To prepare a PowerPoint presentation: 1. Launch PowerPoint and select a blank document template. Add slides and type titles and content on each slide. 2. Choose a slide design template and format slides with a dark background and light font for coherence. 3. Insert graphics, charts created from input data, and animations to enhance the presentation. However, only use animations and graphics that clearly support the content. 4. Add notes under each slide to refer to during the live presentation while the audience views the slides. Print slides with notes to avoid staring at the screen. Keep the presentation simple.
