Reading order is shown in reverse, bottom to top. Click and drag or use the arrow buttons to change reading order.
Alternative Text Images should be given appropriate in PowerPoint. This Alt text is read by a screen reader in a PowerPoint file and should remain intact when exporting to HTML or PDF. Right-click on the image and choose Format Picture. Select the Size & Properties icon and choose Alt Text. Enter appropriate Alt text only in the Description field (not the Title field). Data Tables Accessible tables need a clear table structure and table headers to help guide a screen reader user.
To increase the view of a PowerPoint presentation, a large number of pictures are usually added to slides, which makes the entire PowerPoint file very large in size. Following is how to compress pictures in PowerPoint 2016 for Windows and Mac. Natively, the Mac PowerPoint will not embed fonts into presentation files. Nor will it display fonts that were embedded using PowerPoint for Windows. The Mac, however, without going into statistics and annual shifts, is often recognized as the computer platform of choice for designers, and the absence.
Select the Insert tab on the ribbon, then select Table Insert Table. Keep tables simple. There is no way to add table header information in a way that will be identified by a screen reader. If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro (not just the free Reader), save your presentation to PDF and add table headers in Acrobat Pro.
Hyperlinks PowerPoint automatically creates a hyperlink when a user pastes a full URL onto a slide and presses Enter or Space. These may not make sense to screen reader users or others, so make the link text descriptive. Select a hyperlink, right click, and select Edit Hyperlink or hit ⌘ + k. Change the text in the Text to Display field to a more meaningful description.
Accessibility Checker. Select File Info. Select the Review tab and choose Check Accessibility. The Accessibility Checker task pane will show accessibility errors, warnings, and tips on how to repair the errors. Select specific issues to see Additional Information at the bottom of the pane.
Other Principles. Ensure font size is sufficient. If your presentation will be viewed on a projector, font size may need to be even larger. Provide sufficient contrast. If your presentation will be viewed on a projector, sometimes the contrast needs to be even more pronounced.
Do not use color as the only way to convey meaning. Avoid automatic slide transitions.
Use simple slide transitions when possible. Do not put accessibility information like alternative text in the Notes pane. If you have embedded video, ensure it is captioned. If you have embedded audio, include a transcript. If your slides contain animations, ensure they are brief and do not distract from the most important content on the page. Use simple language.

Manga kid, Great tool for schooling I started using MS office apps on my iPad at the start of the spring semester; especially PowerPoint.
When it comes to school, my iPad has become just as productive, even more convenient to use than my MacBook. It is such a joy to be able to use the professors presentation and be able to highlight and jot simple notes within the PowerPoint slides to go back and focus on the important things to study. I no longer need to take notes on paper because all the notes are on the slides.
It saves me the hassle of carrying around a heavy laptop and keeping countless notes and packet papers organized and crumble free. I wish I began doing all this cloud based work when I started college. It would’ve made things a lot easier when it came to studies. But from now on, I will be. It is a plus to finally use my iPad more often in a more productive way.

KatWalk65, Needs overhaul Working on my phone is mandatory as that's often when I can focus on a project and so the cumbersome interface on the iPhone 7 is so frustrating - and why can't Microsoft just acknowledge other platforms and make it easier to migrate. I am not a fan of Google slides and google often abandons their initiatives so I would prefer to transfer other team members' drafts in any format into the PPT APP so I can work on a presentation only needing laptop to finalize. It's not at all fluid as you write slides - and add data.
Too much time re-formatting rigid design templates so they don't appear generic and actually look like other presentations! Follow more of the process of sway but with animation ability. Make import easy, then modification tools available in the live design - rather than the back and forth, adjustment, can't see, lose work, awful screen interactivity, ugly font with wrong color palette - but had to choose from limited selection of styles. LinkedIn slide share provides more visual variety and having to download multiple apps that chew up limited iPhone space is just annoying. Microsoft needs to treat ppt like it did the surface - get it to work with 3-D printers, interface with my Xbox X with game designer tools I can use to illustrate a story or give vision to a pitch.
I'd be glad to be hired for 6 months to fix your creative workflow.

Deezey311, New update is not an improvement The new update is a huge down grade. You now get glittery pens - but functionality has been lost. I used to be able to shrink the size of the powerpoint slides and type in the note section along side - which was carried throughout the powerpoint file.
Now every time I switch a slide, it is MAXIMIZED to the largest size possible - and I have to re-shrink it down again and again. Even worse, the slide can no longer be moved to the side to accommodate the note space so that you can view the slide and notes fully and simultaneously side-by-side. Not only that, but every time I minimize the application to jump on safari powerpoint restarts completely, and I lose my place in the slides.
These complaints may not seem like a huge deal, but for someone who is in PA school and sits through 6 hour lectures, these are huge disappointments and annoyances. I’ve used powerpoint since I began college 6 years ago, but I will be using another app if these problems aren’t fixed soon.
