• General PowerPoint tips:
• Set the exact size of text boxes in the “Format” tab to keep
things consistent.
• Turn on the guides and smart guides to help you align your
content
• Hold shift to constrain the dimensions of an object while resizing or creating it from scratch. Works to make perfect
circles, squares or straight lines.
• Hold Control (Ctrl) while selecting items to move or re-size
them together
• Group items to make them easy to move
• Use these keys to work quickly (one hand on the mouse the
other for these actions)
Future Directions
• Describe what the next step will/should be (Ex. These
experiments will be repeated…) What limitations in your data do
you want to overcome in future experiments (Ex. The additional
quantification of or We plan to experiment with various…)
