KEY POINTS Analysis features

 PowerPoint is regarded as the most useful, accessible

way to create and present visual aids; others believe it
has its own mind-set which forces presenters to spend
countless hours thinking in PowerPoint and
developing slides.
 Advantage—easy to create colorful, attractive designs
using the standard templates and themes; easy to modify
compared to other visual aids, such as charts, and easy to
drag and drop slides to re-order presentation.

 Advantage—easy to present and maintain eye contact

with a large audience by simply advancing the slides
with a keystroke, eliminating the need for handouts to
follow the message.
 Disadvantage—speakers create slides so they have
something to present rather than outlining, organizing,
and focusing on their message.

 Disadvantage—the linear nature of PowerPoint slides

forces the presenter to reduce complex subjects to a set
of bullet items which are too weak to support decision-
making or show the complexity of an issue.
 Disadvantage—basic equipment required to present. You
will need to have a computer and projection equipment
in place to display the slides to the audience.
