Steps Part 1 – PPT Project Instructions Points
1.
Create a new PowerPoint presentation file on your PC (or flash drive) named
18PR_ppt_LastFirst, where LastFirst is your actual Lastname and Firstname (For example, if
your name is Mary Smith, you will name the file 18PR_ppt_SmithMary)

2.
TOPIC for PowerPoint Project ➔ Check with your Instructor
Some rules to follow in creating your presentation along with some suggestions:
a. Do not use foul language (keep it clean)
b. Do not make sexual innuendoes
c. Keep it “G-rated” (something you could have kids to read)
d. Try to “teach” or “inform”
1
3. Presentation should contain no less than 10 and no more than 20 slides. 1
4.
Use a template or a theme.
For Templates: Click on File/New, and then you can select PowerPoint presentations and slides,
Sample Templates, or you can enter a module in the “Search Office.com for Templates” box to
search for various templates (though that will also give you invitations, and all sorts of other
things)
2
5.
Use at least 3 slide layout choices. You must use at least:
a. 1-Title Slide (this is to be your first slide)
b. 1-Title and Content Slide
c. 1-Two Content Slide (any type of two content slide)
2
6.
Follow the 7 x 7 rule
a. 7 x 7 rule means do not exceed 7 words per line, and 7 lines per slide.
b. Follow the rule for the most part (exceptions here and there are fine).
2
7. Adjust font sizes and colors as appropriate. It should be easy to read. For example, do not use a
yellow font on a white background. 2

Steps Part 1 – PPT Project Instructions Points
8.
Create an Overview slide. That is, after the first slide (title slide), the next slide should be titled
Overview. It should contain a list of all the slides in your presentation. This gives the audience an
overview of the presentation.
2
9.
Add speaker notes to your Overview slide.
Remember, this is why the 7×7 rule works. Use speaker notes when you want to convey more
information than is on the slide. Print using Notes Pages, and then make sure and “talk” about
“your notes” during your presentation!
2
10.
Using Graphics Effectively:
a. Insert at least 1 “Online Picture” and resize (if necessary)
b. Change the Picture Style of the picture!
2
11.
a. Insert a shape into a slide
b. Enhance your shape by adding color and using a shape style.
c. Now add text to your shape by adding a text box on the shape.
3
12. Create a SmartArt on at least 1 slide 2
13. Create a Table in at least 1 slide 2
14.
The last slide of your presentation should be titled: “Contact Information”. This is a slide will give
your audience information on how to get in contact with you at a later time, if necessary. Your
NAME, Your PHONE, and EMAIL must be on this slide (Note: you can put a fake phone number
and email if you like).
2
15. Apply a transition to ALL slides. You can use the same transition on all slides, or a different
transition for each slide. 2
16.
Include (on all slides) a footer that includes:
a. The date
b. A slide number
c. Footer text of: By: Firstname Lastname. Replace the word Lastname with your last name
and replace Firstname with your first name. For example, if your name is Tom Jones, then
your footer text would be: By: Tom Jones.
d. Check the box so that the footer does not show on the title slide!
2
17. Be sure to check the presentation for spelling errors. 2
