The main reason  hate power point is because of the material I have been asked to make presentations over. Who wants to evaluate tax returns when there are so many graphics to be used.That being said, it is very compliacted and is difficult to learn. Powerpoint presentations need to be interesting and keep the audience's attention. The presenter needs to be able to only refer to the powerpoints for key words or graphics. Droning on with excess text on each slide turns the presentation into a reading assignment which misses the point entirely. I look forward to learning how to use all powerpoint offers to make interesting presentations on interesting topics.
