First, accept what PowerPoint is not (i.e., design a presentation to provide visual support, not to duplicate spoken content and to serve as a handout). 2. Say the words. Show the pictures. 3. Design outside the white box. 4. Use style to convey substance (e.g., your organizational identity) and structure (to help audience members visually track progress through long or complex presentations). 5. Use animation to control the flow of information and convey meaning. 6. Unify elements to create a visual hierarchy. 7. Discover the little miracles: The B key allows you to black out the screen (returning audience attention to the presenter); typing the number of a slide followed by ENTER allows you to access any slide at any time. pg. 77
