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 2003, 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.
