Slides To make sure that an existing slide will be readable, hold the slide out to the light at arm's length. If you can read the slide, then the audience should be able to read it as well. To determine if a certain chart or graph would make a readable slide, view it from a distance equivalent to eight times its height. Guard against overloading the slide with too much information. Simplify and create more slides, if necessary.
Horizontal slides allow for better audience viewing than vertical slides.
The thumbspot with the number upside down should be on the lower left corner of the slide as you read it. This will result in the thumbspot being in the upper right corner when slides are loaded correctly into the slide tray. On the equipment request form, be sure to check the box telling us whether your laptop is IBM-compatible or Macintosh. At the meeting, it is important that you check in at the Audiovisual Desk to verify compatibility settings with the LCD projector. Please introduce yourself to him or her before your session and explain that you will be giving a laptop presentation.
