Proving Your Point To Both Sides of the Brain
Making the Point • Some people type every word they are going to say on a slide in a PowerPoint presentation. While words can be very powerful and effective too many of them on one page can cause distraction and an occasional yawn or two. Regardless of the content the audience will lose interest when having to stare at slide after slide of text. It is better not to have a PowerPoint presentation at all if the audience is expected to follow word after word of text being read to them. So why not appeal to both sides of the brain? A great way to keep an audience engaged and stimulated may be just a few words and added graphics to bring the point home. Office 2010 PowerPoint has the capacity to bring a PowerPoint to life. life. life. life. life. life. life. life. life.
