This is a very specific matter of technique. As I started doing more presentations outside the US or with mixed audiences, I was told that the challenge of slide content is to make it neither too terse nor too verbose. Too terse imparts too little information for a reader who is using them to augment listening to the English. Too verbose, of course, takes too much time to read for real-time. In addition, slides often circulate later and need to have enough text to be useful without the speaker's commentary. So I try to use "telegraphic" text that stands on its own. That is, it's a terse as I can make it, while still making sense without my commentary. (It turns out this also provides the opportunity to have the speaking commentary go beyond the slide text, since I can let the audience rely on the slides for key points.) d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
