APA Formatting in Microsoft Office PowerPoint

Question:
How do I apply APA formatting to PowerPoint presentations?
Answer:
No set standards exist for PowerPoint presentations relative to APA formatting; however, following are some best practices:
  • Use no more than six bullets per slide
  • Use no more than six words per line
  • Use no more than six lines per slide
  • Use no more than one topic per slide
  • Use clear simple fonts, such as Arial, as they are easier to read
  • Use light colored font on dark backgrounds, or dark colored fonts on light backgrounds
  • Insert a slide with a chart or graph to break up reading slides
  • When considering Clipart, use quality images or none at all
  • Remember copyright laws when taking an image from the Internet
