If you think many of your primary target group will have text-based browsers, do not put important information in graphical form. At the very least, repeat that information in text or use tags with descriptive text attached to graphics. And be aware that there are visually impaired users with screen reading programs who will have difficulty with graphical user interfaces. You might provide a gopher version in text, and create a hypertext link from the web site to the text version. The co-authors of this paper both created slide show presentations from which this article is derived.
Slide shows are very easy to create.
Using a slide show software package, like Microsoft PowerPoint, the creator is led through the process of creation. Each slide carries part of an outline, and can include graphics and even sound effects. The slides can be made to fade into the next in a variety of ways. Too many sound effect or fade tricks can detract from the presentation, though, so consider carefully what you want to accomplish. You need not rethink the formatting, just load the computer text, if available, or scan the guide.
