DESIGNING THE PRESENTATION WITH MICROSOFT POWER POINT Simple Keywords Do not put every word on the screen that distracts
the audience who try to read all the words on the screen rather than listening to what you have to say and then actually loose the point that you are trying to make. The objective is to use the slides to give a summary of KEYWORDS that are used as aids to yourself and the audience to capture the main points that you are making……..
