I am developing a screen access software for the visually impaired. One of
the functionalities I am trying to include is to enable a blind user to
edit
in Powerpoint, either in outline view or in slides.

Can anybody please give me some clues on how to extract the text
(character,
line, sentence, etc.) to the right of the insertion point?

In MS Word, I can extract characters, lines, etc. to the right of the
insertion point with pre-defined bookmarks or by referencing the Selection
object. In Powerpoint, however, there don't seem to be any pre-defined
bookmarks and the Selection object does not correspond to the insertion
point.

May I have clues from you guys please?
