Print Handouts
If you need a feedback for your show, you can print handouts to give out the audience. It helps the audience to follow the presentation and remember the details after the presentation. Handouts are widely used with the presentations for marketing and educational purposes. It is also useful when you can not show your presentation due to the lack of equipment.
35mm Slide Show
It requires 35mm Slide Show Projector. Do not forget that you will lose all the animations and effects. You will be able to use only the static pages. This option is cheap and it offers bright and vivid colors. On the other hand, this show can be counted as out of date.
Overhead Transparencies
This method is quite well-known in education. You can print your slides on a special transparent paper (acetate) and you can use them with Overhead Projectors. It is good for large groups. But this feature also supports only static slides. It means that you will not be able to use your effects or animations.
Presentation from a Computer
This feature allows you to use all the abilities of PowerPoint program. A data projector will help you to reflect the show onto a screen. As they become cheaper, data projectors are more widely used nowadays.
Presentation from a CD
A new feature is added to PowerPoint 2003 to deliver your presentation. If you use Package for CD option, the presentation will be copied to a CD. You will need a CD burner to copy the files. When you insert the CD, the presentation will run automatically even though PowerPoint is not installed on the computer since the CD includes a PowerPoint viewer program.
