Sample Title Arial Bold 22 Point Subtitle is Arial, 20 Point, Title Case First-level text should be 18 point Arial Bold, with round bullets in CSC Red Second-level text should be 18 point Arial Plain with an en-dash bullet in CSC red (Red 238, Green 037, Blue 037) Third-level text should be 18 point Arial Plain with a round bullet set at 80% in CSC red Fourth-level text should be 18 point Arial Plain with a double caret bullet in CSC red Callout text is dark blue, Arial Black, 14 point, left justified, .85 line spacing. Use sentence capitalization and end sentences with a period.
Text, Typography, and Style Guidelines Body text and bullets should be flush left beginning at this top point on the slide Bullets should use sentence style capitalization with no periods at the end of each entry. If there is more than one sentence per bullet, the last sentence does not have a period Tabular information and labels on charts and diagrams are generally initial-word-capped Spell out “and” unless the ampersand is part of a proper name “Cont’d” is the standard abbreviation for “continued” and should be placed in parentheses
Text and Style Guidelines (Cont’d) Always insert a space before an ellipse (…) Use em-dashes (—) and hyphens (-) appropriately En-dashes (–) should not be substituted for em-dashes Correct punctuation errors before finalizing Do not double space after periods — use a single space Maintain consistency in number treatments, abbreviations, acronyms, etc. When needed, client logos or government seals are set in the lower left corner, flush left. Client logos should be sized to look equal in size/weight to the CSC logo. Place the logo being used on the Slide Master when you want it to appear on all slides. Client Logo
Formatting and Style Guidelines (Cont’d) Do not double space after periods For extra keyboard characters use the Insert/Symbol command under menu items to access the correct character Use K to denote thousands, M for millions, and B for billions In tables, use single lines over subtotals; use double lines for totals: PowerPoint tab formatting capabilities are limited; unlike Word, individual lines of text cannot be uniquely formatted. Columns of information should be set in individual text boxes to facilitate the cutting and pasting of data from Excel and Word documents Text Box 1 Text Box 2 Text Box 3 Item A Item B Subtotal Item C Total $100K $200K $300K $400K Item A Item B Subtotal Item C Total $100K $200K $300K $400K $500K $100K $600K $200K $800K Example Example
Incorporating Graphics into Your Presentation Inserting photos or graphics into slides can add to the overall impact of your message Some images are available at the CSC online photo library, accessible through http://styleguide.csc.com/photolibrary/ All images must be professional and pertinent. No cartoons, stick-figure drawings, or clip art may be used When importing images, set files in an RGB or indexed color palette at 120 ppi (pixels or dots per inch) and save them in either .gif or .jpg file format Note that 72 ppi is acceptable if you are planning to display the image only on screen and not print it
