presentation tips from a thoughtful observer

Spelling: double check and then check again.  You must spell everything correctly on your slides.  You will quickly lose creditability if you have more than one obvious spelling mistake.  If your software does not have a spell checker, write your text in Word first and then copy and paste it in

Don't admit: that you don't know something during your presentation, unless you are specifically asked a question about it.  Better yet, don't put anything on your slides, that you don't know something about

Pause: take time to pause when you are asked a question or to gather your thoughts during your presentation.  Better yet, implement a thoughtful posture, so your audience will believe you are brilliant.  I saw someone do this today, and was thoroughly impressed by how he choose to pause and think.
