Without a slide I would have to describe the composition of the piece, but knowing that the presentation can have images. When I am writing the paper then, I just skip the description part, knowing I am going to add a slide. For the most part I write the piece thinking only of the prose. One of the problems with presentation software is the extent to which it restricts thinking, forcing your presentation into a tidy little box. The only problem is this box is relatively content free in the end. Plug and play presentations are rarely thought provoking. I could add a lot more here, but instead I will merely mention this previous post and direct you to the article it addresses, and finally point to this rather useful example that explains the problem with writing to slides instead of using slide to illustrate a point. (Ohh one more link, this one is to a talk Lessig gave, and it shows how to effectively use slides in a presentation, no images no bullet points, just presentation poetry.)
