How to break it up

PRESENTATION LAYOUT

Basic structure

• Start with a Cover Slide using any of the three options: Ovals, Argyle or Geometric

• Use Section Breaks to divide the content– Title of the section break

is in all caps, 60 point• Use Large Quote Slides

throughout for emphasis• End with the Closing Slide

Content slides

• Text only example• Keep bullets short• Add an important point using the layout

“Text only with emphasis” and add your special point to the red section.–Text in the red box

is in all caps

IMPORTANT POINT

Image only slide

Formatting images

• Scale images using a corner dot only so the image is not distorted

• To crop an image: double click the image and select the crop tool from the menu bar. Drag the corners to crop in on the image.

WHEN PRESENTING TO AN EXTERNAL AUDIENCE,

CONTACT YOUR MARKETING CONSULTANT FOR SUPPORT.

Tips

• Keep your audience engaged using emphasis slides for section breaks and large quotes

• Use icons to illustrate your point• Use simple shapes for visual interest

Tips

• Page numbers are ONLY used when printing slides, NOT for presentations to be shown on-screen

• To print with slide numbers,

go to Insert>Header and Footer>Notes and Handouts, select page number and click “apply to all”

SELECT “NOTES AND HANDOUTS”, NOT “SLIDE”

USING THE TEMPLATE

Adding slides

• Do not copy and paste slides from other presentations unless they both use this template. Due to PowerPoint presets, your slide could reformat based on the other presentation defaults.

Adding slides

• To add a slide, select “New Slide” and select the style slide you need (Text, Section Break, Large Quote, etc.)

• To change the layout once your content is in (i.e. change from all text to text with a picture), select “Layout”
