We hope you find this template useful! This one is set up to yield a
48x36” (4x3’) horizontal poster.
We’ve put in the headings we usually see in these posters, you can
copy and paste and change to your hearts content! We suggest you
use keep black text against a light background so that it is easy to
read. Background color can be changed in format-background-drop
down menu.
The boxes around the text will automatically fit the text you type,
and if you click on the text, you can use the little handles that
appear to stretch or squeeze the text boxes to whatever size you
want. If you need just a little more room for your type, go to
format-line spacing and reduce it to 90 or even 85%.
The dotted lines through the center of the piece will not print, they
are for alignment. You can move them around by clicking and
holding them, and a little box will tell you where they are on the
page. Use them to get your pictures or text boxes aligned together.
How to bring things in from Excel® and Word®
Excel- select the chart, hit edit-copy, and then edit-paste into
PowerPoint®. The chart can then be stretched to fit as required. If
you need to edit parts of the chart, it can be ungrouped. Watch out
for scientific symbols used in imported charts, which PowerPoint
will not recognize as a used font and may print improperly if we
don’t have the font installed on our system. It is best to use the
Symbol font for scientific characters.
Word- select the text to be brought into PowerPoint, hit edit-copy,
then edit-paste the text into a new or existing text block. This text
is editable. You can change the size, color, etc. in format-text. We
suggest you not put shadows on smaller text. Stick with Arial and
Times New Roman fonts so your collaborators will have them.
Scans
We need images to be 72 to 100 dpi in their final size, or use a rule
We listen! Call us at 800-590-7850 if we can help in any way.
