PowerPoint: Designing Slide Shows
Are you getting tired of the look of your PowerPoint presentations - why not change them?
This can be accomplished easily using the Design Template. Click From Design Template in the task pane.
Thumbnails of the templates available on your computer pop up. Use the scroll bar to move through them, and click one you like.
These templates assign elements such as backgrounds and type colors that look good together.
Here are some principles to follow when laying out your slides:
* No more than six lines per screen
* No more than six words per line
* Text should be at least 32-points
* Text should be flush left
* Text and headings should be in a sans serif font
* None of the words should be in all CAPS
* No more than two different fonts should be used
* There should be high contrast between the text color and background color
* Pictures should be at a 72 dpi resolution for Macintosh and 96 dpi resolution for Windows.
* Only meaningful pictures should be used.
