Description

When entering Microsoft Powerpoint and choose a blank presentation, Nvda doesn't say anything but the menus when I press the Alt keys. Nvda doesn't read the buttons on the window, so I can't: insert an image, for example. If I open an existing presentation, Nvda doesn't read it; I can't see it. Conclusion: Nvda is not accessible in Microsoft Powerpoint.

I imagine, ideally, it might require a person with some sight to help develop this as it is inherently a visual piece of software.

Its part of Office I've steered clear of as it seems to me that there is now way a blind person is going to be able to create the sort of graphics I understand is possible with this program.

Maybe there are other presentation packages around more suited to us?

However there does seem to be a constantstream of requests for this to be at least accessible for textual use.
