Hi Lisa,

For Powerpoint accessibility, the main thing is to make sure all the
critical items are contained in the Outline. I'm not sure how this
affects PDF conversion. For exporting to Word or HTML, though, only
objects contained in the Outline make it through the export process.

Perhaps overkill for one set of slides, but for the long term it's
worth checking out the LecShare tool:

Also the Accessible Wizard for MS Office:

HTH!
