Example of Bad PowerPoint

PowerPoint is not a document. It’s not a series of virtual notecards projected onto a screen for you to read aloud, either.

A PowerPoint presentation is a visual supplement to your talk or meeting — that’s it.

If you need this many words on a slide, you’re better off creating a Word document and sending it to the folks you’d otherwise invite to your meeting.

Trust me — they’ll thank you.
