how to use power point

1. How to Use Power Point Effectively

2. Use the Outline View first The most important part of any presentation is the content, not the graphical appeal.

4. Use a big enough font When deciding what font size to use in your presentation, make sure it is big enough so that the audience can read it.

5. Stop the moving text When text comes on the screen, we want the audience to read the text, then focus back on the presenter to hear the message I suggest the use of the "Appear" effect, which just makes the text appear and is the easiest for the audience to read.

7. There is a free program (downloaded from the Microsoft web site) called the PowerPoint viewer which can be a great tool for presenters. It was developed so that if someone did not have the PowerPoint program, they would still be able to view and print the slides in your presentation. It is much smaller than the full program because it does not have the ability to edit the slides, only view or print. Use the PowerPoint Viewer to Present

8. Have Slides at the End of Your Presentation The last slide you speak to should not be the last slide in your presentation file. You should have three identical copies of your last speaking slide so that if you accidentally advance one too many times at the end of your presentation, your audience never knows because you don’t drop into the program, the slide looks like it has not changed.
