Creating an Effective Presentation

• Minimize – Keep slide counts to a minimum to maintain a clear

message and to keep the audience attentive.
• Clarity – Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to read.
A font size of 72 is about an inch. A one-inch letter is readable 10 feet
away; a two-inch letter is readable 200 feet away.
• Simplicity – Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the
information on the screen to have your audience focus on what the
speaker is saying than on reading the slide Limit the content to six
lines and seven words per line. This is know as the 6x7 rule.
• Visuals – Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many
to distract the audience. In addition, instead of using a table of data,
use charts and graphics.
• Consistency – Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font
style and backgrounds.
• Contrast – Use light font on dark background or vice versa.
Using Hyperlinks in Microsoft PowerPoint:
a. Existing File or Web Page – creates a hyperlink to website or a local
file saved in your hard drive. Just browse your file in the dialog box
or type the web address.
b. Place in This Document – creates a hyperlink that allows you to jump
to a specific slide in your presentation.
c. Create a New Document – creates a hyperlink that once clicked,
creates a new document on your specified location.
d. E-mail Address – creates a hyperlink that opens Microsoft Outlook
that automatically adds your specified recipient on a new email.
