Please attach the powerpoint file you are trying to read.
Also, please answer the following:

• What operating system? (include service pack if any, 64 or 32 bit)
• Version of Powerpoint? (Include service pack if any, 64 or 32 bit)
• Exact snapshot version of NVDA
• Are you running NVDA as a portable copy, or is it installed?
• What interface language is NVDA set to?

Please also set your NVDA log level to input/output (in General Settings under Preferences in the NVDA menu), and open the file in Powerpoint. Try arrowing through the slides, tabbing between the slide shapes. Press f5 to run the slide show. Press space to move through the slides.

Finally, attach NVDA's log file to this ticket also.

If you need help with any of these tasks please let me know.

Technical info:
My first guess is that we are unable to register for application events.

This pptx file is protected. Currently NVDA cannot interact very well with files in Powerpoint 2010 while in Protected view. As it seems that this document is not password protected, you can go to File -> Info -> Enable editing and then you should be able to move around the file.
You may need to save the file and re-open it after enabling editing.
Changes:
Changed title from "better powerpoint support" to "Support Interacting with PowerPoint Presentations in protected view"

When in a presentation, You need to go to the ribon with alt, choose file, info, enable editing.
A quick way to do this is to press the keys (one after another):
alt, f, i, e.
