MYTH or FACT
Serifs (fonts with feet) are the best for PowerPoint because the little cap or foot makes text easier to read.

Big Top Tip #3 Fonts
ALWAYS use LARGE text size!! Do NOT use automatic font OR
sizeUse Sans Serif If slide is too crowded... Use TWO slides, do not reduce text
size!!!
![Page 34: Before the Session Begins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568163d8550346895dd528a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• People tend to put every word they are going to say on their PowerPoint slides. And yet, PowerPoint slides are often cluttered with unnecessary words. This makes the text both harder to see and more difficult to absorb.
• Although using a lot of words eliminates the need to memorize your information, ultimately this makes your slides crowded, wordy, and boring. You will lose your audience’s attention before you even reach the bottom of your . . .

Maybe use
bullets????

On each slide …• Limit the
number of items
• Make just one or two points
![Page 41: Before the Session Begins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568163d8550346895dd528a1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Use BULLETS to show a list WITHOUT

Use NUMBERS for lists WITH sequenceFor example:How do you put an elephant into a fridge?1.Open the door of the fridge2.Put the elephant in3.Close the door
Numbers? Bullets?

PowerPoint Tips• Your PowerPoint presentation is an aid not the
presentation in itself.• If you have a slide with more than five bullets
include them in a new slide.• Make just major points with bullets your
audience cannot read too much information from a slide, consider using handouts!
• Never read from your presentation.
![Page 47: Before the Session Begins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568163d8550346895dd528a1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Minimize numbers• PowerPoint's lure is the capacity to convey ideas
and support a speaker’s remarks in a concise manner.
• That’s hard to do through a haze of numbers and statistics.
• Most effective PowerPoints don’t overwhelm viewers with too many figures and numbers.
• Instead, leave them for more thorough digestion in handouts distributed at the presentation’s end.
![Page 48: Before the Session Begins](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568163d8550346895dd528a1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• Serif fonts are the most difficult to read on screen• Sanserif fonts are clearer because they are not
fuzzy to the viewer• Italics are difficult to read on screen because the
letters run into each other.• Underlines may signify hyperlinks so be careful
when you use them• Instead, use colors to emphasise important
words or key points you want the audience to remember
