No previous message | Next message →

Hi,
For screen reader users: I've always used Slideshow when attempting to review PowerPoint presentations for accessibility, and even when just reading presentations. Is that normal, and if so, where can I find documentation about this?

Thanks.

Jim

This article discusses some of the view options
