Hi,
I need to open some PowerPoint slides that were sent to me in an email. They display on my screen fine. But I can't read them. How do you open and read a PowerPoint slide with Jaws 12? There's a lot of info on these, and I need it for my internship training.
Thanks.

if you have PowerPoint running, press f5 to start the slide show, what you are thinking of as opening it, and then press space bar to advance and backspace to go back. They are keystrokes in Powerpoint itself and reader software typically makes a virtual buffer type environment with the slide content and descriptions in it.
