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.
