Could you send me a sample and I will see if I can get the text box to read and I also need an example for a presentation

I can't speak to Powerpoint, but I have found text in textboxes to be inaccessible in Word 2010 using JAWS 12, unless I'm just not doing something correctly.

Is the text in text boxes in PowerPoint presentations screen reader accessible? If not, how are they different than any other text?
