Using PowerPoint
Setting
Up Text on Slides
- Limit the amount
of information on each slide.
- Include no more
than 5-7 words per line.
- Include no more
than 5-7 lines per slide (more than that and the text size
will reduce to a point that will be hard to read).
- Limit yourself
to one font style for all slides, titles, text, etc.
- Use no more
than 2-3 sizes of the font you choose. The largest size
for titles, the second largest for each main point, and
the smallest for supporting details. (A good rule of thumb
- use 36- to 48 point for titles and 24- to 36- point for
the main text of the slide).
- Avoid shadowed
text if at all possible.
- Avoid using
all caps.
- Use a combination
of upper and lowercase letters.
- Use bulleted
information rather than complete sentences.
- Use bold or
italics for emphasis rather than underlining which is harder
to read.
- Maintain parallel
structure when writing bulleted information - see the sample
below.
