4. Click to edit Master title style
•Be consistent. Stick to two, or at most, three fonts for the whole
presentation.
•Use the slide master before you start entering text to establish
the chosen fonts on the slides.
•This avoids having to change each slide individually.
5. Capital Letters
ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF
SHOUTING
ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE HARD TO READ
6. Titles and Bullets
Use different fonts for titles and bullets This makes it
easy for your audience to see which is which
7. Don’t use script type fonts
Avoid script type fonts -- always. These fonts are hard to read at the best of
times. In a darkened room, and especially at the back of the room, they are
almost impossible to decipher.
8. Italics
Avoid italics unless it is to make a point – and then
make sure to bold the text for emphasis. Italics pose
the same problems as script type fonts – they are often
hard to read.
9. Font size
Don’t use anything smaller than an 18 point font – and
preferably a 24 point as the minimum size.
Not only will this larger sized font fill up your slide so
there is not so much empty space, it will also limit your
text.
Too much text on a slide is evidence that you are a
novice at making presentations.
10. Dimming Text
• Use the “dim text” feature for bullet points.
• This places the emphasis on the current issue
• and brings it to the forefront while you are making your
point.
