The document provides guidelines for creating effective PowerPoint slides for presentations. Key points include: 1) Keep slides concise with no more than one topic per slide and limit text to allow the audience to comprehend information at a glance. 2) Follow the 6x6 rule - no more than six words per line and six lines per slide. 3) Emphasize important information through formatting such as font size, style, and color while maintaining consistency. 4) Use visual elements like charts, graphs and images to communicate concepts but keep them simple and avoid distracting patterns or effects.

Editor's Notes
- This guide on PowerPoint use and the art and science of oral presentation represents a synthesis of the best information available from numerous sources, including my own professional experience. My principal inspirations, however, were a guide used by the Harvard School of Public Health’s Instructional Computing Facility, and a similar “presentation on presentations” prepared for classroom use by Prof. Larry Lamb, School of Journalism & Mass Comm., UNC-Chapel Hill. -- Andrew Sleeth, Mar. 2006
- It’s revealing that we often speak of “giving a PowerPoint presentation,” as if the PowerPoint slides were an end in themselves rather than a tool to aid communication.
- These points are true for speaker and audience alike.
- It’s easy to let the slide-making take control over the content rather than YOU having control over it. An outline will help keep you from being swept away by the creative process of making slides. Creative tools should support content, not the other way round.
- This slide says it all…which is waaaaaaaaayyyy too much!
- If you can’t do this, then a slide isn’t the right medium for your content.
- Obsessing over proper grammar and punctuation in slides ignores their function. Give your audience credit for being “wired” to fill in the blanks by taking advantage of the communication shortcuts that come with a visual medium. The longer you keep their eyes/minds focused on the slide, the less impact YOU make as a speaker.
- This and the next slide are the prevailing wisdom. On the other hand, extensive research shows that serif fonts are more “readable” because they provide more visual clues to the brain about what letter you’re seeing. This explains why most newspapers use roman fonts for their copy and save the san serif for headlines.
- Once you make a design decision, stick with it throughout your presentation. Keep your headline in the same place, repeat type selections, color and line rules Clarity comes from consistency.
- Never use patterned, watermarked or imaged backgrounds.
- Use of 3-D in a bar chart, such as this one, is not only unnecessary, it’s counterproductive for comprehension. Three dimensions should only be used when the data cannot be effectively represented along two axes.
- The only thing cliché clipart says is that you didn’t give enough consideration to the use of images. There’s nothing wrong with the occasional, gratuitous “pretty picture.” Just be confident it’s either relevant to your topic or isn’t one everyone has seen in a thousand other PowerPoint slides.
- This illustrates good use of a “screen capture.” To save a graphic image of whatever is on your computer monitor, simply press Alt + Print Screen. You can paste the image where needed.
- This image was obtained from a search on Dogpile.com There’s actually another outhouse image hidden behind this one. Take your pick!
- [De Niro fans will recognize this defining moment from “Taxi Driver,” as sociopath Travis Bickle continues his spiral into madness by directing hostility to an imaginary bystander with the accusatory, “You talkin' to me?”] To establish eye contact, think in terms of noting (to yourself, of course) everyone’s eye color. To cue your slides, have the delivering computer monitor in front of you. If that’s not possible, then use a printout of the slides as your notes.
