3. Power Paragraph
Too many experts look at PowerPoint from the
technical perspective – what features do people use
and how to use the features. A recent survey took a
different perspective. For the first time, the audience
perspective on PowerPoint presentations was
considered. In September of 2012, 159 people were
asked what they found most annoying about the
PowerPoint presentations that they see. The results of
this survey have important insights for presenters at all
levels.
