Things to take note on your slides

Things to take note while doing your slides on Microsoft Office Powerpoint

While you are doing your powerpoint slides for the users, you must remember some of these rules. These rules are very important in helping your users in their learning.

· Keep it clean

· Keep it lean

· Keep it easy

· Sometimes less is more

· Rule of 5 x 5 / Rule of 6 x 6 / Rule of 7 x 7

For the powerpoint slides, the type of font used is very important too. Some types of font (such as Arial) are more legible for screen presentation, whereas some types of font (such as Times New Roman) are more appropriate for printed text. Therefore, it is advisable to use Arial if you are coming up powerpoint slides for the users.

The lettering of the words must take note too. Normally, lower case of words is easier to read than upper case of words. Moreover, upper case of words implies yelling. So, you should use lower case when you are typing out the words in powerpoint slides. Next, the size of the words should never go below 24 when creating a presentation. If the size is below 24, some users might find it too small and hard to read. They then would not absorb any information from the powerpoint slides.
