Presentation Transcript
Instructions when building your PowerPoint 1. Do not use this instruction slide in your presentation. Delete this slide and all slides below before finalising your presentation. 2. To make a slide, click on New slide in the Ribbon. Then right click on the slide as it appears in the panel to the left of screen and select Layout. Choose the layout you want to apply. This will apply a Master Layout to your slide - whichever layout you have selected. Alternatively, right-click Insert slide and select a layout simultaneously. 3. Formatting rules: Keep text size a minimum of 18pts Calibri font and where possible, colour #0031A7 (RGB 0,49,167) Dark Blue, Text 2 or Black. Headings should be 32pts and colour #0031A7 Dark Blue, Text 2 or Black. Only use the colours in the Theme Colours. Do a Review > Spelling check. 4. A selection of icons is available for cutting and pasting into your own slides. If you want to change the colour of an icon select icon and change icon using Shape Fill and/or Shape Outline (it will depend on how the icon was built so try each). 5. There are four example layout slides below, just for ideas. Each of these example slides has the words Example layout # in the top left corner. Duplicate the slide you wish to use and delete the words Example layout #. Move the new slide up into your presentation and edit as needed. Delete all the example slides below these instructions before you finalise your presentation. 2
