Death by PowerPoint

I looked up a couple of problems with PowerPoint and how we can avoid "Death by PowerPoint".  One problem is that people put too many pictures in their presentation, which can cause the audience to focus more on those than the actual topic.  Another problem that ruins your presentation is if you move your cursor across the screen which can cause people to focus on that and not your presentation.  Also, if you are presenting and you get to the end of your whole presentation and you go into the PowerPoint program and not in "View Slideshow", then your audience will lose their faith in you as a presenter and get bored.

SOLUTIONS!
1.  Don't use to many visuals!
2.  Don't move your mouse or use Ctrl-H to hide the pointer!
3.  Don't show that you are using the PowerPoint program so you can keep the audience's faith in you!!!!
