RE: Alternative tool for creating & maintaining PowerPoint training decks?

[Kath Bowman <Kath -dot- Bowman -at- au -dot- saabgroup -dot- com>]

Captivate can output a PDF file that can still look like PowerPoint if you want it to. It can also include Flash and good navigation options. Of course you can do a lot of fancy stuff with PowerPoint now, but Captivate makes creation of video easy. It is a good medium for eLearning.

I thought maybe there was some PowerPoint-ish slide show option.
