Powerpoint. I thought I'd pass on the below, which I found today.

Using PowerPoint with JAWS or NVDA
PowerPoint is arranged in a set of Panes, somewhat like a set of window
panes making a window.
Depending which Pane you are in, you can perform different actions. Begin by
learning how to navigate the
Panes.
Navigating the Panes
F6: Switch between panes:
list of 5 items
.
Slide thumbnails TAB
.

.

list end
F5: Play the Slideshow from the beginning
SPACE: Go to next slide
BACKSPACE: Go to previous slide
Adding text in the Slide area
