9. 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.

10. 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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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
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
