How To Create An Effective Presentation - Part 2 Of 4

by Geetesh Bajaj


Step 4

Content

Content includes text, font, charts, pictures, music, video, graphs, etc.

Let's consider text first - although text is the most important part of any presentation, try to keep it in small doses - use direct speech, bullets, concise information, etc. Create the text outlines in a word processor - make sure that the progression of slides has a flow to it.

Now, about slide backgrounds - how they reflect on projectors or monitors - about colour combinations and corporate identities.

Avoid fluorescent and very bright coloured backgrounds. Consider the type of graphs, charts and flow diagrams you require. Double-check all the figures and statistics before you create them and be sure to use colours that would suit the overall theme of your presentation.

Yes, because if you want to modify and edit a .pps file, you can do the following:

a) Right-click in the file icon holding down the shift key (if you have Windows Millennium you will not need to hold it down).

b) Choose "Open with..." from the context menu

c) Select "PowerPoint" from the "Open With" dialog box


Otherwise, you can also

a) right-click on the file icon

b) choose "Rename"

c) replace ".pps" with ".ppt".
