How Do I Redact eSign PPT

I completely agree about all the resources above - nothing can tell you how to present well and write great slide decks like watching people who do it brilliantly.My personal advice would be:Don't touch PowerPoint until you know what story you want to tell and how.  I often start with mind-mapping, or maybe just a list of the key points I want to get across.  It depends how long and complex the presentation is going to be.Don't touch PowerPoint unless you need it to help tell the story you want to tell.  If you can do just as good a job by talking and showing a product demonstration, or by whiteboarding, skip the slides. They shouldn't be mandatory.PowerPoint will blank the screen if you press the B button. So if you don't need slides for all of your talk, or if you want to get focus back for emphasis, blank the screen to get people looking at you again.  (Most presenter remotes will let you program a button to do that, some have one mapped already.)Remember it's not possible for your audience to read and listen at the same time.(This has been alluded to above but it bears repeating.) Never forget the presentation has to meet your audience's needs or it won't meet yours. Pick one or two people who will be in your audience.  Imagine what they will get out of the presentation, then from every slide, then from every point or every word.  If anything doesn't contribute to what the people in the room need from the presentation, kill it. Make every word and every graphic fight for its life.Practice, out loud, at least twice, all the way through. For most people, the first few times out loud will be clunky. You get to choose whether it's your furniture that sees them or your audience.Practice open, expansive, confident body language in a mirror, remember what it looks and feels like, so you can switch it on when you need to. Don't rush your words.  Don't be afraid of pauses.  Even if you're terrified and want to run from the room, faking confident body language will actually make you feel more comfortable.Good luck!

How can I make a good PPT?It really depends on the purpose of the presentation.Is it a school project? A business presentation? A sales pitch? An academic presentation?Primarily, a good presentation needs to support you in bringing your message across in the most effective and compelling way possible.The best way to do that is definitely NOT to create slide after slide of bullet points with long run-on sentences and then read out the slides in a droning monotone. That would be “death by PowerPoint”.Beyond this rather obvious point, we’re back to “it depends”. In a corporate context, proper and clean application of the company’s corporate design is very, very important. The presentation is not just you, presenting your topic - you are often also representing the company in the eyes of your audience. Sloppy presentations simply look badly thought out and inevitably weaken your message.One thing which might help here is that I always recommend that people think carefully about the role of their PPT. Many people have fallen into this strange zombie-like state of thinking “Hey, I have to hold a presentation next week - so I’ll slap together a few slides, then I’m done.” Well, no. That’s lazy and sloppy. And it puts you in the 95% of people who use PPT as an excuse to actually thinking their topic through properly.A better way to proceed could be to start off by thinking “Okay - now what are the four or five key messages that I absolutely need to get across in this presentation? I usually suggest that there is room for one key message per five minutes time. You got ten minutes? That’s two key messages. Choose well, Padawan! Then think about how you could best get those messages across. What background information does the audience need to have, what do they need to understand? What points support your argument? What about points that argue AGAINST your idea? Consider laying them out in the open too and addressing them head-on instead of trying to pretend they don’t exist and hoping no-one asks that question.Actually creating the presentation in PowerPoint should be the very last step here. Not the first (and often only) step.Hey - you may even decide not to create a PowerPoint presentation at all. You may decide to put together a one-pager in Word which you hand out as pre-reading and then work with flip-charts which you have rehearsed.Personally, I like to tell stories (who’d have thunk it, eh?). And that’s what I do when I present. I tell stories. I role-play, I use anecdotes to illustrate specific issues. My aim is to make access to complex information as straightforward as possible.Let’s take training company staff to use a new IT system, which is what I do a great deal of (well, it’s my job): I believe that if I am able to make an audience WANT to use that system, then the rest is largely automatic. My training sessions cover the hands-on basics, but I always emphasise why this particular feature is worth getting excited about. I explain what effect a new process will have on their everyday business. I try to show them the big picture, and not just “click here, now click there, now hit okay…” I hate having people walk out of a training session thinking “I know how to use the system now, but I still don’t have a clue as to why I should bother in the first place.So back to your question: The best possible presentation is one which supports you and your individual communicative skill set in such a way that you can get your message across effectively. This may include PPT slides. But it doesn’t have to. We need to re-learn to communicate. Communication isn’t just about creating slides. It’s about getting the message across.And if creating a series of slides with no text but just with photos illustrating what you are talking about, or video clips showing examples which you then analyse by discussing them - go for it.

Can I suggest something as a reader? Don't tell me what you are feeling, tell me what that feeling is doing to you. Don't tell me you are so in love, tell me how seeing her makes you want to paint the world with the pinkness of her lipsDon't tell me you are very anxious, tell me how your stomach aches and your throat feels ready to burst from the insides knotting themselves up. Don't tell me you are extremely sad, tell me how your body feels so tired that you can do nothing but breathe, that too because you are too tired to lift that knife.Don't tell me you are scared, tell me how your fingers feel ready to pierce through your fists and poke your eyes until they are blinded of the sight, and how you are not sure if it's you who is trembling or everything around you has been thrown upon the head of a gigantic drum being beaten until the collapse of the universe. I don't do a great job at writing the kind of writing that moves me, but if you can, please do. Don't try too hard. Your writing should flow and sweep me along. Stay away from adverbs. Use adjectives sparingly. Similes and metaphors are precious even outside Wren and Martin. Don't define. Describe.

Not quite sure what you mean… if you are trying to download a .PPT file with PHP, there's many different ways, but you probably want cURL, for which there's many examples. I won't contribute to that, you can see one such example here:Download a file with cURLIf you believe .PPT to be a PHP-related file extension, I do not believe there to be any such extension for PHP. However it does look like the extension for Microsoft PowerPoint…

Good presentations are all about 3 skills:- Content- Design- Delivery (Speech)If you get these facts right, a PowerPoint presentation can be remembered for a long time by its audience. Here’s how you can score well on each of these parameters.1. Content- The content on your slides should be crisp, clear and concise.- Avoid using too many slides or too many bullets- Avoid using long sentences- Weave an engaging story around your topic to hold the attention of your audience- Try to evoke an emotion through your presentation. People remember how you made them feel, rather than what you made them see/hear.2. Design- Use modern, fresh colours that appeal to the audience- Use thought-provoking images, videos, animations etc. in your PowerPoint presentation design- Go for predefined templates available online to use themes that make your ppt stand out3. Delivery (Speech)- Begin on a light note - crack a joke, or ask the audience a question.- Avoid reading word for word from your slides- Make notes, and have a well-practiced script ready way before delivering your presentation- Make eye contact with your audience- Don’t focus on selling your idea, instead, focus on solving a problem of your target audienceIf all of this is too much for you, hire a professional presentation design agency to do the job for you!

‘How do you redact in Word?’Great question!This is an awkward one, as there’s no easy way to do this. However, this method works. It’s probably better done as a macro or with VBA.The Ascii key for a black rectangle is Alt+219. This is what we’ll use.Insert a black rectangle in your document, select it, and copy it (just the rectangle, not the space after it):(It’s now copied to the clipboard.)2. Select the text you want to redact. For example:(If you hold down the ctrl key, you can select multiple areas at the same time.)3. Press Ctrl+H to open the Find & Replace dialog:4. In the Find field, type in &? (this means ‘any character’: we’re looking for any character).5. In the Replace field, type in ^c (this stands for ‘clipboard contents’).(Note: you can select these bu clicking on the More button and clicking on the one you want).6. Click on Replace All. This will replace all the selected text with the black triangle.Click on No, we don’t want to search the rest of the document.There are/might be blank lines, so 1) we’re not finished yet, and 2) don’t deselect the redacted text areas.7. Press Ctrl+D to open the Font dialog.8. Click on the Advanced tab9. Change the spacing to 2 pt condensed (less might work, also; try it).10. Click on Ok.There’s your text redacted and condensed.
