Basic Power Point Guidelines

The document provides guidelines for preparing effective PowerPoint presentations. It outlines basic rules such as using contrasting colors for text and backgrounds, limiting text on slides, and placing graphics off-center to allow more space for text. Too much information on slides can distract audiences from the speaker; it is better to list only key points and provide elaboration verbally. Choosing an easy-to-read font and font size, using bullet points, and sticking to a consistent style are also recommended.
