I've been watching the lynda.com tutorials on Google Docs presentations. At first glance, they seem familiar to me. I am already thinking they are similar to Keynote and Power Point. What I found useful was the New Features tab. This is where you can click and learn about new features to Google Docs. One click learning-gotta love it!!
In Presentations, you can create a presentation quickly and simply. There are templates to use for presentations depending on your needs or you can create your own. If you can't find a background you like in the gallery, open up the templates and choose form the many that are created. Editing the objects in a presentation is so simple. You use the command buttons at the top of the presentation screen and format the object till your heart's content.
If you want to give your presentation a permanent name, you go to File--Rename and name your document with a permanent name. How simple is this?!
If you've already got presentations made in PowerPoint, you can very easily upload them and GoogleDocs will convert them for you. You can add slides into current presentations by importing them into the current presentations. You can't simply copy and paste slides into a presentation, you have to import them.
Presentations is limited in some of it's abilities; like transitions and animations. But for simple, straight forward presentations, it seems like a good choice.
