In trying to describe in a presentation the work cycle for my program and
what was accomplished in the past year, I started with entering brief
snippets as bullet points in PowerPoint. I don't need something whiz bang,
but I have to find a more attractive and interest model than slide after
slide of bullet points. Does anyone have a template I should look at for an
idea? Thanks, Bob

adorable bob,

Pictures go a long way to making a presentation less boring.

Also, sometimes too many whizz bang effects can become tiring to the
audience as they wait for the text to appear.

There are some examples of what you can achieve with a little knowledge at:

But I would not advise doing that for every slide.

I really like the presentation tips here

What TAJ said and keep in mind that pictures go a long way particlarly
when they are relevant pictures (a graph of sales, a picture of the
building you built, a picture of smiling kids from the orphanage you
saved, ...). They go a much shorter way when they are there just to add
flash.

Hey bob

I do a training presentation called 'powerpoint as a visual aid' - I'll send
it to you if you like. It may not make absolute sense as there is normally a
presenter, but you may get a few ideas. Post back with an e-mail address if
you are interested.
