  1. PowerPoint for Scientific Presentations A Hands-On Workshop Medical University of South CarolinaJames H. NicholsonMarch 27, 2002

  2. D.O.A. Most bad presentations started that way; without a clear concept of exactly what the presenter wanted to say.

  3. Planning the Presentation • Who is the audience and what do they already know? • What information do they really need to leave with? • Everything else is irrelevant

  4. I am going to give you a long speech today I didn’t have time to prepare a short one Winston Churchill

  5. Things you should NEVER say in an oral presentation • I apologize for this slide….. • I don’t really want you to read this slide….. • This isn’t something you need to remember…… • You already know this.. • THEN FIX IT • THEN DON’T SHOW IT • THEN DON’T WASTE MY TIME WITH IT

  6. Basic PowerPoint Steps • Format presentation • Enter text • Insert • Images • Tables • Graphs • Set up presentation • Output and storage

  7. Setting the Look • Use the MASTER slide to set: • Colors • Fonts • Style • Save style as .pot file

  8. 1. Set Up Master Slide • Go to View- Master – Slide Master • Change the background • Change the font and font color • Insert “logosm.bmp” in the upper right corner and size appropriately • When finished – go to View – Normal to return to the slide you were working on

  9. WARNING !!! • Fonts have to be present on the presentation computer in order to display correctly • Use basic “universal” fonts • Arial • Times New Roman • Greek symbols can be a problem! • Create and present with the same computer • Or test run your presentation

  10. (As Presented) Comic Sans Symbols (Symbol) Broadway Brush Script Beesknees Curlz Old English Text Font Wars Any difference between the fonts (as typed) and (as presented) represent a font that is not available on the presentation computer

  11. Creating Text Slides • Slide layouts • Relative formatting X Different from word processing • Bullets • Promoting/demoting text X Don’t use tab • Cut & paste • Text boxes

  12. Make a Bullet List of Things You Like in a Presentation • Click to add text • Enter another line • Demote • Demote again • Promote • Promote Again

  13.

  14. Text Tips • Use phrases • Present the essentials • Use your oral presentation to: • Elaborate, explain, illuminate • Dazzle, amaze, amuse • That at least justifies your presence • Reading the slides to your audience is boring and insulting

  15. Memory by AssociationThe Audio Visual Effect • We remember things by association. • Every piece of information in our memory is connected to other pieces in some way • Information that is presented as both audio AND visual is better remembered • One image can only support one concept

  16. Adding Images • Graphic files • Photos • Line art • Clip art • Drawing

  17. Image Sizes • PowerPoint • 1024 x 768 – LCD projector • Note: physical size of 7.5 x 10 makes dropping the image easier into the PowerPoint format

  22. Clip Art (Vector Graphics) • “Drawing” files • Resolution is independent of size • Can be easily “taken apart” and edited • Small file size • Use .WMF

  23. Clip Art • Insert “chest.wmf” • Double click on picture • Convert to Microsoft Office Drawing Object • Use Draw – Ungroup to separate image into parts • Select one item and change color • Delete one part • 7. Draw a box around the image and use Draw - Regroup
