ArcView 3.3 Purpose This is the set of conventions to be used by authors when developing slides for course presentations. The goal is to provide a consistent framework within which authors and editors can easily generate and refine predictably formatted content, an identity that is easily recognizable from slide to slide and from course to course. Consistent application of changes Share your problems and solutions. If any of the conventions noted in this guide do not work, authors and editors should bring it to the attention of Mike Livingston. Authors and editors will revisit the conventions and change them as needed such that changes will be applied to all presentations thereafter. Created 10/10/97. Revised 10/20/97.
