  4. Text for Retention • Highlighting specific texts aids in retaining not only the information highlighted, but the entire page. • Highlighting is best used for stressing points but also for assisting in mentally cataloguing or arranging the information for the reader.

  5. Timing • Study of timing of information shows that presentation of information is most effective when it is received 7 seconds prior to the accompanying.

  7. Text is Important • Text should be in standard fonts • Text should be limited to no more than 7 bullets on a slide • Text should be of a font size that is readily readable. • Use bullets and encourage the reader to scan to the most important item.

  8. Pictures • No more than one picture per slide • Picture should always be on point • If picture needs a legend to understand, be sure to provide it
