Introduction to PowerPoint Basics

• Basic Guidelines

17
Screen Layout

• Avoid using the bottom left portion of the screen
  for important information
• Use graphics for instructional purposes, to
  convey a message or concept, or to focus
  attention
• Use single column format
• Do not right justify

18
Fonts

• Avoid using all capital letters, except for a
  word or two of emphasis in short titles or
  buttons
• Try not to use more than three types of fonts on
  one screen
• Use serif fonts for body of text

19
Color

• Avoid using red and green to differentiate
  important points. Roughly 5 to 10 percent of the
  population is red/green deficient.
• Use a maximum of four to six colors per screen.
• Use color to link related information.

20
Color continued

• Use brighter colors for the most important
  information.
• Use commonplace color coding, such as red for
  stop, green for go, and so forth.
• Avoid combinations of complementary colors that
  are the same value, such as blue/orange

Animation

• You can animate text, graphics, sounds, movies,
  and other objects on your slides so you can focus
  on important points, control the flow of
  information, and add interest to your
  presentation.
• You can have each main bullet point appear
  independently of others, or you can have objects
  appear progressively, one after another.
• You can set up the way you want each bullet point
  or object to appear on your slide.  A new feature
  in PowerPoint 97 is the ability to animate
  elements of a graph.
