Abstract
If you are used to making "slide shows" in PowerPoint you will
need to adjust your thinking - a Poster Presentation is one big
print instead of a series of slides. Also, the optimal colors are
the reverse of projected slides - white or light colored
background with dark text works best.
Due to the page size limitations inherent in PowerPoint - the
custom page size of this document is: 34.2” x 56”. When printed
at the file will be scaled up to 44” x 72” (3feet x 6 feet).
If you follow the font size recommendations you will have
poster presentation that is legible from the proper viewing
distance.
Introduction
Replace the text in these columns with your own text.
You can copy/paste text from Word or other PowerPoint files.
Body text of 28 point Times New Roman is ideal.
Text shouldn’t be smaller than 20 pt., this will keep your poster
legible from normal viewing distance.
Arial and Times New Roman, Symbol and Wingdings are the
recommended fonts.
“City Names” typefaces (i.e., Geneva, Monaco, New York, etc.)
will not print - Courier will be substituted.
How to Insert Symbols or Special
Characters
1. Click where you want to insert the symbol.
2. On the Insert menu, click Symbol
3. In the Font box, click the font that you want
– Symbol or Winddings - do not use [Normal
Text].
4. If you want to get a close-up view of a
symbol, click it.
5. Double-click the symbol that you want to
insert or click the Insert button
Methods and Materials
Use the text box tool to add new text boxes as needed. It is
better to have each section in its’ own text box rather then just
one column .
