[community] Question on links in PPTs.

[David Best]

David, I confirm your test results. I have had numerous discussions with the 
Microsoft accessibility team over the past year, regarding PowerPoint and 
SharePoint screen reader concerns, and have not yet had a satisfactory conclusion. 
It is a shame that so many people have to spend so much time and effort to prove 
an accessibility issue, when it could easily be identified by the Microsoft 
quality assurance testing group. So, like many things, we will have to find a 
workaround until such time a resolution is implemented. In the meantime, check out 
the Microsoft accessibility forum:
Microsoft Accessibility Feedback: Hot (703 ideas) - Customer Feedback for 
Microsoft Accessibility

Hi Pina,

We've done extensive testing that confirms this weakness in every screen reader 
we've tried.

I've been in correspondence with both Microsoft and JAWS support on this.

JAWS support says its due to a bug at Microsoft's end.

Microsoft does not provide a satisfying response.
