I hate to say this - given the flame wars a conversation about PowerPoint often brings, but I do use Powerpoint to hold multiple in-sequence screen dumps of the application or web site.
It doesn't need to be a HiFi version - you can do it in simple wireframes as well. What you really want to know is, given an instruction, what will your user focus on. You hope that the layout and visual clues are there and this is a great way of presenting them. Powerpoint also allows you to add buttons or "hotspots" that can have an action associated with them so that the screen only goes to the next page IF the user clicks in the desired spot. Just look under the Tools menu in PowerPoint; if you can do Transitions in PP you should have no trouble with Actions. I've done this successfully on quite complex task flows with good results (and the clients love them ;-). regards Stephen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
