We could also have a pre-made chair deck with the meeting title, date, time,
chair names slide, a note well, and a slide with the agenda as loaded into the
tools site. All of the stuff that every chair has to do before every meeting
should be automatable. I know everyone likes things a little different, so you
don't *have* to use the deck if you don't want to.
Something I noticed (it's probably been announced, but I managed to miss it) is
the when I upload a pptx, it is very quickly converted to pdf. That's a good
thing, but presents an issue. Personally, I use powerpoint builds (adding
content to a slide as if there was a subsequent slide with a little more
content) when I give a talk, and pdf doesn't do that. The net effect is that
I'm thinking about a way of explaining something and in effect drawing on the
whiteboard as the slide progresses, and pdf reduces that to the least common
denominator.
So if I were expecting, as a presenter, to use a build, and the display deck
magically became pdf, I don't think I would feel that I had achieved what I
wanted to achieve.
So I would want it to be really easy to override this.
I've also noticed that.
ISTM that the PPT-to-PDF converter ought to deal with that. It could
make a separate page for each step of the build. (Still wouldn't show
the fades, but seems like it would still be better than current situation.)
(BTW, this brands you as a PPT person - not a good thing in this crowd.)
Thanks,
Paul
