1. Quick Tips • Located at www.k-state.edu/dss/k-access • Many questions concern PDFs, PPT, & Word • 2003 vs. 2007, Mac vs. PC : FOUR OFFICES!
1.a Using PDF to add real text • Quick Tip Handout • Lets open a PDF and take a look ourselves! • Accessibility Check • Highlight text • Accessibility Check – two Acrobat tools • Advanced>Accessibility>Quick Check or Full Check

1.b PowerPoint- Examples and Fixes • Lets digress…
Three areas of the PowerPoint workspace • Outline/ Slides panel • Notes panel • Slide Layout 2003 • Format > Slide Layout • This will appear differently for 2007
This uses the template • The text shows up on the outline
I added a text box below • This is the third item on the slide The text shown here does not show up on the outline? Added objects, like this text box, are not our friends
List 1 Ford Mazda Toyota AMC Dodge List 2 John Deere International Massey Ferguson Ford Case This is a slide with two lists

This is another way to add a graphic • Graphic of K-State desktop. This text is invisible
We need to add some notes • Wild Cat / Bob Cat
Captions Transcript Word for word? Meaning for meaning Get the point across Video
Lets take a look at exporting • Saving as a txt file will save text listed in the outline (File>Save As>Save as Type>Outline/RTF) • Sending it to a Word doc will save as a mix of text and graphics but it will also containing notes. (File>Send to>Microsoft Word) • Mixing the two is the best of all!
1.c Styles and Alternative Text in Word • Styles can be added to ANY document and it is often easy to do. • Alternative text is just as easy! Rules: • Clear and concise • Purpose of picture/ graphic • Meaning or details picture / graphic • Office 2007 is just a little different.
