By the way, inquiring minds want to know.......just how in heck did you do the graphs........draw them in a notebook, then redo them with some presentation graphics?

For the most part, I wrote down the data and memorized the slide layout so that I could attempt to reproduce it later. This works for most types of slides. One that I couldn't get was the graph of the litography industry revenues. It was a line chart showing the fluctuations over time, with a straight line showing the average. From what I could tell, it seemed to be increasing at about 20% a year. For the presentation that I posted, I did the slides containing words-only with Powerpoint, and the bar graphs using Excel. I cut and pasted the results into a Word97 document. It turned out usable, if not pretty. Word's output of HTML is pretty lousy, so I might use another method if I ever do this again.

Glad it's of use to so many. There have been 374 visits to the page so far, 300 from unique network addresses.
