I'd add: don't read off the slides. You are the presentation; the slides are there to support what you're saying. Tell the audience more than they'd get just reading the screen.
If you're worried about forgetting something, print notes for yourself. If you have to share the slides later, make two versions: one for speaking to, one for sharing.

Also, be aware of cross-platform issues. I recently developed a PowerPoint presentation on a Mac but had to deliver the presentation running on a Windows PC. Some text no longer fit properly because the PC didn't have the appropriate fonts.
