Page setup
We recommend that you use the default setting for an Onscreen show,
which is found on the File menu under Page setup. Most projectors, these
days, are set up for 1024 x 768 pixels. The next setting up is 1200
x 800. We recommend that you plan your graphic sizes accordingly.
Fonts & Symbols
We recommend that you use TrueType fonts for all of your work in PowerPoint,
because PowerPoint can embed these fonts, so that your text always looks
like it’s supposed to look. If you use a PC, make sure that you
choose the option “Embed TrueType fonts”, found under “Tools
> Options > Save”.
If you’re using Delta Graph, be sure to use Delta Graph’s
built-in symbols. Otherwise, if you have slides made from your presentation,
or if you move your presentation to another computer, your boxes and
triangles may show up as letters instead of shapes! To use this option,
select the graph and go to “Chart > Symbols” and select
“built-in symbols.”
