Create a PowerPoint A full copy of this article can be found at the following link. All of the slides regarding how to make a PowerPoint presentation were copied from this article.

Step One First, choose a slide design. I would say to choose this first because changing a slide design can change the whole layout of your presentation, so you want to choose one that you like in advance.

Step Two Second, create a title slide. List the title of your presentation, and whatever other information is necessary, such as your name, the name of your class or the name of your organization.

Step Three Create your slides. First, add in all text and charts. Visuals and transitions can come later. So, create your slides. Keep each slide to one main point. List a title on each slide. Write all wording in short, understandable phrases.

Step Three Example For example, this is an effective slide: How to make a bowl of cereal - Get a bowl. - Fill the bowl with cereal. - Get milk from the refrigerator. - Pour milk in the bowl.

Step Three Example This is NOT a good slide: This is how you should make a good bowl of cereal with the right amount of milk. - First, get a bowl out of the cabinet. Then get cereal and pour it in the bowl. - Pour milk in next because it's important. - Put the milk away.

Step Four Add visuals, but only where necessary. Do not add clip art just for the sake of having pictures. Make sure any pictures are relevant to your presentation.

Step Five Go ahead and use sounds and / or transitions, but make sure to keep them limited. Overdoing sounds and transitions will be distracting, and people will focus more on those than what your PowerPoint says.

Step Six Make sure your fonts and formatting are consistent. You do not want to have the Arial font on one page and Times New Roman on another. Also, you do not want to use different styles of bullets on different slides.

Step Seven Do a spell check. Make sure to catch any words that spell check may think are incorrect. For example, spell check does not know if you meant to say 'moral' or 'morale.' Make sure that any spelling errors are corrected with the right words.

Step Eight Look at your layout and color scheme. Confirm that the layout is appropriate for the topic and the colors work well together. Make sure the words are easy to read.

Step Nine View your PowerPoint slide all the way through to make sure that all visuals, sounds and transitions are functioning properly. Pay special attention to anything that is timed, so you can make sure to have enough time to complete your previous thought before the new information comes onto the screen.
