I have commenced using Powerpoint a few weeks ago but I am experiencing
significant difficulties. I am using JFW 3.3.022 in a Windows
98/Office97environment.
Reading complex Powerpoint presentations remain very difficult and sometimes
impracticable. The main obstacles are the following:
1. When reading a slide, whether using the CTR+INSERT+DOWN ARROW or the TAB
key, JFW will often read shapes in a random order. This indeed renders the
understanding of certain slides practically impossible since there is no
logical order in which the various shapes and objects of the slide are read
by JFW. I have noted that converting the presentation to html format in
order to read the slide with IE does not solve this logical ordering problem
.
2. Reading and editing the text of of shapes is often very difficult and
sometimes impracticable. Typically, I would type ENTER when on the shape
containing the text to be edited but once I have typed ENTER JFW tends to
read the text in a random fashion. It seems that JFW adds text which is not
appearing in the selected shape or does not read all the text or does not
recognize columns. This problem makes it very difficult to either carefully
read the text of a sshape to extract specific information or to actually
edit a slide.
3. JFW cannot read shapes or objects that are grouped. I have to each time
proceed through the menues to ungroup them.
I would greatly appreciate having imput and finding out whether others are
using Powerpoint with more success than me.
