Re: [orca-list] Accessible presentation software

[Rafael Bejarano <bejarar sbcglobal net>]

Hi Rich,

Thanks for welcoming me to the list and for responding to my question.

I think the way truly to know whether or not the presentation APP in

suggest that there is hope. I'll apprise the list of what I find.

Cordially,
Rafael Bejarano
