Opera, the alternative alternative browser, is moving further into PowerPoint territory with the launch of free new software for Web-based presentations. The company's existing presentation software, Opera Show, was first introduced in 2000 but this required hands-on HTML programming. The more basic Opera Show Generator, by contrast, is aimed at more inexperienced users, quickly turning out presentations. More at the PC Pro site (requires registration)...

About 20 slides into the presentation, something had to be done. Conference organizers asked the moderator to get a message to the speaker. By now, many in the audience were shuffling in their seats, checking their Blackberries, talking on cell phones and looking at their watches. Finally, the moderator walked up to the speaker and quietly whispered, "Doctor, you are going to have to wrap it up."

...I'm concerned that the format of these presentations can actually draw the viewer's attention away from their content. It's not that presenters are trying to fool anyone, they're just trying to present their project in the best possible light.....An extreme illustration of how format can overshadow content is found in the book Catch Me If You Can. It's a true story about a man named Frank Abagnale (Leonard DiCaprio played him in the movie version), who appeared so convincing in his fake airline pilot's uniform that bank tellers and hotel clerks cashed his bad checks without hesitation. They paid too much attention to format (the looks of the airline pilot who was presenting the check), and not enough to the content (whether the check was any good or not).

In the beginning, networked AV gear consisted only of networked projectors. And, rightly so, the application for doing this was questionable. Why would anyone want to network a projector and where's the value in the additional 15-20% up-charge for a network projector? And, interestingly enough, the application that most manufacturers "pushed' as a value to networking was the one that's still, three years later, not caught on -- pushing PowerPoint slides via the network without the need for a VGA cable. Don't get me wrong, it will catch on, eventually, but that's still a few years away. Gary Kayye discusses more on the Creative Mac site...

The days of endless bullet-point slides in PowerPoint are numbered—or they should be. Adding digital video to your PowerPoint presentation can help you produce a more instructive and compelling show. To do it right, though, you need to understand the issues.

In December 2002, Steven Brier of Practical Growth mailed me to ask for some live support for distribution of a PowerPoint media creation. The problem was delivery. Steven wanted to create CDs of this presentation that he could give away or sell. The PowerPoint Viewer available at that time was woefully inadequate to cope up with this challenge. Both Steven and me tried different approaches — using DHTML export, Flash output and even replicating the whole presentation in other multimedia programs. The bottom line was that none of them worked — at least none of them captured the original concept anywhere close. Read more...

Every element in PowerPoint has a fill and line attribute — patterned lines are just another line attribute. Here are some samples of patterned lines...
