    Nylon. learning powerpoint is as easy as falling off a log. It's dead simple.

    You're right about coworkers needing the ability to edit. that's crucial. handing them a 'finished product' isn't going to win you any points, as most suits want the ability to tinker with the text etc.

    learn the tool. it's super easy to learn. and honestly, it's not that bad for doing presentations.

    ultimately, what you'll need to do is create a huge template file, with multiple 'example' versions of different pages etc...
    you'll also need to set up the file with all the fonts sizes, H1 H2 blah blah...

    You can easily 'kick-start' the process by finding something you like on graphicriver.com or something like that... that's a pretty simple way to go about it... then tinker and tailor it to your purposes, or you can start one from scratch...or find a free one online and start from there.... there's plenty of free one's you can find etc...

    anyhow just go with Powerpoint... if you crack it open this evening, and spend a few hours fucking around, I guarantee you'll see a) how easy it is and b) start to imagine all the things you can do with it etc...

    • Yep. Working with other people's ppts can be truly horrible but if you get to make and brand some templates, not the end of the worldFax_Benson
    • Is there even a tutorial to do this? "you'll also need to set up the file with all the fonts sizes, H1 H2 blah blah..."nylon
