You should be able to get a demo disk for More. Even though I already had
Persuasion, I got the demo in order to see what it had. One thing that it
has which Persuasion doesn't is much more flexible gradient fills. You can
pick general directions (left to right, top-left to bottom-right, etc.) and
I believe you can have three colors (can't remember).

Actually, it's rather easy to change from slides to overheads in Persuasion.
Of course, you need to set things up beforehand, but just create your basic
slide AutoTemplates, then save as and convert the templates to black & white.
Then, just use the File/AutoTemplates... to open the B&W AT and replace all
templates of the same name. All your slides will now use the B&W templates
instead of the color ones.

You do need to make certain that you create the B&W templates from the color
ones so that your text & chart positioning remains the same when you pull over
the B&W templates into the presentation.
