One possible route might be to ask for the PowerPoint to be exported as PDF for you. Whether Microsoft's PDF export utility makes particularly accessible is another matter, but there are PDF to text tools around for Linux. It's not exactly a perfect solution, but it may get you going. Regards, Bob.

I of course am using speakup, but I also have got gnome and orca installed should it require using something like openoffice (should orca work with that part). I have asked the person who has said that they can give me this information in powerpoint format, whether they could convert it to another format, but I said I would make enquiries whether it would be possible for me to read powerpoint format. > > From > Michael Whapples > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
