I'd be interested in any tips re either Powerpoint or Corel Presentations.
We are using our educaitonal shows to create Web shows too, though
possibly not the best or most accessible format it is a quick way to
publish your information and show it platform-indepedently if you need to.
It looks like Microsoft's product automatically builds in some text access
to each slide (you'd still have to add alt-text for a picture-only slide).
Corel's product has a better Outline View selected from the View menu, it
easily accepts plain text with copy-and- paste (you can put tab stops in
in advance if you want to get it at the right levels on the slides isntead
of adjusting later.)  There is a view like it in Powerpoint, some versions
at least...maybe that will help- but it won't take the copy and paste-in
as well, you have to use an Insert menu feature if I recall correctly.
Would that help any??
