The 35,000-Foot Overview (4)
September 23, 2009 – 3:20 amWhen you scan slides in this view, it should become evident when some slides don’t fit where you’ve placed them. You may want to shift them to a different part of the sequence; or they may be extraneous, in which case, you might want to eliminate them altogether. The connection between any one part of the presentation and the next should also be clear. If it isn’t, you might want to rethink your sequence. You could add, delete, or shuffle slides so that the logic is evident; or, you might even try a different Flow Structure.
The ultimate technique for checking your flow is to read only the titles of your slides, as in Figure 9.3. If you can trace the logic of your entire presentation by reading these few words, bypassing the bullets, graphs, or other content, you’ve created clarity. A presentation that achieves this makes it easy for your audience to follow and easy for you to deliver. In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can use either the Slide Sorter or the Outline view to read only the titles.
