Best Font size

[John E]

Im using power point 2003. I need to know the best font size to use for slide
show. In other words, will a text font size of 22 work for a slide show or do
I need bigger, such as 44+. I want people to see my presentaion clearly on
the projector screen and tv.If its to small,they will not be able to see my
typed text. Thank you - John E.

If you use the default font sizes that have been provided, you can't go
wrong. The biggest problem people have is trying to put to much information
onto one slide.

It really depends on the size and setup of the room, John -- how far the
audience is from the screen. 22 pt might be fine in a conference room or
maybe in a ballroom set wide for a smaller audience. But it won't be fine in
a long, narrow ballroom set for a large audience.

For some guidance, see How big should text be? What's the ideal font size?
