If you've pasted or inserted images or objects on a slide that are NOT in a
Content placeholder, they will be flagged by the Accessibility Checker as
needing manual review of the logical reading order. You cannot remove them
from the Accessibility Checker once you've reviewed the logical reading
order. We don't have that ability yet.
You can use the keyboard to place content in a Content placeholder by
pressing Enter in the Content placeholder and then accessing what you need
from the Insert Ribbon. If you have text and an image on a slide, use the
Two Content slide layout - Alt + H, letter I then find Two Content.

I have flagged this deficiency with Microsoft as a need to mark individual
slides as having passed a logical reading order review but it would help if
other would flag it as well.

PubCom.com has a page where you can identify things that you want related to
accessibility.
