PowerPoint was initially created to replace overhead transparencies and 35mm slides; that's why we still call each page a slide. But today, PowerPoint is also used as a layout and desktop publishing tool. A lot of people shudder at the thought of that or try to deny that they're doing it, but the fact is, PowerPoint can, and should, be used as a tool for creating documents and print-only presentations that will never be projected.

Everyone presents at some point. The Presentation Podcast hosts talk about their tips and Best Practices for using presentation software.

The process of when someone should be hiring a presentation design professional starts with some questions: What is the goal of the presentation? How much is at stake? How much time do you have to invest in the presentation slides vs. presentation content and other business needs?

And for our hosts today, the question is: “What do Presentation Design Professionals need from you?”

PowerPoint is synonymous with ‘Presentation’ but the latest version’s name is creating some confusion with Windows and Mac versions both being named “2016.” In addition, there are different ways to get Office 2016, but not all are the same.
