Subject: [VICUG-L] PowerPoint and jaws
Does anyone know how I can get some help on reading slides? I'm using the
jaws help topic and doing what it says, but I don't see it helping. It isn't
doing what it says it will do. I'm using vista 64-bit, jaws 11 with latest
update, and PowerPoint 2007. I looked in the office tutorials suite I have,
but don't see anything in the folder. Is it in one of those documents?
Thank you so much!
Jenn
