I've been through the jaws help for power point with office 07, and I've tried the keyboard commands with little success.

I was hoping someone might have a straight-forward answer on how to read powerpoints with jaws. I hate saving them as an rtf outline, because the document is very spammy and difficult to read; I'd rather read the powerpoint itself. Has anyone been able to manage it?

Push f5 in Powerpoint, that start the slide show. Then the reader should read it as a document in its virtual buffers or whatever. Then you can start using the slide show commands like space to move forward, backspace to go backwards, and I imagine pretty much any reader out there would keep up, probably by refreshing its buffers.
That way is the simplest to read it because you're viewing the slide show presentation.
