minutes for talk, 3 minutes for questions
• Each slide should have a title
• In “File->Page Setup…” window specify:– Slides sized for: “On Screen Show”– Slide orientation: Landscape

Common Problems
Unreadable visual aids is a frequent complaint from attendees.
Follow these guidelines to avoid the most common pitfalls:
1. Too much information on a single slide. A common mistake is to use reduced font sizes to make room for more words. If you can’t read your lettering from 10’ away from a laptop display (15’ from larger monitors), then most of your audience will have problems.
2. Bad color contrast. Colors that look good on your monitor do not necessarily view well when projected.

Special Fonts and Symbols
• Special fonts, symbols, bullets can cause problems if they are not installed on the projection computer
• Watch out for:– Wingdings, Monotype Sorts– Scientific symbol fonts, Asian language fonts– MS Line Draw
• Can embed TrueType fonts in file:– Select “Tools->Save Options->Embed TrueType
Fonts” from the dialog box that appears when the “File->Save As…” menu is selected.

Contrast
• High contrast very important
• Use light lines/text on a dark background– Foreground: White, yellow, light cyan– Background: Black, dark blue, dark brown– Caution: Red, orange or blue lettering and
lines become unreadable when projected

Display Speed
• Slides should display instantly
• Do not distract the audience with slow
transition effects
• Avoid overuse of slow graphics, fonts and
special effects
![Page 11: Computer Projection Presentation Guide 2010 HPS Midyear Topical Meeting Albuquerque, NM 11/04/09](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e865503460f94b8870b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transitions Between Slides
• In general, special animation should not be
used when changing from one slide to
another– Usually highly distracting to audience– Use only as special attention getter
• Default settings should be:– Effect: No transition– Speed: Fast– Advance: On mouse click
![Page 12: Computer Projection Presentation Guide 2010 HPS Midyear Topical Meeting Albuquerque, NM 11/04/09](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e865503460f94b8870b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Transitions Between Lines
• Can be highly effective
• Focus attention on a specific line of a slide
• Dim previous lines for more emphasis on
current line
• Transitions should be instantaneous
• Be consistent

Presenting Information: Diagrams
• Keep diagrams simple
• Easy to view
• Make text readable
• Use all space in rectangle
• Example follows:

Some Bad Examples, or “How to Annoy the Audience”
• Overuse transition effects
• Focus the audience on your slides, not the speaker
• Try to use every feature PowerPoint has to offer
• The next slide shows examples of bad practices that
should be avoided:– Bad slide layout– Improper color use– Transition effects gone mad
![Page 18: Computer Projection Presentation Guide 2010 HPS Midyear Topical Meeting Albuquerque, NM 11/04/09](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022072014/56649e865503460f94b8870b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• This slide has no title. Titles help guide the audience through the talk. All slides except photographs should have a title.
• The type on this slide is too small. It’s readable here, but when projected, only the presenter and maybe those in the front rows will be able to read it. Those in the back will be completely lost.
• USE OF ALL CAPITAL LETTERS OR ITALICS ALSO MAKES SLIDES DIFFICULT TO READ.
• Use dark backgrounds with light letters!
• This slide would be easier to follow if indentations were used.
• Don’t design your slides to stand alone. They are a guide to your presentation. If they were understandable by themselves, we could just publish them and forget about presentations! Your slides support what you say, they don’t replace it.
• This slide has too many words and too many points. Keep your slides under nine lines.
• Distracting transition effects!
