3. Who is sponsoring the event? (You? Your Library or other institution? Your Group?)
4. What should people wear? (Really…this is important. No one wants to come in jeans when you have on a formal…)
6. When will it be held? (Times should always be in SLT Second Life Time…which is actually Pacific Standard Time)
7. Where will it take place? (Including the SLURL on the notecard is a huge help)

9. Step 1… Open PowerPoint to a blank screen and choose your background. Select the design tab and click background styles. Then click format background. The following are some backgrounds that work…and some that don’t…
10. This is beautiful. But one of the Things that you have to keep in mind is that your texture may not be legible throughout the flyer.
11. Does the background make sense for your event? Microsoft comes with a huge selection of themes and you can even download more from their website.
14. Step 2… Once you select your background, you can select your font. Size & Style matter. This is 18 point Calibri font. This is 18 point Parchment font. This is 18 point Wide Latin font. This is 18 point Harlow Solid Italic font. This is 18 point Papyrus font. This is 18 point Waker font. This is 18 point Blsckadder font. This is 18 point Boopee font. This is 18 point Earwig Factory font. This is 18 point Hurry Up font. This is 18 point chiller font. This is 18 point Gautami font. This is 18 point Kredit font. This is 18 point Ravie font. This is 18 point Pupcat font. This is 18 point Magneto font. This is 18 point Sybil Green font. This is 18 point Planet Benson font. This is 18 point Jokerman font.
16. Step 3… Once you have everything just as you like it you need to save your work. Save the slide as a JPEG to make your texture. Save as Type and choose JPEG from the drop down menu. You’ll be asked if you want to do every slide. I generally pick just the one I’m working with and name it something easy to remember.
