I was pleasantly surprised to come across this article in Boxes and Arrows!
Joseph’s recommendations above are useful. And thanks to Maureen for publishing this article. I never thought that this was such an underutilized feature. I first discovered the interactive power point show back in grad school while tinkering with it for a class project- as I wanted something quick and dirty to demonstrate a tool in my CHI class. And incidentally now I am using it as a tool to do some quick usability tests at work.

I think it is a very useful tool to run quick and easy tests with users at any time in the design process. And it doesn’t take too much work to set it up either. Thanks for sharing it with everyone Maureen!

Great suggestion!
And, Maassen- good observation! I agree with it. This has always been a dilemma for me too.

What if we put “OK” first and “Cancel” later if we placed the buttons on the left side of the page and vice versa if we placed the right side of the page? I think an additional affordance could be to introduced with a visual distinction between the two buttons as well.

I came across another article by Luke W, that really creates some food for thought. Read it here: http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/PSactions.asp
