Krishnakant,

How do you deal with images and graphs?  Do you ever include that sort of
thing in your presentation?  Screenshots, for instance or flow charts?

Beammer is one tool I often used.
Basically it can generate PDF, which is inaccessible.
A few months back one person from CDAC India had given a nice script which
makes perfect use of PDFtoHTML which I use to convert the file in the latter
format.
This gives me a perfect presentation to use.
This is 3 step process, out of which one step can be removed out right using
gedit's LaTeX plugin.
In fact some times, I directly use the pdf file itself which looks
absolutely professional.  In that case I keep the slide number and points in
mind.  Afterall YOu don't want to repeat your points (people are already
seeing that ), you want to talk about the topic in context of those points.
So these are the 2 approaches I always take.
There is a third one.  I have an html template which some javascript.  
Fill in your presentation content in terms of bullets and you are done.
You hardly need 1 hour for the first time when you look at this template for
filling up the points.
Next time it need not require you to even know any t On 03/27/2013 07:48 PM,

This gives a perfectly professional presentation (browser in full screen
mode ).  Orca can read all the content on the slides.  Page up takes you to
previous slide and page down to the next one.

Note this will not need any javascript knowledge.  This is all pre
configured.  And just tag specific knowledge of html is required.
You only need to know <div> <h1> <h3> and <ul> tags.
Rest all is set for you.

If any one wants this template mail me off the list.  you will really love
it.So these are the 3 things you can do.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
