PowerPoint Instructions

Please use the Microsoft PowerPoint 97-2003 (*.ppt), to guarantee they will open successfully on an on-site PC.
We recommend you to save your PowerPoint presentation using PPT format instead of PPS

Pictures/Videos

JPG images are the preferred file format for inserted images.
GIF, TIF or BMP formats will be accepted as well.
Images inserted into PowerPoint are embedded into the presentations. Images that are created at a dpi setting higher than 200 dpi are not necessary and will only increase the file size of your presentation. Try to avoid overloading your presentation with unnecessary images.
We cannot provide support for embedded videos in your presentation; please test your presentation with the on-site PC several hours before your presentation. Generally, the MPEG-1 format should work with no difficulties

Movies / Videos

Movies or videos that require additional reading or projection equipment (e.g., VHS cassettes) will be not accepted

Fonts

Only fonts that are included in the basic installation of MS-Windows will be available (English version of Windows). Use of other fonts not included in Windows can cause the wrong layout / style of your presentation.
Suggested fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, Tahoma
If you insist on using different fonts, these must be embedded into your presentation by choosing the right option when saving your presentation, see details below:
- Click on „File“, then „Save As“
