RE: '97 PowerPoint problem and question

["Kathy Jacobs" <jacobskl -at- jacobs -dot- coxatwork -dot- com>]

I would look at how you are printing the slides.  If you are just
printing them to a color laser or inkjet printer, you will not get
slides that match what you see on the screen.  You will need to go to a
professional printer and ask for your slides to be printed on a
Tektronix printer.

Second, slides for presentation on an overhead projector should be set
up differently than those for on-screen use.  Keep them simpler, turn
them from landscape to portrait, and make the element colors bolder and
the background color dimmer so that they show up nicely.

What I would do is make a short (2 or three slide) version of your
presentation to test first, and then adjust the rest of the
presentation.  I would also be sure to keep the original set, as it may
be needed in the future.

Email me if you need more help.

Subject: '97 PowerPoint problem and question


Nature

Good afternoon,

I recently created a 31 slide '97 PowerPoint presentation from a
template for a medical presentation including text and photos. I was
first asked to set it up to be shown through a laptop with handouts. No
problem. It looked fine with fadeouts etc.  After meeting with my boss,
I was informed that it would now be presented on an overhead projector.
My first printouts look awful. Do I have to create the project all over
again without the templates? Please advise. Any suggestion or help is
appreciated.
