Are you guilty?
I posted some PowerPoint advice a couple of months ago, but then just last week I found the chart below that might help to bring the point home even more.
Look here for additional information about how you can avert death by PowerPoint and here for more reasons why you should rely on yourself as the message and not the tool as your message.

I trust that chart was made in PPT? Oh, the irony …

I agree with these PowerPoint sins and yet recently I have seen some great additions to PowerPoint through includes of other programs.
Data visualization software (such as Adobe Flex) included in a PowerPoint presentation allows the experienced presenter virtually “play” with the data on the screen. One of the best examples of this I have seen was through the TED Conference free public presentation they post following their conferences. The presenter used a PowerPoint type background but seemed to “control” the screen. Again this requires an experienced presenter with an experience programmer building the presentation - but wow talk about visually engaging!
