    Thank you for a very effective presentation. Even without your notes, I get the gist of what you are sharing. Most presentations I see are so vague that they mean virtually nothing without the meeting or class that goes with them.

  30. FW: re: re re: re: re: meeting for dinner There are many things that will lead to improved readability. I’ve read many articles about this topic and picked up many tips that I’d like to share with you. I promise you that your stuff will be much more readable! Second in importance is the choice of font. I also took a class in this once at the university level and get an a plus, so I assure you I am an expert in the matter. So in no order of importance are some things to be awared of that will make you more effective: Make sure that the font choice and size support readability. Boy a bad font choice really makes things difficult. Sans serif is generally easier to use than serif. Also caps are kind of difficult on the peepers. It is easier to read a mixture of cases as opposed to all caps. Next be aware of formatting. Formatting can be your best friend. Use of bolding, underlining, italicizing, centering and indents/bullets can make it much easier for the reader to quickly scan your message and grasp the key points. Consider breaking paragraphs up into smaller units and using a space between paragraphs as opposed to a simple indent. Lastly, consider using color, and even images, to make certain concepts stand out. Be careful, do not overuse color, or use color in a way that is hard on the eyes. Now you that you know all this you will never again. The most important thing about readability is that you have good Headlines and Subject line in an email to immediately capture the attention of your reader. So now that you got all that you are ready to go forth and do great slides and handouts and such. Good luck to you!! In Other Words
