How-To Geek

8 tips to make the best powerpoint presentations.

Want to make your PowerPoint presentations really shine? Here's how to impress and engage your audience.

Quick Links

Table of contents, start with a goal, less is more, consider your typeface, make bullet points count, limit the use of transitions, skip text where possible, think in color, take a look from the top down, bonus: start with templates.

Slideshows are an intuitive way to share complex ideas with an audience, although they're dull and frustrating when poorly executed. Here are some tips to make your Microsoft PowerPoint presentations sing while avoiding common pitfalls.

define a goal

It all starts with identifying what we're trying to achieve with the presentation. Is it informative, a showcase of data in an easy-to-understand medium? Or is it more of a pitch, something meant to persuade and convince an audience and lead them to a particular outcome?

It's here where the majority of these presentations go wrong with the inability to identify the talking points that best support our goal. Always start with a goal in mind: to entertain, to inform, or to share data in a way that's easy to understand. Use facts, figures, and images to support your conclusion while keeping structure in mind (Where are we now and where are we going?).

I've found that it's helpful to start with the ending. Once I know how to end a presentation, I know how best to get to that point. I start by identifying the takeaway---that one nugget that I want to implant before thanking everyone for their time---and I work in reverse to figure out how best to get there.

Your mileage, of course, may vary. But it's always going to be a good idea to put in the time in the beginning stages so that you aren't reworking large portions of the presentation later. And that starts with a defined goal.

avoid walls of text

A slideshow isn't supposed to include everything. It's an introduction to a topic, one that we can elaborate on with speech. Anything unnecessary is a distraction. It makes the presentation less visually appealing and less interesting, and it makes you look bad as a presenter.

This goes for text as well as images. There's nothing worse, in fact, than a series of slides where the presenter just reads them as they appear. Your audience is capable of reading, and chances are they'll be done with the slide, and browsing Reddit, long before you finish. Avoid putting the literal text on the screen, and your audience will thank you.

use better fonts

Right off the bat, we're just going to come out and say that Papyrus and Comic Sans should be banned from all PowerPoint presentations, permanently. Beyond that, it's worth considering the typeface you're using and what it's saying about you, the presenter, and the presentation itself.

Consider choosing readability over aesthetics, and avoid fancy fonts that could prove to be more of a distraction than anything else. A good presentation needs two fonts: a serif and sans-serif. Use one for the headlines and one for body text, lists, and the like. Keep it simple. Veranda, Helvetica, Arial, and even Times New Roman are safe choices. Stick with the classics and it's hard to botch this one too badly.

use fewer bullets

There reaches a point where bullet points become less of a visual aid and more of a visual examination.

Bullet points should support the speaker, not overwhelm his audience. The best slides have little or no text at all, in fact. As a presenter, it's our job to talk through complex issues, but that doesn't mean that we need to highlight every talking point.

Instead, think about how you can break up large lists into three or four bullet points. Carefully consider whether you need to use more bullet points, or if you can combine multiple topics into a single point instead. And if you can't, remember that there's no one limiting the number of slides you can have in a presentation. It's always possible to break a list of 12 points down into three pages of four points each.

avoid transitions

Animation, when used correctly, is a good idea. It breaks up slow-moving parts of a presentation and adds action to elements that require it. But it should be used judiciously.

Adding a transition that wipes left to right between every slide or that animates each bullet point in a list, for example, starts to grow taxing on those forced to endure the presentation. Viewers get bored quickly, and animations that are meant to highlight specific elements quickly become taxing.

That's not to say that you can't use animations and transitions, just that you need to pick your spots. Aim for no more than a handful of these transitions for each presentation. And use them in spots where they'll add to the demonstration, not detract from it.

use visuals

Sometimes images tell a better story than text can. And as a presenter, your goal is to describe points in detail without making users do a lot of reading. In these cases, a well-designed visual, like a chart, might better convey the information you're trying to share.

The right image adds visual appeal and serves to break up longer, text-heavy sections of the presentation---but only if you're using the right images. A single high-quality image can make all the difference between a success and a dud when you're driving a specific point home.

When considering text, don't think solely in terms of bullet points and paragraphs. Tables, for example, are often unnecessary. Ask yourself whether you could present the same data in a bar or line chart instead.

find a color palette

Color is interesting. It evokes certain feelings and adds visual appeal to your presentation as a whole. Studies show that color also improves interest, comprehension, and retention. It should be a careful consideration, not an afterthought.

You don't have to be a graphic designer to use color well in a presentation. What I do is look for palettes I like, and then find ways to use them in the presentation. There are a number of tools for this, like Adobe Color , Coolors , and ColorHunt , just to name a few. After finding a palette you enjoy, consider how it works with the presentation you're about to give. Pastels, for example, evoke feelings of freedom and light, so they probably aren't the best choice when you're presenting quarterly earnings that missed the mark.

It's also worth mentioning that you don't need to use every color in the palette. Often, you can get by with just two or three, though you should really think through how they all work together and how readable they'll be when layered. A simple rule of thumb here is that contrast is your friend. Dark colors work well on light backgrounds, and light colors work best on dark backgrounds.

change views

Spend some time in the Slide Sorter before you finish your presentation. By clicking the four squares at the bottom left of the presentation, you can take a look at multiple slides at once and consider how each works together. Alternatively, you can click "View" on the ribbon and select "Slide Sorter."

Are you presenting too much text at once? Move an image in. Could a series of slides benefit from a chart or summary before you move on to another point?

It's here that we have the opportunity to view the presentation from beyond the single-slide viewpoint and think in terms of how each slide fits, or if it fits at all. From this view, you can rearrange slides, add additional ones, or delete them entirely if you find that they don't advance the presentation.

The difference between a good presentation and a bad one is really all about preparation and execution. Those that respect the process and plan carefully---not only the presentation as a whole, but each slide within it---are the ones who will succeed.

This brings me to my last (half) point: When in doubt, just buy a template and use it. You can find these all over the web, though Creative Market and GraphicRiver are probably the two most popular marketplaces for this kind of thing. Not all of us are blessed with the skills needed to design and deliver an effective presentation. And while a pre-made PowerPoint template isn't going to make you a better presenter, it will ease the anxiety of creating a visually appealing slide deck.

New Features of Microsoft PowerPoint 2021

Oct 2, 2021 | Articles , How-To

Microsoft has announced that they are going to add some new features in their one of the most popular and commonly used products, PowerPoint. PowerPoint was first released on April 20, 1987, and was initially available for Mac. Later on, it was acquired by Microsoft for USD 14 million, and the acquisition happened after three months of its release. After quite some time, It became an integral component of the Microsoft Office suite.

It was developed to design and provide visual presentations and graphics for business presentations, but with time it has been utilized in other fields. Right now, PowerPoint is available on several platforms and devices, including Mac, Android, iOS, etc.

In the recent announcement made by Microsoft, apart from the existing features in PowerPoint, which is now a part of Microsoft Office, some new features have been added in PowerPoint 2021. The new features include changing the reading order for more accessibility and recording the presenter videos. Let us look at the newly added features of Microsoft PowerPoint 2021.

Reading Sequence for Screen Readers

To help visually impaired people read more comfortably, Microsoft has introduced a screen reading sequence. Normally people with visual impairment use screen readers to read and understand the content. If the slides of the presentation are arranged logically using the screen readers, these users can understand the content more efficiently.

5 golden rules of PowerPoint design

february 6, 2024

A smiling woman with blonde hair, glasses, and a leopard print cardigan poses with her hands on her hips in front of an olive green background.

by Deb Ashby

Wondering how to design the perfect PowerPoint presentation? It's easier than you think–just follow five simple rules to get started:

1. Consider using templates

When building a slide deck, it’s important to maintain consistency throughout. We want to ensure we are using consistent font styles, colors and themes. This can be tricky when designing from scratch, so why not start from a template?

Microsoft Create contains hundreds of pre-made, customizable PowerPoint templates, which means you don’t have to start from scratch and the fonts and colors are already set for you.

Simply choose a template from the gallery, customize it as needed, and you are done!

2. No walls of text

We’ve all seen PowerPoint presentations where slides contain too much text. The human brain struggles to listen and read at the same time. If you are presenting to an audience, keep the text on slides to a minimum.

Consider employing the “5-5-5" rule. No more than 5 lines, no more than 5 words, no more than 5 minutes. Think short and sharp memory joggers instead of rambling paragraphs.

Where possible, consider replacing text with visuals to represent your point. People remember images more than words.

3. Be mindful of colors and fonts

No one wants their audience to leave with a headache after an hour of straining to read slides. We need to ensure that our presentation is easy to read for everyone – even for those in the nosebleed seats at the back! Think about the font you are using. Is it appropriate for the presentation? What about the font size? Can people at the back easily read? What about people with visual impairment? Ensure all text is at least 24pts.

When it comes to color, ensure all slides have good contrast. Dark backgrounds should have light font and vice versa.

4. Use animation sparingly

Animation can really liven up an otherwise flat presentation. However, it should be used thoughtfully and sparingly. Too much of the wrong type of animation with objects flying in and zooming around the screen, while fun, can look confusing and unprofessional.

Animation should be subtle. With every animation you add, ask yourself, "Is this going to enhance my presentation or distract from it?"

5. Engage your audience

When presenting to an audience, there is usually an awkward time before the presentation begins while the speaker waits for everyone to arrive. During this time, people may start scrolling on their phones or get distracted with work emails, and it can be hard to pull the audience back.

To avoid this issue, work to grab your audience's attention before the presentation even starts. Instead of just having the title slide on the screen, consider creating "kiosk slides." These are a series of slides that contain a combination of interesting things for the audience to look at or engage with. Maybe you have an interesting image? A funny quote or fun facts? Or maybe there is a question you want them to think about prior to the session?

Create these slides and have them automatically cycle round before the presentation starts.

Excellent slideshow presentation program

Microsoft PowerPoint

Powerpoint is a popular presentation software by Microsoft. You can create PowerPoint presentations for various purposes, such as in business or school settings, and they allow the user to add text, images, animations, and videos to each slide. There are also several different transition effects between slides.

Powerpoint is part of the Microsoft 365 suit and is available for both Windows and Mac OS. It's similar to Google Slides and Apple Keynote but differs because it allows for more detailed animations and videos.

Create and customise presentations

Microsoft Powerpoint is used widely in businesses to present new ideas, concepts, or marketing strategies . Universities also commonly use PowerPoint to aid in the presentation of classes, lectures, and other learning materials . Additionally, many individual users utilise PowerPoint presentations as a way of showcasing their interests or sharing information.

Main features

Powerpoint comes with a number of pre - installed templates , each of which has a different layout and design on each slide. You can use these templates for a number of purposes, but they often include bright colours and flashy graphics that are intended to grab the attention of an audience. They allow for quick customisation with minimal effort by the user.

Every pre-installed template has its own set of transition options so that each slide can appear in whatever manner desired. The number of transition options available is vast, with close to two dozen variations.

Users can also add their own text or images to any slide and incorporate additional multimedia such as video clips , pictures , and audio files into the slides. These objects can be adjusted and moved around the screen to fit the needs of the user.

Powerpoint also has a number of predefined animations that can be added to slides to make them more interesting. These include text or graphic movement, appearance, and shape changes. There are over 50 different animation variations available.

Microsoft Powerpoint also allows for presentations to be put together and designed collaboratively . This is done through the use of cloud storage so that changes made by one user will update all other copies of the presentation.

Presentations can be played back on any device that has Powerpoint installed. This allows for the presentations to be viewed in real-time during business meetings or at conferences, and it also offers a way for teachers and professors to put together student lesson plans.

Accessible for all skill levels

Powerpoint is the most widely used presentation program because it's simple to pick up and use. The range of templates available allows even novice users to be able to create presentations that have flashy graphics while being easy to navigate . At the same time, more experienced users have access to a number of tools that can be used to further customise presentations.

Powerpoint alternatives

There are a number of different presentation software options available that can be used in place of Powerpoint. These examples vary widely in their features and user interface, but they all provide a way for users to put together slideshows that can be shown to an audience.

Google Slides : Google's online presentation software is known for its collaboration features and advanced editing options (like editing charts and adding equations), but it lacks some of the template variety found in Powerpoint. It has a number of templates for common business presentations, but it also allows the use of Google Docs and Google Drive to store files.

Apple Keynote : This Apple software is similar in some ways to Powerpoint because it has a range of built-in templates with simple formatting options. It's less complicated than Google Slides but lacks advanced editing options.

An excellent choice

Powerpoint has a number of useful features that make it easier for users to create the desired presentations. The user interface of Powerpoint is straightforward and easy to understand, with all the tools that are needed for creating a presentation just a click away. The toolbar along the top of the window allows for quick access to all functions available, while each slide can be edited by clicking on it. 

There are also a number of cloud storage options that allow multiple people to work on the same project. Additionally, many of Powerpoint's features can be accessed from other software, such as Microsoft Word . This makes it easy to transfer files back and forth between programs and to use multiple programs together for tasks like business presentations and school assignments.

PowerPoint 2021 Spell Check not working on some slides

Spell check is not working on some slides in PowerPoint 2021 presentation. I cut and pasted the text from the slide into Word and discovered by revealing the Formatting Pane (by pressing Shift+F1) that under Language, the "Do not check spelling or grammar" option is checked.

However, I can't get to that option in PowerPoint using the same shortcut. I also can't get to this same Language pane using File/Options/Language in either Word or PP.

How do I get to the “Do not check spelling or grammar option” in PowerPoint?? PLEASE NOTE: I have tried checking and unchecking “Check spelling as you type” in my PP presentation under File/Options/Proofing. This IS NOT THE SAME as the Do not check spelling or grammar that I’m looking for.

Apologies, I tried uploading screenshots but they failed.

Manage your Microsoft 365 subscription or Office product

For most Microsoft 365 subscriptions and versions of Office (2013 and later), you need to associate an account with your product. This is the account you use to sign in to Microsoft365.com and what you use to install or reinstall the apps, or to manage your subscription. Depending on your product, this account can be a personal Microsoft account (such as Hotmail.com, Outlook.com, Live.com), or a work or school account assigned by someone in your organization.

Note:  Some products purchased through an employee  Microsoft Workplace Discount Program  (formerly known as Home Use Program) benefit or volume license versions (managed by an organization's IT department) might not require an account.

Tip:  You might be prompted to sign in. Make sure to sign in with the account associated with Microsoft 365 or Office. If you can’t remember which email address you associated with your subscription or Office product, see I can't remember the Microsoft account I use with Microsoft 365 .

From the header, select your Account manager .

Depending on your account type, select  My Microsoft account or  View  account .

Your account dashboard is displayed and what you can do next depends on if you're signed in with a Microsoft account , or a work or school account .

Select the tab below for the type of account you're signed in with.

If you selected My Microsoft account , the Microsoft account dashboard will open. This is where you manage your Microsoft account and any Microsoft products associated with this account.

On the Microsoft account dashboard, select  Services & subscriptions to view all Microsoft products associated with this account. 

For non-subscription versions of Office (such as Office 2013 and later): Find your Office product and select Install . Follow the prompts to install or reinstall the desktop apps.

If you selected View account , the  My Account dashboard for your work or school account will open. Here you can:

Install and manage your apps. On the Office apps card, select Manage , and select Install to install or reinstall the latest desktop apps, or other apps such as Project or Visio. (An install option is available as long as your admin assigned you a license and gave you permission to self-install.)
