How to Use PowerPoint If You Absolutely Have To

• Michael Berta

10
Fonts and Font Sizes

• Make your font size uniform
• DO NOT USE ALL CAPS!
• Use Sans Serif Fonts for on Screen Presentations
• Use Serif Fonts for printed or small screen
  presentations
• Use basic and uniform fonts

11
Use of Text

• Do not use paragraphs or text in prose to
  describe your point. Simple, easy-to-read bullets
  accent your speech and add impact to your
  presentation. Using full paragraphs or long
  sentences will distract the audience as they try
  to interpret the message you are trying to
  convey. This gets complicated as you type more
  text and the font size decreases to make room for
  your words. Again, simple, easy-to-read bullets
  do the trick and are more effective.
