I've another one, especially when dealing with managers who say "can you put this into no more than X slides?" when the subject matter is complex: If you're trying to diagrammatically convey something complex on your slide, make the order of reading obvious. When the information is 2-dimensional, readers will zig-zag across the slide trying to make sense and then give up until you walk them through it. If there is a linear order (numbering, arrows), they'll follow it.
