I finally had a chance to download and view this presentation. Very nice,
Glenda!

The word experience wrapping on slide 8 is because of the Forte font. If any
of you see the wrap (as I do), go to Format/Font, and note that there's a ??
beside Forte. That means it's not installed on your computer and PPT is
substituting. Glenda, you might look into the font embedding to resolve
this. Or simply change the font to something more standard.

I like the puzzle effect on slide 8, but the images are a bit pixellated. I
see that even though the images are only 1.5"x1.62", they're still sized at
about 200%. That's what's causing the pixellation. Do you have the originals
that you could resize in an image editor to help correct that? Same thing
with the central oval image on slide 7--it's set to 150%, and the
pixellation is a bit distracting.

Same thing with the flags on slide 4. They're pretty ragged on the edges,
even though they look fine in edit mode. I assume these are animated GIFs?
You might want to check them out in Gif Construction Set
http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/gifcon.html or a similar program to see
if you can eliminate some of that. Also, if you're distributing this
presentation on, say, a CD, and relying on the Viewer to show the
presentation, you should know that animated GIFs won't work in the Viewer.
You'll need to convert to AVI if that's the case.

Just some suggestions (not meant to detract from the fact that this is a
really great presentation!). I like very much the layout, overall design and
emphasis options you chose.
