— Use only essential
info

hierarchy, color
— Use big, legible fonts
and framing blank
space
19. 19
Displaying Text
• Use bullets
• Use short phrases
• Use grammatical parallelism
a
Not THAT kind
of bullets!!!
Let me explain . . .
20. 20
Use Bullets: Tips
• Bullets help audience skim the slide
• Bullets help audience see relationships
between information points
• For example, this is Main Point 1,
which leads to...
— Sub-point 1
— Sub-point 2
(To get back to previous level: use “promote” or
“demote” arrows at top)
21. 21
Bullets: Your Turn
• To use bullets…
— Select the “bulleted list” or “two-column
list” slide (from the 12 pre-designed slide
formats)
— Type a phrase then hit “return”
— Type a second phrase, hit “return” then
hit “tab”
— OR use “promote” or “demote” arrows at
top to create a bulleted hierarchy
22. 22
Bullets: Your Turn
• To use bullets
— Go to “format” and then “bullet”
— Select the style, color, and size of the
bullets you’ll use
— OR highlight text you wish to bullet and
select the bullet button at top
23. 23
Use Short Phrases: Tips
• Use phrases in your slide show
outline
• Write complete sentences only in
certain cases:
— Hypothesis
— ???
• Generate phrases that make your
point clearly and accurately
• Use slide show as an outline for your
talk, not as a script
24. 24
Use Parallelism
• Make text easy for your audience to
skim by creating phrases / sentences
that are grammatically parallel
• Create parallel text by making items
in a list the same grammatical form
25. 25
Grammatical Parallelism
• Not Parallel:
Criteria to Assess Alarm System
— Price
— Effectiveness
— How easily the alarm could be installed
• Parallel:
Criteria to Assess Alarm System
— Price
— Effectiveness
— Ease of installation
26. 26
Use Parallelism
• Not Parallel:
— Lyse cells in buffer
— 5 minute centrifuging
— Supernatant is removed
• Parallel:
— Lyse cells in buffer
— Centrifuge for 5 minutes
— Remove supernatant
27. 27
Parallelism: Your Turn
• Make the following list of sub-points
parallel:
• Reliable data collection relies upon:
— Consistent use of techniques (pipetting,
making solutions)
— Correctly calibrated equipment, such as
balances and pipettors
— Researcher bias is minimized
(expecting data to fit model; conflict of
interest)
29. 29
Displaying Visuals: Tips
• Select visuals purposefully
— What visuals illustrate a point? Make
a claim? Help to prove an argument?
• Design easy-to-read visuals
— Are the visuals easy to read by all
members of your audience?
• Draw attention to aspects of visuals
— How will you draw attention to certain
features of the visual?
30. 30
Displaying Visuals
• Insert needed visuals
• Use color
• Resize appropriately
• Draw attention
That was purely
gratuitous!
31. 31
Insert Visuals
• Insert images using “Insert” then
“picture”
• Decide whether the image you wish
to insert is “clip art” or from a “file”
(on disk or on hard drive)
32. 32
Choose Color Carefully
Similar intensities
draw attention but make
details hard to see.
Strong, clean contrast
draws attention, makes
details easy to see
33. 33
Resize Images: How to . . .
• Click on the visual you wish to
resize
• Go to “format” and then “object” or
“autoshape”
• Select “size”
• Change size and scale
• OR simply click and
drag the corners of the image
34. 34
Simplify and Draw Attention

Animating: Tips
• Custom animation allows you to
animate text, visuals, or line work
• Custom animation should be used
purposefully (and sparingly!)

comprehend your message
— Don’t animate solely for aesthetic
purposes
37. 37

• Design slide with grouped
items
• Go to “slide show” and select
“animation” and “custom”
• Select item(s) to animate
