point-by-point
► Careful choice of words,key ideas only ■ Complete sentences not necessary■ Bullets need not end with a period
► 7-7 rule (described on next slide)
► Sub-bullets give details about bullet points
Remember the 7 x 7 RuleRemember the 7 x 7 Rule
► Maximum of seven lines, seven words per line
► If you have more than two lines of text per bullet…
■ simplify the wording
■ or create a main heading plus sub-points
► Don’t break this guideline very often
Example of What Not to DoExample of What Not to DoAs a general rule of thumb, keep in mind the rule proposed by presentation experts—a maximum of seven lines per word chart and an average of seven words per line. If you have more than two lines of text in a bullet, either simplify the wording or break it into a main heading plus sub-points. Obviously, it may be necessary to break this guideline sometimes, but don’t do it so often you turn your presentation into a group reading session!
Too many words on this slide! Not a good visual presentation
