a whole, but rather you must highlight everything
in the box, cut it, outline another text box and
paste what you cut, back into this new box. This
is really the only area where you might have
problems! In order to work within a previously
placed text box, click the text area once and
edit as with any other text. For the two quirky
outer columns you will have to click the half of
the text box which is closest to the two central
columns, in order for the text box to appear.
Analysis
Abstract
FIGURES All pictures, graphs etc. must be in
tif file form or they will not be read properly
by the Designjet printer used across campus. An
example of a tif file used is found below.

Purpose To establish a poster layout which will
most suitably represent the school and its
research. Method You will require the
appropriate postscript driver for windows Power
Point 4.0 and print drivers for the HPdesignjet
printer at environmental studies. All of the
above are available from Mario. It is also
helpful to have a high resolution monitor with a
1024x768 video card and at least 256 colors.
Excel for easily transferable graphs and Paint
Shop Pro for windows, for converting graphic
formats (Power point prefers tif). Please not
that the power point postscript programming is
incorrect and the sizing must be changed to
36x60. (pls ask Mario to change this for you).
Please remember that this is a layout program
and although this is a template it is not fixed,
and you may manipulate it as you see fit.. It is
only limited by your creativity. To begin ensure
that the slide is set up as follows select
slide setup under file and size the slides
to custom, then set width to 56 inches and
height to 36 inches. It should be noted from
the start that power point does have some
limitations, which we must work around. The
lines provided at each side of the four columns
are there to act as guidelines for your layout.
Please delete these lines when you are finished
your poster.
Tables may be done one of two ways they may be
pieced together in power point or they may be
done in excel and inserted into the poster. Excel
is very easy to use.... simply open excel, create
your table, highlight and copy it and paste it in
power point. Here you may shrink or enlarge it to
the required size. Excel will not allow you any
fancy borders and it has limited colors, but
these can be compensated for in power point. In
order to achieve the effects noted below (see
poster in hall near rm 217), you must first paste
the basic Excel spreadsheet section. The
spreadsheet should have the following 1) The
required number of columns with the desired width
2) Highlight the entire spreadsheet layout and
click a thin border around the outside, highlight
the subtitle row and click borders to add a
thin border on the bottom of this row, highlight
each entire column in order to add a thin border
separating the columns. 3) Highlight the
subtitle row and give it a fill of white,
highlight every second row or grouping of
information and fill it with white. 4) Ensure
that the other regions have no fill color 5)
Move the mouse to tools then to options and
then click on the view card and make sure that
guidelines is not Xed. Once you have
pasted the table in power point, you may change
the sizing by dragging the corner out, in order
to maintain the size ratio. Next, select the
table by clicking it once (it may already be
selected) then select the line style button and
chose the double line with the thicker line on
top, now select the fill color button and fill
it with the color of your choice. Please note
that we have found this beige to be a very
effective color. You can achieve this color by
selecting other color under fill and choosing
the color at row 2 column 4 and then selecting
more colors and moving the arrow towards the
white by two color steps. Either way you will
gain an alternating color table.

As far as the two corner crests are concerned,
the Waterloo crest has been imported from a tif
file image supplied by Mario and other crests are
available. You can import this and other tif
images into the poster by clicking insert and
then picture. Always be sure to examine the
final poster at a zoom of 100, please note that
at anything lower than 100 you do not see the
text, objects, etc. in the true places...dont be
fooled, always view the section at 100 to be
sure and then go back and work at 25.
Sample
Some helpful hints on where some of the tools are
hidden in powerpoint View you want this to be
set at slides Insert use picture for
inserting all images Format use font to apply
superscript and subscript use bullet to
select a unique color for your bullets use
line spacing to change the spacing of the
section you are working on use change case
to change the case easily Draw use send to
back and bring to front to move objects
andtext boxes to appropriate positions. turn
off snap to grid if you find you can't line
things up properly There are also a set of
guidelines in the tool bar to help line things up
properly
Conclusions
There are two general ways to print this poster
out. The first is on the small 8.5 X 11. This
is done by selecting print then printer then
options then options. At the second option
you only need to change the scaling to 18 then
hit OK. At the first option if everything is set
up properly you dont need to change anything.
At the printer option, chose research. Once back
at the general print option, ensure that slides
is chosen. Then print!
Introduction

The title is straight forward enough, simply
highlight it and place your own in the space.
You may change the text color by highlighting the
text, choosing the text color button and
selecting a color. If you want to change the
color of any of the blue boxes, simply click the
box once, then go to fill color and chose a
color. The blue subtitle headings may be
placed anywhere by holding down the left mouse
button and dragging it to the desired location.
Helvetica font of various sizes appears to be
the most effective text. Under each subtitle we
have included one text box with helvetica, size
28. You may use the text boxes provided or you
can add your own. You create a text box by
clicking the text tool and lining the tool up
with the left guideline of a column. Hold down a
second click in order to drag a text box out to
the right guideline. This effort will be
effective for the two central columns. One limit
of power point arises here. For the two outer
columns you will notice that part of the text box
will not show up. This is due to the program
itself, however it will still allow you to type
and edit in the area that you indicated. You can
expect these two columns to become very quirky.
You will not be able to move the box as
References
After checking the poster at 100 zoom and doing
an overall check on an 18 small sheet print out,
print the poster out in large size on the HP
designjet printer found in Graphic services, rm
277 in Environmental Studies, extension 3003. To
print first select slide setup and ensure the
settings are correct. Next select print then
chose printer and select the HPdesignjet, then
chose options and ensure that output format is
postscript, paper source is only one and
paper size is 36 X60. Select OK, then after
checking that it is still on HPdesignjet, select
OK, then select slides and press OK. The cost
of the will be about 25.

Good Luck! If you experience any trouble, feel
free to contact Dr. Flanagan or Tanya Flood
(Yr.2). Expect to leave 1-2 weeks for complete
setup of the poster.
