Pointers on Powerpoints
From GersteinInfo
Jump to navigationJump to search
- Number Slides
- Make a secondary PDF when mailing to a list
- For a template use the initial slides from any of the recent lectures on http://lectures.gersteinlab.org/summary (e.g. http://lectures.gersteinlab.org/summary/ismb08pub-20080723-textmining)
- Don't use slide animations (makes it hard to convert into PDF)
- Use Ariel or Helvetica (or Times) if possible. (Don't use "Calibri" which doesn't convert well between mac and windows.)
- For more tips see: http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00281.htm
- Use a white background.
- Try to put references on slides -- e.g. "[Jones et al. (2009) Genome Res.]"
