Re: [orca-list] Reading powerpoint presentations

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Thank you for the suggestion of ppthtml, someone else has suggested it
on another mailing list. The fact that it is in the debian repos doesn't
help me now as I have found slacky (a gnome distro for slackware), so
gone back to slackware which was where I started using Linux (and I have
to say is my favourite distro, except for the fact it doesn't come with
gnome by default). I will have to find ppthtml online myself, sure
google will be a friend here.

On another list someone has suggested that Orca should be able to use
open office impress, how well does Orca work with that?
