Should I be nice or not?

I would ask her straight up what specific point of the presentation she's interested in. If she says the points, I'd give her a few points you might make (but not all of them, not indepth & not the really good ones). If she says the "look" tell her that you'd be glad to let her use the template after you're done (if you're okay with that). If she says "oh, I just want to see what it looks like", then I'd tell her that you're like an artist & don't want people to see it until it's complete, that she'll see it during the presentation or afterwords. Something to that effect.

She may feel like you're holding back, but she's not proven herself to be trustworthy in the credit department, so I would absolutely not show her the the whole show or even the whole text.

Good luck & let us know.

a tough situation. If time allows and the person isn't too much of a dingbat I would give them a quick tutorial on how to make their own.

Fishbone, Just because you do not do what others want each time does not mean that you are being mean......but because you care enough to think over this preoves you are not. Do what is best for the long term...ya know.
