THEN...

Ways To View & Edit
POWERPOINT Slides...
Click “View” or the “Icons” at bottom left hand
side of each slide.
Slide - one at a time
Outline - written text in outline form
Slide Sorter - you can view all slides at one time
and move slides around
Notes Page - You can write notes as to what
you might say
Slide Show - you can see how it all works
together
Helpful Hints:
Choose dark backgrounds for the presentations
you plan to project to an audience.
Use effects (sounds, animations) sparingly -“screeching brakes” and a few others can really
get on your nerves as well as your teachers.
Limit text to 6 - 8 lines per slide.
Limit fonts to 32 - 28 point -- don’t go smaller
as it’s too hard to read.
MORE HINTS...
You just have to play around with the
program to find the effect you really want.
Anything can be changed if you don’t like
it.
Work on getting your text down and how
you want to present it first. Then add the
extras.
Even More Hints….
Limit your students to a few pictures & sounds
because they may run out of space.
If saving pictures save as “JPEG”, “GIF”, or
“BITMAP”.
When printing - check out your options first.
Not all music and sounds will work with
PowerPoint - wav files work the best.
