Keep the text on each slide short and to the point. Stick as closely as possible to the 5-5-5 rule. It doesn't work 100% of the time but it's a good guide.
The 5-5-5 Rule
Use a built-in template from the Design Menu in Powerpoint in combination with the 5-5-5 Rule to make your Powerpoint more appealing. You can also upload a template from the websites below.
Your text should be easy to read and pleasant to look at. Large, simple fonts and theme colors are always your best bet. The best fonts and colors can vary depending on your presentation setting. Presenting in a large room? Make your text larger than usual so people in the back can read it. Presenting with the lights on? Dark text on a light background is your best bet for visibility.
Adding pictures can make your presentations more interesting and engaging. You can insert a picture from a file on your computer onto any slide. PowerPoint even includes tools for finding online pictures and adding screenshots to your presentation.
