HI EVERY ONE
I WOULD WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS NECESSARY TO ADD EXPLANATONTO WORDS IN POWER POINT PRESENTATION? THAT IS, WORDS WHICH MIGHT CREATE MISUNDERSTANDING OR MEAN DIFFERENT IN ANOTHER CONTEXT EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT CALL FOR INTERACTION OR FURTHER EXPLANATION.
THANKS. :roll: :roll:

Hi,
I feel powerpoint presentations should be clear & short. If any explanatory words or other (as u said in the mail) are used it will confuse people. You can use good picture or clip arts to make it more effective & meaningful.

Dear Beatrice,
From your query i understand that this might be an intial stage where you are making a ppt. (please do not take it in a wrong way).
I would always advice you that anytime you make a presentation you might always think that everything that you have mentioned is correct but its better if you consult any senior /colleague to review your presentation before you send it to a senior authority or present the same to people. You have to ensure that all contents are well researched since today we have search sites which are highly efficient in providing good information.

Dear Friends,
In a power point presentation if new terminology is used which the audience may not be familiar, in such case brief explanation of such words may be required.
However, in general, the power point presentation should NOT contain too much of text. The speaker should not READ the slides and he should only refer to the bullet points written on slides.
Many times the speaker has so much text on slides that he/she keeps on reading, as if reading a book, and has not time to even look at the audience! This way you loose all the POWER of the Power Point Presentation!! [Audience is also powerless to do anything to you.]

Hi,
A basic rule with all slides is the rule of 6 X 6 i.e. not more than six words in a line and not more than six lines on a slide.
The more text you have on the slide the more muddled it will become. Also, the you want to draw focus to yourself when you are presenting and not really the slides in the background.
Additionally the audience will then tend to run ahead of you and in most cases, presenters tend to start reading off of the slides. Which becomes really boring. Feedback from most audiences in this regard is almost always 'we could've done that ourselves'.
You probably want to use some power words & phrases on the slides and then talk & explain the points listed. This way it gives you greater control over what you want to talk about as well and mould the presentation as per audience inputs.
Hope this helps!

Beatrice:

I do Seminar Presentations around the world, and have found that using only keywords on the PowerPoint slide makes for the most effective presentation.

If you have a photograph, clip art, or diagram which depicts the point you are making in your presentation, it's much better to use this than many words--and with only a short caption. Verbally tell your attendees what you need to communicate.

My entire presentation process, in fact, has moved to using PPT only as a backdrop for the presentation.

What you are sharing with the group to whom you are presenting is much more important than the powerpoint presentation. It becomes even more important if you are able to use the power of the visual with the explanation of the concept through oral communication.

To drive home this process even further, share an anecdotal story with your group which illustrates the point in a context that they will understand. I find that if I'm speaking to IT groups, using IT language in a humorous way tends to lock them into the presentation. If I'm speaking to a medical group, I find an anecdotal story from medicine.

Generally speaking---and some expert in PowerPoints will argue this with me--the less written on the PowerPoint slide--and the less animation you put into the slide---the better. Keep the presentation focused on what you are saying, not flying words or spinning pictures, words that appear out of nowhere or visuals that appear as if by magic.

Simple, well developed themes with anedotal backdrops seem to hold the visual and audio "attention" of the audience the best. And do you know what is the most important? Have fun with what you are doing! It's absolutely contagious.

Hope that's helpful. Let me know if i can help you further.
