Nine steps to Powerpoint magic
- jwilliams 18y agoGood points... 10. Don't use too many colours. Three is about right. 11. Don't use too many bulletpoints. People just gloss over them in the end... There is a tendency to use them to cram as much information into a slide as possible. This never works, people just don't absorb it. A statement and a picture that you talk to works many times better. 12. Make the title of each slide (together) read like a story. A lot of people will just flip through a deck, reading the headline and glancing at the picture. People that print out PPTs almost always do this first. It also helps you structure your slides a lot better. 13. Get PowerPoint 2007+ if you can. I'm not obsessed with Office upgrades as a rule, but this is one product in the Office suite that is much better in later versions.
