Choosing Font Style – Part 1 : 

Choosing Font Style – Part 1 Arial, Verdana, or Tahoma This is Arial 28 pt and you can easily read it. This is Tahoma 28 pt. This is Verdana 28 pt and it is very easy to read when projected.

Choosing Font Style – Part 2: 

Choosing Font Style – Part 2 Times New Roman or Courier Times New Roman 28 pt is difficult to read. Courier 28 pt is very thin, even disconnected, when presented with a low quality projector.

Choosing Font Style – Part 3: 

Choosing Font Style – Part 3 “Welcome to Jane’s World” is in Comic Sans 32 pt is a good font for a PLAYFUL presentation “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” is in Chiller 32 pt and is difficult to read. It is a FUN font but use it sparingly and for emphasis. Word Art is good…

Choosing Font Size: 

Choosing Font Size Make sure lettering is big enough that people in the back of a room can read it.

Chunking Text: 

Chunking Text Reading many lines of text tires the audience out and distracts their attention from you and the excellent points you are making. “Chunk” information. I think four lines of text is enough in a chunk. If you are listing bullets of information as you are suppose to be doing in a PowerPoint presentation you shouldn’t have this problem.

Using Bullets – Part 1: 

Using Bullets – Part 1 Type phrases not sentences Maintain parallel structure Use the 666 Rule 6 words per bullet 6 bullets per slide 6 word slides in a row
