Abstract
Purpose: To establish a poster layout which will most suitably
represent the school and its research.
Method: You will require the appropriate postscript driver for
windows; Power Point 4.0; and print drivers for the HPdesignjet
printer at environmental studies. All of the above are available
from Mario. It is also helpful to have a high resolution monitor
with a 1024x768 video card and at least 256 colours.; Excel for
easily transferable graphs and Paint Shop Pro for windows, for
converting graphic formats (Power point prefers tif). Please not
that the power point postscript programming is incorrect and the
sizing must be changed to 36x60. (pls ask Mario to change this
for you).
Please remember that this is a layout program and although this
is a template it is not fixed, and you may manipulate it as you
see fit.. It is only limited by your creativity.
To begin: ensure that the slide is set up as follows: select “slide
setup” under “file” and “size the slides” to “custom”, then set
“width” to 56 inches and “height” to 36 inches.
It should be noted from the start that power point does have
some limitations, which we must work around.
The lines provided at each side of the four columns are there to
act as guidelines for your layout. Please delete these lines
when you are finished your poster.
Introduction
The title is straight forward enough, simply highlight it and place
your own in the space. You may change the text colour by
highlighting the text, choosing the “text colour” button and
selecting a colour. If you want to change the colour of any of the
blue boxes, simply click the box once, then go to “fill colour” and
chose a colour.
The blue subtitle headings may be placed anywhere by holding
down the left mouse button and dragging it to the desired
location.
Helvetica font of various sizes appears to be the most effective
text. Under each subtitle we have included one text box with
helvetica, size 28.
You may use the text boxes provided or you can add your own.
You create a text box by clicking the text tool and lining the tool
up with the left guideline of a column. Hold down a second click
in order to drag a text box out to the right guideline. This effort
will be effective for the two central columns. One limit of power
point arises here. For the two outer columns you will notice
that part of the text box will not show up. This is due to the
program itself, however it will still allow you to type and edit in
the area that you indicated. You can expect these two columns
to become very quirky. You will not be able to move the box as

a whole, but rather you must highlight everything in the box, cut
it, outline another text box and paste what you cut, back into this
new box. This is really the only area where you might have
problems! In order to work within a previously placed text box,
click the text area once and edit as with any other text. For the
two quirky outer columns you will have to click the half of the
text box which is closest to the two central columns, in order for
the text box to appear.
As far as the two corner crests are concerned, the Waterloo
crest has been imported from a “tif” file image supplied by Mario
and other crests are available. You can import this and other
“tif” images into the poster by clicking “insert” and then
“picture”.
Always be sure to examine the final poster at a zoom of
100%, please note that at anything lower than 100% you do
not see the text, objects, etc. in the true places...don’t be
fooled, always view the section at 100% to be sure and then
go back and work at 25%.
Sample
Some helpful hints on where some of the tools are hidden
in powerpoint:
View:
you want this to be set at “slides”
Insert: use “picture” for inserting all images
Format: use “font” to apply superscript and subscript
use “bullet” to select a unique colour for your bullets
use “line spacing” to change the spacing of the
section you are working on
use “change case” to change the case easily
Draw:
use “send to back” and “bring to front” to move objects
andtext boxes to appropriate positions.
turn off “snap to grid” if you find you can't line things
up
properly
There are also a set of guidelines in the tool bar to help line
things up properly

Tables may be done one of two ways: they may be pieced
together in power point or they may be done in excel and
inserted into the poster. Excel is very easy to use.... simply open
excel, create your table, highlight and copy it and paste it in
power point. Here you may shrink or enlarge it to the required
size. Excel will not allow you any fancy borders and it has limited
colours, but these can be compensated for in power point. In
order to achieve the effects noted below (see poster in hall near
rm 217), you must first paste the basic Excel spreadsheet
section. The spreadsheet should have the following: 1) The
required number of columns with the desired width ; 2) Highlight
the entire spreadsheet layout and click a thin border around the
outside, highlight the subtitle row and click “borders” to add a
thin border on the bottom of this row, highlight each entire
column in order to add a thin border separating the columns.; 3)
Highlight the subtitle row and give it a “fill” of white, highlight
every second row or grouping of information and “fill” it with
white. 4) Ensure that the other regions have “no fill” colour; 5)
Move the mouse to “tools” then to “options” and then click on the
“view” card and make sure that “guidelines” is not X’ed.
Once you have pasted the table in power point, you may change
the sizing by dragging the corner out, in order to maintain the
size ratio. Next, select the table by clicking it once (it may
already be selected) then select the “line style “button and chose
the double line with the thicker line on top, now select the “fill
colour” button and fill it with the colour of your choice. Please
note that we have found this beige to be a very effective colour.
You can achieve this colour by selecting “other colour” under “fill”
and choosing the colour at row 2 column 4 and then selecting
“more colours” and moving the arrow towards the white by two
colour steps. Either way you will gain an alternating colour
table.
Results

•This represents two separate text boxes. • AMETROPIA GREATER THAN 8D
• NARROW ANGLES
• FIELD DEFECTS FROM CAUSES OTHER THAN
GLAUCOMA
• SECONDARY GLAUCOMAS
• OCULAR DISEASE OTHER THAN GLAUCOMA
• USE OF CNS DEPRESSANTS OR ONGOING USE
OF STEROIDS
Methods
• Point form is a good way too....type a line and then hit return
for the
next bullet. Generally, adding two spaces at the
beginning of the
line helps clarity.

FIGURES:
All pictures, graphs etc. must be in “tif” file
form or they will not be read properly by the Designjet printer
used across campus. An example of a “tif” file used is found
below.
Conclusions
There are two general ways to print this poster out. The first is
on the small 8.5 X 11. This is done by selecting “print” then
“printer” then “options” then “options”. At the second option you
only need to change the scaling to 18% then hit OK. At the first
option if everything is set up properly you don’t need to change
anything. At the printer option, chose research. Once back at
the general print option, ensure that “slides” is chosen. Then
print!
References
After checking the poster at 100% zoom and doing an overall
check on an 18% small sheet print out, print the poster out in
large size on the HP designjet printer found in Graphic services,
rm 277 in Environmental Studies, extension 3003. To print: first
select slide setup and ensure the settings are correct. Next
select “print” then chose “printer” and select the HPdesignjet,
then chose options and ensure that output format is “postscript”,
paper source is “only one” and paper size is “36 X60”. Select
OK, then after checking that it is still on HPdesignjet, select OK,
then select “slides” and press OK. The cost of the will be about
$75.
