Lisa,

Powerpoint is accessible with Jaws and NVDA. Freedom Scientific had a 
great tutorial on how to create, edit, and show a presentation, but I'm 
not finding it any more.

Anyway, here's how you create a presentation with PowerPoint 2013. I've 
done it in other version, and the process is very similar, but I don't 
remember the differences.

you press ctrl+n to start a new presentation. Then you go into the 
Insert menu to create a new slide, and you tab to the title and Object 
fields to enter
text, pressing escape to exit one edit field before moving to the next. 
When you're ready, you go back into the Insert menu to create another 
slide, and so on.

When you go into Insert to create a new slide, you can choose the type 
of slide you want. Title slides have two lines: one for the title and 
another for the subtitle or tag. For most slides, you want the item that 
says something like "title and object;" that let's you create a 
bulletted list in the object field. For a bulleted list, just press 
enter at the end of the line; the bullet is inserted automatically.


If you need to delete a slide or cut and paste to move a slide to a 
different place in the slide show, use F6 to move to a list of the 
slides (you just hear the titles), and hit delete or ctrl+c, etc from there.

to actually show your slides to an audience, press F5 to toggle into and 
out of slideshow mode. Press space or backspace to move to the next or 
previous slide. You can arrow around inside the slide when you're in 
slideshow mode.

I think that's it.

Ciao
