    Digital Accessibility Tip: Meaningful Reading Order in PowerPoint

    PowerPoint reads slide objects such as text boxes and images in the order they were added, not their visual layout, so screen readers may jump around illogically when reading to a user. To inspect reading order, go to Review > Check Accessibility > Reading Order Pane to display all objects and reorder them logically. Office Hours.
