Reading Order in PowerPoint
Making sure the reading order in your PowerPoint presentation is correct means it's easier to understand for people using a screen reader. If your reading order is labeled incorrectly, your clientele will be experiencing your content in the wrong order. That's pretty confusing!
This feature will be flagged by the Microsoft Accessibility Checker, and is a pretty quick and easy fix.
