I have been trained by professionals in how to make good slides, so at least I know a good one if I see it. I have to admit that within the free software world that training is sourly missing. Too often slides are filled with text as if the presentation itself is supposed to be documentation, speaker notes are often not distributed at all. Probably this is partly due to trying to make the slides meaningful to people who did not attend the presentation. However, I have never had any trouble with LO in that respect. I would rather say to the contrary, all the bling in powerpoint tends to lead to horrible presentations. Moreover there are several slides in Michael's presentation that are prime examples of excellent slides (while others are horrible). Exactly what problem do you have making good presentations with Impress?

The lack of a guide on making good presentations?

I think it's even more fundamental than that.
The lack of agreement on what makes a good presentation.

Surely we can agree on that!
If you are depending on a tool to make a good presentation, then you are missing the point - and should probably stick to cat photos :-)
And if people come away from your presentation thinking that the slides were really good, then they probably were distracted by them and missed your point.
