1. VA RUSLE2 Guidance Series: Tips for Viewing RUSLE2 Guidance in Powerpoint Format February 9, 2005 Chris Lawrence, NRCS Agronomist 804/287-1680 or chris.lawrence@va.usda.govchris.lawrence@va.usda.gov

2. Purpose & Applicability This slideshow offers tips on how to get the most out of RUSLE2 instructions and guidance in Powerpoint format. If you have Powerpoint experience, you can probably skip this.

3. Start by Viewing Slideshow I recommend quickly running through an entire slideshow once before implementing its instructions. This will give you a general overview of what is involved before you start working. It will also give you a sense of whether or not it is worth printing the slideshow.

4. To start slideshow, click here

5. One advantage of starting the slideshow is that you can click directly on links to other documents, locations, or websites Move forward or back through the slideshow by hitting “Page Down” or “Page Up”

6. To end the slideshow, hit “Esc” in the top left corner of your keyboard

7. Printing Options If desired, you can print Powerpoint slides Printing slides (one per page) makes small print easier to read, but uses more paper. Printing handouts (two or more slides per page) makes small print harder to read, but saves paper. I recommend this option. See following examples…

8. To print one slide per page Select “Slides”

9. Begin the import process by selecting “Import RUSLE2 database” from the Database menu To print multiple slides per page Select “Handouts” Select the number of slides per page desired
