This is a great post day-in-day life, of course, is a matter of debate. As to conflict, pursing fairness and generosity I would determine a receptive approach to life. I take a half of prescription every day, do not attempt to control sounds something like correct etiquette within a framework does, or I just decided to show courage and accept guidance for, struggling no matter what form it will take.
The least you know it is that one must be absolutely clueless about faith to have it. This is because faith does not promote a system of dogma and in some cases moral code. dis-destitute tile to why this post is such a great post toward nature and its avoidance of life-affirming cases.
As far as I see it were set to take words as our own master. It’s with words cultures understand each other. This is prevalent where every you go; I wouldn’t use the word God to a group of people who didn’t know who that was. So, in this encased implication implemented reqiures a lot of the life it takes to recall or rethink.

PowerPoint—Advantage or Disadvantage for the Presenter?
PowerPoint is the most popular presentation software. It is regarded by many as the most useful and accessible way to create and present visual aids to the audience.
On the other hand, others believe it has created its own mind-set which forces presenters to spend countless hours thinking in PowerPoint and developing slides. A political party has even formed to ban PowerPoint in Switzerland. Depending on one’s perspective it seems that many advantages could easily be viewed as a disadvantage.
Look over the list below to see where you stand—with or against PowerPoint.
Simple bullet points: it can reduce complicated messages to simple bullet points. Bullet points are a good basis for the presentation and remind the speaker of main points and the organization of the message.
Easy to create a colorful, attractive design: using the standard templates and themes, even if you do not have much knowledge of basic graphic design principles (Figure 16.15).
Easy to modify: when compared to other visual aids such as charts, posters, or objects, it is easy to modify.
Easily re-order presentation: with a simple drag and drop or using key strokes, you can move slides to re-order the presentation.
Finally, PowerPoint is integrated with other products that allow you to include parts of documents, spread sheets, and graphics.
Advantages – Delivery
Audience Size: PowerPoint slides are generally easier to see by a large audience when projected than other visual aids.
Easy to present: you can easily advance the slides in the presentation one after another with a simple key stroke while still maintaining eye contact with the audience.
No need for Handouts: they look good visually and can be easily read if you have a projector and screen that is large enough for the entire room.
Disadvantages – Design
Design power pointless: gives the illusion of content and coherence, when in fact there is really not much substance or connection between the different points on the slides.
PowerPoint excess: some speakers create presentations so they have slides to present rather than outlining, organizing, and focusing on the message.
PowerPoint is a presentation software program (Figure 16.16). A presentation program (also called a presentation graphics program) is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show. It typically includes three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images, and a slide-show system to display the content.
Microsoft PowerPoint 9 (Figure 16.17) is easy-to-use presentation software that runs on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS operating systems. PowerPoint is commonly used by business people and students to create slide show presentations. The ease of use is demonstrated by the fact that the program can be used by junior high and high school students. PowerPoint can accommodate a range of uses, with intermediate to more technical options. Microsoft ¨C9Cestimates that thirty million presentations are made each day using the PowerPoint program. As of 2012, various versions of PowerPoint claim approximately 95% of the presentation software market share, having been installed on at least 1 billion computers.
PowerPoint has almost become a generic term similar to Xerox or Coke or Google and is often used when one is referring to any computer supported presentation, thus demonstrating how ubiquitous the program has become.
The Use of Slides in PowerPoint Presentations
PowerPoint presentations are comprised of a number of individual pages, or “slides.” The “slide” analogy is a reference to slide projectors. Unlike slide projectors however, which only projected static images, slides in PowerPoint are more dynamic. They can include text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which can be arranged by the presenter. The PowerPoint presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often projected using projection equipment. The slides can also be used as the basis for a webcast.
After designing the individual slides for your presentation, you can control the presentation by pre-programming the transitions from one slide to another with the exact timing you want. Or, you can advance the slides manually as you speak about each.
Supporters and Critics
Supporters of the software say the PowerPoint can save people time by circumventing the need for other types of visual aids, such as hand-drawn or mechanically typeset slides, blackboards, whiteboards, or overhead projections. Because the software is easy to use, it encourages people to give presentations that contain visual aids who otherwise may not have even given a presentation.
PowerPoint does have its critics, and the benefits of the software are continually debated. Some critics of PowerPoint argue that condensing complex issues into simplified bullet points is detrimental, and compromises the quality of information provided to the audience. This view finds that audience do not receive enough detailed information to make informed decisions about presentation topics. Additionally, there are also some critics who say that rather than providing too little information, PowerPoint allows users to put too much information into presentations. This can lead to “death by PowerPoint,” which is a state of bordem or fatigue as a result of sitting through a presentation that contains too much information.
¨C10CAs is clear from the debate about its merits, PowerPoint can present many benefits and challenges to a user who develops a slideshow to accompany a speech or presentation.

Elements of a Slide
PowerPoint is a multi-media platform that incorporates elements of written, audio, video, and graphical communication.
PowerPoint is a multi-media format that incorporates elements of written, oral, and visual communication. It also exerts unique demands in each one of these elements. This figure shows the elements used to create the slides for a presentation: Figure 16.18. The most recent version of PowerPoint 2013 runs with Windows 8 ¨C12COS, and Mac users will have a new version of PowerPoint in Office 2014.
The basic element of the presentation is the slide. The new default aspect ratio of the slide is 16:9 for wide screens, but the previous aspect of 4:3 is still available. Some basic example elements used to compose a slide are as follows:
Titles and sub-titles: After first opening PowerPoint to start a new presentation using the Blank Presentation Template, the user can select a title and sub-title for the presentation, using one of a variety of fonts and colors.
Text: Users can enter the content as bullets on the slide along with a title for the slide. They can also select the font style, size, and content to support their message.
Shapes: PowerPoint can merge two shapes together to create a custom shape.
Pictures: Users can search for and insert their own photographs. Remember to re-size the photo to fit the slide.
Charts/Graphs: Create custom charts or move relevant charts from Excel spreadsheets.
Audio/Video Clips: Download videos, images, and audio files directly into a slide for a presentation without first downloading to the computer. Search for audio and video from within PowerPoint to find images using Bing or Flickr and videos on You Tube. After locating the desired supporting media, incorporate it into the slide. By default, the results show images that are licensed under Creative Common, so the images can be used in presentations without violating an owner’s copyright, but users can also view all results.
Transitions: Transitions move the presentation gracefully from one slide to the next or build the side dynamically. There are many standard transitions available, or users can program their own special effects to animate the movement of the sides.

Formatting Tips
Formatting choices, including layout, font selection, transitions and use of space and color, are important components of a presentation.
¨C15CPowerPoint incorporates elements of written, oral, and visual communication. By focusing on decisions regarding blank space or color, contrast, and font, you can design a presentation that is not only aesthetically appealing, but also enhances and underscores key content and objectives. The following tips will help you and your audience get the most from your presentation.
Formatting the Slide
Templates: You may either select an existing template or design your own. The blank template allows you to modify colors, themes, and the style of different elements to best suit your needs.
Normal view – Blank Presentation template: The blank presentation template provides placeholders for title and sub-title on the first slide, and additional placeholders for the title on each blank slide. This allows you to distinguish your main points from sub-points. Follow basic design rules:
Use blank space to group or separate items (Figure 16.19).
Use visual balance to please the eye.
Create contrast to make objects stand out (Figure 16.20). Contrast occurs when any two elements are different.
Colors: Choose colors so that text is clearly legible (Figure 16.21). In addition, consider how the colors will look in the space where the slideshow will be presented. For example:
Strong light reduces contrast on dark background.
In a well-lit room, use light background with dark text and visuals.
In a dimly-lit room, use dark background with light text and visuals.
¨C16CAvoid vibrating colors. Bright complementary colors that are close to each other in intensity “vibrate,” or reduce legibility.
Adding Content
Text: Use text properly.
Use keywords and phrases instead of sentences.
Be consistent in your use of capitalization.
Put similar ideas in the same formatting by using the same parts of speech, same clauses, phrases, or all complete sentences.
Use bullet points. Bullets help the audience skim the slide and see relationships between main and sub-points. Here is how to use bullets:
Select the “bulleted list” or “two-column list” slide (from the pre-designed slide formats).
Type a phrase then hit “return.”
Type a second phrase, hit “return” then hit “tab” to indent.
OR use “promote” or “demote” arrows at top to create a bulleted hierarchy, in order to distinguish main claims from subclaims.
Fonts: Choose easy-to-read fonts.
Select fonts that are good for projecting, not ones that are just good for printing.
Pay attention to the legibility of the font you choose, such as the contrast between background and text, size of the font, and any type treatment such as shadowing that may reduce legibility.
Graphics: Insert needed visuals such as WordArt, shapes, or images. Make sure to re-size the images to best fit the slide. Here is how to re-size images:
Click on the visual you wish to resize.
Go to “format” and then “object” or “autoshape.”
Select “size.”
Change size and scale.
OR, simply click and drag the corners of the image.
You can also combine two different shapes by selecting one and then selecting and dragging another into it for a custom image.
¨C17CVideo and Audio: You can search and select video in different media formats. Just click to select the video/audio and insert where you want them to play on the slide. You can also record your own audio to add to a slide. When choosing video or audio to add to your presentation, make sure that it is of a high quality. This enhances the authority of the presenter as well as improves audience receptivity.
Moving Between Slides
Effects and transitions: PowerPoint comes with a preset collection of transitions. You can choose different types of transitions to move between slides. Newer versions of PowerPoint even have some 3D transitions. In addition, there are many free transition templates available from Microsoft and open sources.
Effects between slides: Effects should have a point and support the overall concept of the presentation. Avoid slow moving or fancy effects such as crawl in, swivel, and spiral. Don’t overuse special effects as they can distract your audience from your main points. To avoid this from happening, keep effects and transitions consistent.
After the Presentation
Handouts: You can export your PowerPoint presentation to a Word Document. When you do this, there are different choices available for how slides and notes are positioned. In the latest version of PowerPoint you can go to File—-> Export and then click on the {Create Handouts} button. Your presentation will then be exported to a Word document for formatting.
Share: You can also share your PowerPoint presentation by email, through web access. or publish your slides so that others can access them electronically rather than having to distribute handouts.

¨C19CDelivery Tips
PowerPoint presentation software is your assistant and should help you by supporting your presentation, not taking over the show.
¨C20C
PowerPoint Software Is Your Assistant
PowerPoint presentation software is your assistant and should help you, not take over the show. Nothing can substitute for a carefully prepared message, whether that message is a standard linear message or a relational interactive message. The delivery of the message is guided by the best practices that you have been using throughout your speeches; however, there are some special considerations when working with PowerPoint.
Practice and Rehearsal
After putting together a PowerPoint slide show, you will want to get a “reality check” by actually running the show to see what it will look like when you present it. You may control the movement from one slide to the next as you speak, or you may preprogram the amount of time that each slide appears on the screen and speak only for that amount of time.
If at all possible, rehearse with the same display equipment in a similar space. If you are speaking to a colocated audience, make sure that your projected slides are large enough for all members of the audience to see (usually about 1 inch high for each 10 feet that separates the audience from the projected slide). Additionally, if you are speaking to a remote audience, check your display so that ¨C21Cyou can see the presentation in the same way that the audience will see it on their screens.
Basic Delivery
One critical aspect of delivery is avoiding the temptation to read the content to the audience; the audience can read what is projected themselves. The content of the slides serves as a guide or outline for you and the audience. Stand to the left of the screen (Figure 16.22). For the English speaker who reads from left to right, the audience will see you as their eyes move across the screen in one continuous left to right eye movement. And remember to speak WITH the audience, not AT them (Figure 16.23). ¨C22C
Using Views
Using PowerPoint Views allows you to follow a linear path or relational interactive paths for delivery.
Slide Show View
You can use the Slide Show view to deliver your presentation. The slide occupies the full screen and displays the way your presentation will look when you project it. You can use the Slide Show view to see the slide show on your computer screen one slide at a time. You can move to the next slide by clicking the mouse or using the up and down arrow keys.
Presenter View
You can see your notes on your monitor while the audience only sees the slide. You can also zoom in on a particular part of the slide or use a pen or laser pointer to call attention to details. In Presenter view, you can display the current slide on the left side, the next slide on the right, and the notes at the bottom right of the screen.
Interactive Relational Delivery
Relational presentation (also known as visually interactive presentation) uses standard presentation software such as PowerPoint in a way that allows for dynamic customization of messages while presenting.
¨C23CRelational presentation practitioners structure their material using a combination of strategies to develop and access small message units. Each small message unit is rather self-contained and can be pulled together as the speaker interacts with the audience. While presenting, you interact with the audience rather than “talk at” them. You can use the Presenter view to quickly select and navigate to each message unit spontaneously within and between collections of interconnected shows. Some of these navigation devices use text links and others incorporate picture thumbnails or miniature screenshots as link sources.
Navigation in a Presentation
Whether you are delivering a traditional, linear message or an interactive, relational presentation, it is helpful to gain control of the basic movements for the slide show.
Move to the last slide: Drag the scroll box to the bottom of the scroll bar or press [Ctrl] and [End]
Move to the first slide: Drag the scroll box to the top of the scroll bar or press [Ctrl] and [Home]
Move to the next slide: Click in the scroll bar below the scroll box or press [Page Down]
Move to the previous slide: Click in the scroll bar above the scroll box or press [Page Up]
Move to a specific slide: Drag the scroll box up or down until you displays the slide you want
Delivery Wrap-Up
So to wrap it up, you should prepare your lecture before firing up your software. Remember that the technology is your assistant and should help you, not take over the show. You may creatively deliver a linear presentation, but you can also use PowerPoint to craft a highly interactive relationship experience with the audience.

¨C25COther Presentation Software Options
Microsoft PowerPoint dominates the presentation software market, but options including Mind Maps, SlideRocket, Prezi, and Impress are available.
Presentation software is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show. The software typically includes three major functions:
an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted;
a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images, and;
a slide-show system to display the content.
Microsoft PowerPoint dominates the market with 95% of the presentation software market share. However, there are other presentation graphic programs with different features and approaches. Some of the alternatives to PowerPoint include:
Mind Maps (Figure 16.24) You can use mind maps to plan and modify your presentation. Mind Maps break away from the linear format of PowerPoint by using graphic symbols to show connections between different ideas, allowing the presenter to show a top level map and then drill down ¨C26Cto show details for different connecting ideas. For presentation slides, you can start with a general, top level map and then create additional slides to drill down to the subtopics. You can summarize the sub points and then go back to the main, top-level mind map to show the connection to the whole.
SlideRocket is an online presentation platform that lets users create, manage, share and measure presentations. SlideRocket is provided via a monthly SaaS model or an annual subscription plan. You can also import your PowerPoint presentations or Google Presenter presentations into SlideRocket.
Users initially sign up for a free 14-day trial then decide which plan to subscribe to. Users can also use a free, basic version of the software. In addition, SlideRocket premiered the presentation resume with a variety of templates for users to promote themselves to different companies.
Prezi (Figure 16.25) is a free application which allows you to create visual presentations by zooming in, out and around your visual workspace.Instead of individual slides, these ZUI’s (zoom user interface) are based on one infinite canvas on which all content is presented. This allows for non-linear presentations, richer detail of content, and a better overview of complex visual messages.
Impress (Figure 16.26) is an Openoffice.org tool used to create presentations. Impress can handle both Microsoft’s PowerPoint format (ppt) as well as its own open document presentation format (odp).
Google Docs is now a part of Google Drive’s “software as a service” office suite. The free service includes it own presentation software that can be exported in open office format as well as Microsoft Office. Google Docs are automatically saved to a Google server, which prevents loss while also offering”anytime, anywhere” access.
¨C27CInternet based collaboration
Another option with all these different packages is internet based collaboration. Using this method, several people revise content or review the changes as they are made by others.

One love, I want to further illustrate the importance of idenity and communication to me. I understand communication to drive and act as a catalyst for diversifying pros. This in the context of being about me proves to me the necessary ambiguity and of course the “leader intensive” roles of communication. During my undergrad I had a chance further education for a blog, and one thing I remember is it told me that writing is intensive and requires communication. Amid it as it is to be when projected to describe communication as the corner stone for the better evolution. With this being said, I am communication as gorged is important and Techrepublic similar, states this by saying, maintaining regular and open communication smooths the flow of instructions. Sparking this conscious recedes from an early assessment or preparation to become a person. This in-part was presented by researching about writers and my understanding of compliance and leading as the “Leader”, but more importantly communication, because the essential progress is the indicator anything is being communicated. In ways communication needs to be received and understood. This proactive approach to communication ensures the success of the Communication in all talks. The relation an at many levels a great importance, because it inhibits the ability to address goals, objectives, and again flow. Rather the documented writing address aspects and topics: Keyed, results, quality reviews, etc. I am the plan, is the concern, which sets a reasonable expectation for speech in regards to project communication.
