Its time for a new medium that retains presentation softwares ability to both seamlessly integrate graphics and words and quickly travel throughout organizations
Slidedocs(new tab)are this new medium
A Slidedoc is a document created using presentation software, where visuals and words unite to illustrate one clear point per page
Theyre meant to be printed or distributed instead of presented
The result is a medium that can be read more quickly than a document
Nancy Duarte has released a free book to help you create effective Slidedocs
