Accessible PowerPoint: Reading Order

Selection Pane and Reading Order are 2 different ways to order your content. If you are using a Mac, you will only have access to the Selection Pane option. If you are using a Windows machine, there is an option for Reading Order. With Reading Order, the objects on the slide will appear in sequential, top to bottom order which is different than the Selection Pane.
With the presentation open, select the "Home" ribbon, click "Arrange" and choose "Selection Pane." This Selection Pane shows all the objects on a slide and the order they will be read in by a screen reader. Pay close attention and remember that in PowerPoint objects are read by a screen reader beginning with the bottom list item first and the first list item last. Correct any out of place items by clicking and dragging them to their correct reading order spot.
