Content – your PowerPoint• Make sure the content you create is easy to see. • Keep background templates simple so that they

(no smaller than a 12 point standard font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman).
• Use visuals whenever possible especially for complex processes or procedures.
• Avoid slide after slide of bulleted lists.
