Hi,
I do happen to know that IF it's created accessibly (which isn't always
easy), a powerpoint can work on a Mac, as I've recently heard an okay
demo with VO on a mathy powerpoint. It seems to even read the equations
from the equation editor (unless that was alt text I was hearing).

However it's apparently really easy to make inaccessible PP's so it
wouldn't surprise me. But I wanted you to know that it should be
possible if someone's able to change these docs. I'm not sure about Word
but I would *think* it could also be made okay.

cheers,
Mallory
