Avoid Text Overload

•11/4/2018

•Guidelines_FBH

•22

• One of the most common mistakes in creating a presentation is to place too much information on the screen. This can cause the reader to become distracted from the speaker…just like you are now. Audiences are much more receptive to the spoken word.


Avoid Text Overload Having too much text: can defeat the purpose of

PowerPoint.

Slides begin to look like a jumble of text, making slides difficult to read and unrecognizable from each other.

They will not listen to you.

People will either try to read and copy everything down or they will lose interest.

If you have more information to include use more slides or create handouts.
