About the same level of access of PowerPoint on iOS and about the same as
PowerPoint on the Mac unless you purchase Keynote.

Hi Jeff,

In this case I wanted to keep the presentation in PowerPoint. I will later
make the PP into a PDF-but at least this way I know it will be accessible
to start with (or as accessible as possible).

Cheers

Lisa
