[Athen] [EXT] Fusion and PowerPoint question

[smarositz at ccctechcenter.org]

Hello Shannon

 

An other option is to either export or save the PowerPoint as an outline if
there are no images on the slides. I prefer to save because the hierarchy is
preserved with the levels of the headings. The file can then be opened in
word.

 

I hope this helps

I generally put it into slide show mode and read each slide, then advance
using the spacebar.

 

Another alternative is to save the PPT as a PDF. Each slide will be on a
separate page. Of course, you do need to make sure the settings are correct
in PowerPoint to make this accessible. Do not use the print to PDF option as
it will not be accessible. Use the save as option and change the file type
to PDF.

 

Let me know if you need more details on this.

Good morning!

 

I am working with an individual who is using Fusion, who tends to use more
of the JAWS features and hotkeys.  They would like to know if there is a way
to have Fusion read aloud straight through all the content in a PowerPoint
slide (assuming it is an accessible PPT).  Do you have any suggestions on
how to do this?

 

Thank you, all!

 

Shannon
