I will never listen to design or presentation advice from anyone that knowingly uses Comic Sans. Period.

Is there a way to automatically play this slide show whenever a person opens up PowerPoint? A constant reminder of what not to do might actually make lectures and presentations enjoyable.

Pretty entertaining, and good advice. I used to work with a guy who put every word he said on each PowerPoint slide. Drove me crazy.

Seriously... those who make the worst mistakes with presentations are going to review your slides and never equate their mistakes with the ones you're showing.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet your slides will prove to them they are doing it right. LOL Some people just won't learn!
