Powerpoint sucks - what to use instead?
JavaJones:
ProShow is interesting, but the problem is I don't need to have *more* flexibility, I need less. ;) Nor would it probably be very welcome to have to learn a totally new UI, heh. While I *am* looking for an alternative, which potentially implies a different interface, ProShow is really a fairly different approach, which would be more jarring than I would like.
What I basically need is to define a fairly rigid format and make people stick to it when designing. Powerpoint has some ability to do this, but in practice it doesn't work nearly as well as I'd like.

Yeah, I understand. I can't think of anything to do what you're asking. it's a good idea. It would be nice to be able to quickly whip out a nice presentation based on some preset styling.
JavaJones:
I'm thinking it might be fairly easily do-able with a customized HTML editor like Komposer or one of the other open source options:

Then just put it in a Javascript-driven page transition fader. Run all the styling off a central CSS file. Hmm...

You could take a look at Prezi. I don't have any real experience of it; it is just sitting on my "Cool looking things to take a proper look at" list :)

- the "Math is not linear"-prezi is fantastic. Not as much for the Prezi itself but because of the subject which Alison Blank is really good at explaining.
