Helpful Hints

• Choose dark backgrounds for the presentations you
  plan to project to an audience.
• Use effects (sounds, animations) sparingly --
  screeching brakes and a few others can really
  get on your nerves as well as your teachers.
• Limit text to 6 - 8 lines per slide.
• Limit fonts to 32 - 28 point -- dont go smaller
  as its too hard to read.

28
MORE HINTS...

• You just have to play around with the program to
  find the effect you really want.
• Anything can be changed if you dont like it.
• Work on getting your text down and how you want
  to present it first. Then add the extras.

29
Even More Hints.

• Limit your students to a few pictures sounds
  because they may run out of space.
• If saving pictures save as JPEG, GIF, or
  BITMAP.
• When printing - check out your options first.
• Not all music and sounds will work with
  PowerPoint - wav files work the best.
