The document discusses common mistakes made when creating PowerPoint presentations. It states that one major mistake is including all of the verbatim text you plan to say on the slides, as this means you have nothing additional to say and audiences will finish reading before you finish speaking. Another mistake is overusing bullet points, sound effects, and animated transitions as these can be distracting. The document recommends practicing your presentation and not relying solely on the slides to remember your talking points.

5. One of the worst things most do when making a presentation using PowerPoint is to stick every word of what they want to say actually on the PowerPoint. Meaning that you actually have nothing additional to say because its all up on the slide for you. Similar to reading off the PowerPoint, this additional phase of word dumping will quickly send audiences to sleep. In addition your audience will be able to read faster than you can talk so this will mean that they would have finished reading the slide before you finished verbalizing it, and will most likely be sitting there waiting for you to finish off reading, by which time they may have gone to sleep. This invariably makes it easier not to rehearse or remember a presentation but will turn people off straight away. This is a lazy approach to doing presentations and speeches and it will show that you haven’t really prepared and basically winging most of the points and using to jog your memory. So don’t do it is the simple rule. One of the worst things most do when making a presentation using PowerPoint is to stick every word of what they want to say actually on the PowerPoint.
