<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks, Paul. Karen also let me know that in a private email. What baffles me is the fact that JAWS was reading a couple of slides in almost perfect order, despite the reading order in the Selection Pane being
completely different (and not just backwards of what I would have expected). <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, all. I’m attempting to retrofit a PPT presentation created by a colleague who, until recently, was unfamiliar with accessibility needs. This particular presentation has been a work in progress for many years and across many
versions of PPT. One slide in particular has a lot of separate text elements that need to be read in order to make sense; when listening to it initially with JAWS, just a couple of items were read out of order so I attempted to clean that up (am in Office
2010 for Windows); according to Microsoft’s help site I should fix the reading order using Arrange>Selection Pane. When I viewed the reading order it was NOTHING like what I was hearing with JAWS – it looked completely random, despite the fact that JAWS was
doing a pretty good job with the page. Well, I “fixed” the reading order in Selection Pane and now the slide is read as complete gibberish by JAWS – nothing is in order. Yes, I still have a copy of the original file and can go back, or I can re-create the
slide from scratch, but does anyone have a suggestion for how to reliably repair reading order in PPT slides?
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your ideas,<o:p></o:p></p>
