Microsoft Powerpoint gets a bad rap because of the “presentations”
that some people create with it. The use
of tired and overworked templates, the Smorgasbord of fonts, the rainbow of text colours
and the blinding animations with every slide advance make many presentations
look awful. All this gives legs to Guy
Kawasaki’s famous Presentation Zen introduction Zen that stated that 95% of
presentations suck.
But don’t blame poor Powerpoint, it’s just a tool. It’s like blaming the hammer that I used that
time I tried unsuccessfully to finish my basement—it *may* not have been the
hammer but more the hammer swinger (me!).
In our latest video tutorial we explore how to use
animations in a presentation in a professional manner. The tutorial shows how to add and manipulate
the fade, shrink and slide animations without distracting from the content or
message.
