Text on slides

Do not try to put every word you are going to say

on your PowerPoint slide. Although it can be used

for not remembering your talk, ultimately this

makes your presentation boring, wordy and hard to

understand. You will lose your audience’s attention

Graphics and charts


201122

Think before paste an object. If you have chosen a place once, try to continue with pasting images in the same position.

During all your presentation – what is more important: figure or text? It is principal.

Use optimal size, think of color, and...

NEVER do like this.

CWA


201125

FE can understand these CWA but JFE cannot. IMHO

I bet you cannot too.

Pointless sequence of letters
