TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SLIDES Please do try and keep to the PRE-SET type sizes shown on slide 5. There is often a temptation to cram more text onto individual slides.

Do this by adding a soft return place your cursor at the point where you want the line to break, (eg after FOR in the above headline), and hold the shift key down whilst pressing return 8 TITLE OF THE PRESENTATION
