It would help if I knew how to create slides in the first place. I
have never used 'em since the days when they were drawn by hand on
sheets of ?acetate? so all backgrounds would have been clear. Most
talks in 'my time' wouldn't even have used OHPs but rather
flip-over pads :-)
I am not sure that using slides is the best way to show how to use
