Powerpoint Tips - Simple is Best

Here are some tips to keep your powerpoint presentation simple, yet effective:

* Label each slide with a clear heading which indicates the key focus of the slide
* Under the heading, use bullet points and phrases rather than lengthy sentence
* Include no more than six points per slide
* Consider using progressive disclosure (animation) so that your listeners focus on one point at a time
* Each point should be no more than 8-10 words in length
* Allow 15-20 seconds scan time for each slide
* Time slide changes for approximately every 40-60 seconds to maintain audience interest
* Leave a decent sized top, bottom, left and right margin or you may lose parts of your text
