Section 3.1: Slide Designs

...

When you create a slide, you want the reading order to remain consistent. To do this, you want to choose slides that have a similar layout. You want the title to be at the top, so it will be read first. Then any text you have would go under the title and read second. Finally, any photos you have on your slide will be to the right or under the text to be read last. Some slides are built for the photo to be at the top or the title on the bottom. We do not use them because screen readers will read the title first. This mix up could make people who use screen readers have a harder time reading the slide.

...

Warning

This slide has a title box below the content text box. This will confuse readers since the title should always be read first at the top.

Section 3.3: Slide Titles

Each slide needs to have an accurate, and informative title. The slide title informs the readers on what the slide is about. It is also a good idea to put the title at the top of the slide. This will allow readers to see the title before anything else. Also keep in mind that every slide should have its own name. Try not to have the same name repeat on multiple slides throughout your presentation.

...

Warning

This slide shows a list of ideas on what to see, do, and learn about when travelling to Japan. However, the slide does not have a title. This is inaccessible because the readers will not know where to begin in reading the slide or know what the slide content is about.

  3. The Slide Master Pane will appear on the left side of the screen. Changing the Slide Master affects all slides that are based on that master in the presentation. For example, you may want logos visible on every slide or use the same font.

  4. Below the Slide Master is the Layout Master. The Layout Master affects all slides of that type in your presentation. For example, one layout you can use is called “Two Content”. If you modify the layout master for this design, all of the slides you create with that design will match what you created.

Section 3.5: Slide Numbers

...

Superscripts and subscripts should be avoided because screen readers will read them as regular text. The best way to write the information with superscripts or subscripts is to write down the words completely.

...

Warning
