[Athen] Window Eyes and PowerPoint

[Pratik Patel]

I'm happy to report that Window-Eyes 6.1 works better than JAWS with
Powerpoint 2003 and 2007.

Norm,

I just asked a friend who uses Window-Eyes and JAWS both.  He says with
Window-Eyes 6.1, PowerPoint does very well.  Now that's good news.

Does anyone know whether or not the Windows Eyes screen reader is able to 
read the slides in a PowerPoint presentation.  I ask about every year or 
so, and the last I had heard was that it still did not function in
PowerPoint.

I don't want to report that fact only to find out that it actually is not a 
fact any longer.
