Presentation agro

I am working on a 2 minute presentation that I need to give at a conference next week.

The marketing team sent me some PowerPoint slides to work from. They give a little generic info about some of the journals we will be highlighting at the conference. I just have to add my history of the company stuff and it will be done.

Usually, I like the whole process of putting together the presentation and playing with the animation, trying to get the "flow" right etc., but I'm a bit frazzled this time around.

The reason: MS Office 2007.

They moved all the buttons!

It took me a week or two to get used to Excel, it took longer to find all the buttons on Word, and now I'm just flummoxed with Power Point. I have one slide where I can't seem to figure out how to change the animation.

What the fa?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The rest of the presentation is fine...it's just this one friggin' slide that just won't give in to my wishes.

I am in control.

Yes...yes, I am.

I can do this.

After I have another cup of coffee.
