline", "Slide". Use Control Right and Control Left arrow to move to "outline". Use your left mouse button to click "outline". Change back to the PC cursor. Now you can move around in the outline view to read your presentation. You can edit the presentation from here as well. If your presentation is relatively simple with some graphics, you can use the "Send to" feature in PowerPoint to send the presentation to MS-Word. The only thing I don't like about this is that I can no longer identify where one slide stops and the next begins. So depending on what you are trying to accomplish, this may or may not work for you. HTH Let me know if you need more info.

I'd also like to be able to read all the slides at once. I've looked at the JAWS contextual help and talked to two Techs at FS so far and haven't really got a handle on this yet. I also opened the presentation in MS Word, and while the text appeared, there was too much garbage included to make it practical. I can read individual slides with the JAWS cursor, but I can't seem to select the text the cursor is reading. Any suggestions?
