Size, layout, font (typeface) and size, colors.

· Size - A4

· Layout should be pleasant and easy to read: horizontal/landscape layout is preferable.

· Fonts: Ariel, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Futura, Optima, Verdana, New Century,

· Schoolbook and Courier. Some companies impose a particular style.

· Font size - maybe 20 or more depending on the size of the room you will be speaking in. A good idea is to use different sizes for different types of text: i.e. 20 for main headings, 16 for subheadings, 14 for other text.

· Use CAPITAL LETTERS, bold face, italics, underlining, (white on black) or shading to highlight.

· If possible, use color transparencies (unless you are just showing text).

What is important here is the way that...

You can also try to rephrase your point to give it emphasis, giving the audience time to absorb the information.

In other words the number of employees has a direct effect on the...

Or to look at it in another way every time you...

That is to say no matter what technique is used, the results remain.
