Overview: PowerPoint is a wonderful tool for organizing and presenting information. But, as with any tool, it has the potential for misuse. Who hasn't sat through a badly constructed, poorly delivered presentation? This list will help you avoid some of the most commonly made PowerPoint blunders. Security expert and author Jesper Johansson spends a lot of time attending events, delivering--and listening to--PowerPoint presentations. He has compiled a Top 10 list of the biggest mistakes people make when using PowerPoint, including:

  • Reading the text to the audience directly from the slides
  • Worrying more about the template than the substance of the presentation
  • Making poor--or painful--color choices for text and background
  • Overusing bullet points
