Creating presentation slides by cutting and pasting from a written report undermines the content of the presentation and makes it harder for the audience to follow your line of thought. Oral messages need to be simpler than written messages delivered to the same audience. In oral messages, unlike written messages, the audience members do not have the opportunity to reread a paragraph that they have not fully understood or to skim the report to pick and choose what they want to learn about. In that sense, effective oral messages are tailored to meet the audiences' expectations, use simple language, rely heavily on visuals, and use visual signposts to guide the audience through a presentation.
