2. ISSM 2010 PPT Template
This template should only be used for on-screen presentations. Using the other templates for on-screen or PC projected presentations may result colors that appear too dark when projected and an image area that does not fill the screen. Conversely, this template should not be used for 35mm slides as it is not set up to the correct aspect ratio for that application.
This template may also be used for overheads, with some modifications: Change the background to clear and text color to bright or dark colors for better visibility.
Use this template to develop your presentation for ISSM.
Each oral session speaker is allowed 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute question and answer period.
Limit your presentation to a maximum of 10 slides, including the title slide.
Keep it simple!
Additional instructions for the use of this template may be

7. Column Graph Example Units Shipped 1991 1992 Column graph.
Column and bar graphs should always be two dimensional. Three dimensional graphs, although sometimes attractive, tend to make it harder for your audience to quickly comprehend the data being presented.
Note: No tick marks are used on the horizontal axis on column graphs.
Financial data should always be depicted in green. (Red for negative data points.)
