Memo B
Could we reschedule todays 9:00 meeting
to Thursday at 11:00? This would make it
more convenient for Collins and Johnson,
and would permit Clifford to be present. It
is also the only other time this week that
the conference room is free.

Formatting Tips
Alignment
Check text and object alignment to ensure a consistent look across slides
Ensure headings and text boxes are in the same place, as you flip through
your slides
Colour Scheme
A muted colour scheme is generally recommended
Avoid dark backgrounds, very bright colours or too many colours
Font
Sans-serif font styles tend to work best: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma
Font size should be readable, but not too large (min ~12pt)
Consistency
Be consistent with font size, font style and colour scheme
Be consistent with punctuation at the end of bullets - Either use it or do not,
but do not use it inconsistently
Be consistent with overall structurei.e. use of tag lines versus just headers
Use the slide master to create a template to ensure consistency

Research Tips
Structuring your research using a defined approach can help research
effectively in a short period of time
But how do you know what your recommendations are before conducting
your research?
Answer: Guess.
27
Research Tips
Begin by creating a research log
This is a file that documents all of the research sources that have
been reviewed and includes a summary of key findings, facts and
sourcing information. A research log allows for easy dissemination
of key findings saving time. Assign a format and owner up front
