<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">Hi Everyone:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">I sent this to Howard who suggested that I should share this with the list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">Note to Karen S: Thank you for letting me know that the Outline view is often accessed in PowerPoint instead of the normal slide layout view. Makes sense
and another reason to use the Text and Content placeholders on slides as they will always appear in the Outline view.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">The problem with using Text Boxes arises when the slides are sent as a slide show or need to be put into Braille or large print and we use the Outline
view to do this because it is faster….if we create the slides correctly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">You will spend as much time copying and pasting the content to the background as you will copying and pasting them into the Outline version of the presentation.
(F12, Save as Outline)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">What I am doing as a best practice is to create the Word document (Outline) at the same time I am remediating the slides for accessibility. This gives
me both versions of the presentation at the time of the presentation and clients can archive both versions. It also saves them work because most don’t understand how to set up a well-structured Word document for Braille or large print.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">You Save the presentation as an Outline, remove the formatting in the Word document/RTF (Ctrl + A then Alt + H, E to erase formatting), add the correct
structure in Word using Styles, then begin remediating the horrid content/layout on slides using the Word document as a sandbox/final resting place for complete content. When you are finished, you have two accessible documents…well, the PowerPoint may not
be able to be fully accessible due to its format type, you have the Word outline document to support it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">Since I have to copy the information out of horribly created text box-based slides anyway, might as well put it to good use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">My first “option” if these are your slides, is to use a default text or content placeholder, remove the bullets and numbering and then resize it for what
you want. This is easy to do and I would even suggest creating a slide layout of one or two of these so you can access them easily from the Home Ribbon, Insert Slide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">There is a document on the Karlen Communications website on Adding Accessible Placeholders to PowerPoint:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><a href="http://www.karlencommunications.com/handouts.html">http://www.karlencommunications.com/handouts.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Cambria",serif;color:#1F4E79">I’ve just added a sample no design PowerPoint presentation with some custom slide layouts that you can copy into existing presentations and use. I wasn’t
sure if I could attach it to this post. The document is called Accessible Slide Templates and is on the Handouts page as well. I tested it and keep getting an error message when I choose to open the file…eventually it goes away if you click OK a few times…maybe
try saving it instead of opening it. Am working on a solution. Let me know if you have problems and I’ll send it to you directly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
