In this chapter
One of the more serious drawbacks of a traditional slide show is that it locks you into a sequential presentation, one slide after another. If your presentation is strictly an exposition, with no questions or side trips allowed, that might not necessarily be so bad. But if you already present in any kind of teaching or training environment, you know that such presentations are rarely sequential. Can PowerPoint be used in a nonlinear fashion? And if so, how? Indeed, it can. This chapter explores the use of action settings, which are tools that help you jump from what you're doing to something else, whether or not that something else is next on your planned agenda. |
