Hi,
As part of catdoc, there is a program called catppt which sometimes work
to give you the power point information.
It does not keep formatting and sutch, but at least, you can mostly get to
the info.
HTH, Willem

I of course am using speakup, but I also have got gnome and orca installed should it require using something like openoffice (should orca work with that part). I have asked the person who has said that they can give me this information in powerpoint format, whether they could convert it to another format, but I said I would make enquiries whether it would be possible for me to read powerpoint format.
