I am not sure about that one! I usually save my ppt as an outline which is
RTF format. I was thinking, is you office a real version or a shadowed copy
for a school or office which actually is not the whole office sweet? It is
like microsoft works or something because I had that problem when I had my
computer for school. They did not give us real office sweets. I had to ask
them to put MSoffice on my computer. Heather ----- Original Message -----

.RTFExtension?
I did see the conversion for .RTF, but for some reason or another and not
just with the powerpoints but with any document; I try and save it in a
.RTF format and it refuses to take the extension. If I could get the
extension and format to take then I would try that. Do you or anyone else
have any clues as to why the .RTF file extension will not take?

I remember you used to be able to turn PPT to RTF. I have not done it in
a while so not sure if it has changed. Heather

What we have been doing and it is on my accomodation plan is the
instructors have been having to convert the Powerpoint into a readable
format. My Spanish instructor last semester I believe saved the
Powerpoints going through the save as option into an outline format
which was readable in a word document. I am not quite sure how he
accomplished this, but I had no problems with that format and no other
assistive tools were necessary. I do not have Kerswell or anything of
that nature.

Good evening. I am a student as well, and use PPT's on a routine
basis.
You have several options; the best option is to scan it using either
Kurzweil or Open Book. If you don't have either of those programs, I
suggest you have the school help you obtain one. There are cheaper
options,
from companies such as Nuance, that will allow you to take a PPT file
and
turn it into a Word file, say, which you can then read. It will do
this,
maintaining all the layout and graphical information.
I can help with steps in any or all of these solutions, please let me
know
what options are available to you.
Warmly,
Melissa
P.S. It will be important to find a working solution for this issue,
as you
will encounter power points almost every day.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] CONVERTING PPT TO A READABLE FORMAT
Friends,
I am currently back in school and have encountered a problem with a
powerpoint. This Powerpoint is not being recognized by Jaws and I
cannot
figure out how to convert it, if there is a way to convert it. If
anyone
knows how to convert Powerpoints into a format that Jaws will read can
you
please assist? The assistance will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If the conversion steps will need sighted assistance please
indicate.
My instructor is willing to convert it, but she is not certain as to
how to
go about the conversion either. Thanks For answers to frequently asked
