3. Working with text
Powerpoint strengthens the power of your point.
It does not replace you.
Be brief: few lines, few words, point-form and clear graphics
Avoid big chunks of text
Use the recommended themes (colours) provided
Use Calibri font
Use green text (sparingly) for emphasis – the RGB values for our green are: R178 G187 B30
Try not to use more than two levels of bullets

4. Working with text This is a non-bulleted line; use as subtitle
This is a bulleted line, use it as body text (26 pts)
This is a sub-bullet; use it as the smallest text (22 pts)
Try not to go smaller than this; if you do you might face visibility problems
Use green bullets (embedded in the template)
Be consistent with upper and lower case text

5. Working with this template
Your presentation and the image of Douglas College are strengthened by following a few simple rules:
Use only the default background
Don’t crowd your slides, the overall look is as important as the content
Avoid gimmicky animations, sounds and clip art. They detract from the professionalism of your presentation.

6. Photos Simple image treatments are best
To format an image, right click on it and choose Format Picture
The image on the next slide has a 1.5 pt green border from the themes colour palette
Be consistent throughout your presentation
Pictures can cause file size to increase dramatically. Keep file sizes small by first selecting the image, then in the top Format menu, choose Compress Pictures.

12. Chart formatting and editing
There are 5 pre-formatted chart styles available
On the following slides, right-click on a chart to edit/update. It will open in chart edit. You can edit objects within the chart by selecting them and assigning attributes.
The Tab chart can just be edited by clicking on the numbers, you can add and delete rows and columns as needed by right clicking.
Changing and adding information is done in the Data Sheet that appears within the chart edit function.
Keep in mind the slides before and after the slide you’re editing. Your presentation will appear more seamless if the size and position of content is consistent.
