Quick – what’s a better slide color: gray or red? Almost everyone will say gray is far better as a slide color than red. Most of the time we agree, but then, color in itself is a fickle subject because what may work most of the time may not work in a different scenario. Worse, a color that’s not imaginable as a slide color may look attractive. Yes, stranger things have happened in the unexplainable world of color.

Reusing your existing slides can be a great help: first you need not recreate stuff you already have and secondly you are saving so much time that you can use more effectively to practice your presentation! Having said that, always start by creating an outline of your presentation. This is important because it gives you an opportunity to plan your slides all over again. Thereafter, reuse any existing slides. PowerPoint provides a quick command that locates specific slides, and enables you to add them to the active presentation.
