Nursing: Power Point

Posters can be printed at the Library using the Large Format Printer. 

The easiest way to design your poster is by sizing it in Power Point.

Open Power Point and choose 'blank slide' from the layout icon. Next click the third tab at the top of the page to work in 'Design'. Once in 'Design' you can click the page set up located at the far left hand corner. From there you can set the width and height of your poster. This allows you to work in the slide and maintain the graphics and dimensions.

***Recommnded dimensions are 20w by 30h and 30w by 40h.
