RE: tips for short presentations

Hi Carla

Thank you very much for your question. You can find some very interesting ideas about PowerPoint presentations by visiting the site of Tom Peters. He has a section of PowerPoint tips at:
http://www.tompeters.com/dispatches/007806.php

Look for the presentation excellence link. Don't be put off by the vibrant colourscheme! View the points as an Outline. Lots of good tips there.

I also recommend exploring his site in general. There is plenty of interesting and thoughtful work can be found at

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Powerpoint tip:

Make an impact with your opening

Setting a few slides on a continous loop before beginning a presentation can help to set the presentation tone for the audience and build audience anticipation and curiosity.

Once you have created your opening presentation slides, open the presentation and go to Slide Show - Set Up Show, then tick the Loop continuously until "Esc" box.

Put the presentation into slideshow view then press the Esc key when you are ready to begin your actual presentation.
