Poor choices not only communicate poorly but also can distract from your message and you. Simplify general composition. Keep content short and simple. Use key words instead of complete sentences. Text on each slide should reflect the main points of your presentation.
Bulleted items can introduce or summarize key points.
Text should not reflect verbatim what you plan to say. Plan on spending 2 to 5 minutes or less verbally presenting the content of each slide. Don t squeeze too much information on the page. Five to seven words per line and five to seven lines per page is a good starting place. Twenty-five words per page is a good guideline.
