14. Modifying a Presentation
A bulleted list is a list of “paragraphs” with a special character to the left of each paragraph
Bulleted item
First-level bullet
Second-level bullet
Subbullet
A numbered list is a list of paragraphs that are numbered consecutively on the slide
In all your presentations, you should follow the 6 x 6 rule as much as possible: Keep each bulleted item to no more than six words, and don’t include more than six bulleted items on a slide

15. Creating Effective Text Presentations
Think of your text presentation as a visual map of your oral presentation. Show your organization by using overviews, making headings larger than subheadings, and including bulleted lists to highlight key points and numbered steps to show sequences
Follow the 6 × 6 rule: Use six or fewer items per screen, and use phrases of six or fewer words. Omit unnecessary articles, pronouns, and adjectives
Keep phrases parallel. For example, if one bulleted item starts with a verb, all the other bulleted items should start with a verb. Or, if one bulleted list is a complete sentence, all the items should be complete sentences
Make sure your text is appropriate for your purpose and audience

26. Checking the Spelling in a Presentation
Before you print or present a slide show, you should always perform a final check of the spelling of all the slides in your presentation

The other type is called contextual spelling, which checks the context in which a word is used
