It seems that

January 29, 2002 by Michael Boyle

It seems that

Bill hates Word. I have not much good to say about Word, but my real hatred is reserved for PowerPoint. I don’t know what Ed is thinking, cause in my opinion PPT isn’t slick. It’s barely useable. It’s formatting options are too simplistic, the templates are godawful, and those transition effects are, well, nausea-inducing.

Worst of all though is the lack of transition-ability from Word to PPT. You think PPT would respect Word styles, even minimally, let alone give you the option to define what Word styles go where in a new slide show (which is the top of a new slide, which are the first, second, third level of the outline).
