Well, the last time I used PowerPoint JAWS did not read anything more than the title of the slide when in the presentation. Maybe it has improved and someone else on this list can advise you. If you are only hearing the title then you need to ask for the file with the individual slides, not the final presentation. If you do not want to get involved with navigating the individual slides, then ask for the PowerPoint to be converted to Word.
