You are of course correct about the defaults (this is a point I probably make too many times in the book, but it bears repeating). My advice is simple: Don't rely on the defaults. Make your own decisions about everything from the background color to the style and size of typeface. It's a mystery to me why Microsoft hasn't long ago corrected the problems with the defaults.... Thanks, s. Stephen Kosslyn Greetings..

As most PowerPoint users are also Windows users, only one in a million of whom has any taste and one in 10 million of whom knows the first thing about type, those defaults tend to stick and *are a problem*. If you’d like a comparison, there is one: Keynote. And can you explain how the author handles the issue of PowerPoint’s punishingly awful and reader-hostile type and colour defaults?
