Re: [JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting
Thank you Greg for this information. I sent a message just prior to this one that may give more of an explanation to some, puzzle and confuse others like myself. - Original Message - From: Greg gwblindm...@gwblindman.org To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 6:46 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting Hello Josh, I think what is happening is that there are alot of graphics in your PPT. What the outline does is just put all the text from the ppt into a document. It does not put the graphics there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting
Thank you for your response to this problem. The instructor did send a copy that she cut and pasted into a word document. However, each line I would scroll down I got the following message: Microsoft Office Word Word was unable to write some of the embedded objects due to insufficient memory or disk space. This seemed a little strange to me because I am using Windows XP Pro with the following specs: 2.97 GB of RAM and 73.37 GB of Free Space on my Hard Drive. If you take and copy the entire document into another word document then you do not get this message with every line you scroll down. Why would I get this message in the first place. The document or Powerpoint in question I believe is 1.65 MB. Thanks for the help. - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney, Dolphin Press braill...@hawaii.rr.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 11:48 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Further Problems With PPT format and Converting Hi Josh, I fear that you have some graphics in that document. It may be that the graphics are not pertinent to the information, but it's hard to know. We use the same instructions here at Dolphin Press, but if we have such things as graphs we have to input the information.
