ABSTRACT
The text for the Abstract goes here using a san-serif font like
Arial or Helvetica. This type is easier to read at a distance
and when there are several paragraphs of text. Also, use a
large size for the text, such as 24 point (thats what this is)
and try not to go below 20 point.
You can highlight this text and replace it with your own.
Having this template should make it easier for you to create
your own poster.
The best contrast for poster text is black letters on white
background. However, that can be changed for a more
colorful poster such as this one. Also, if you are not happy
with the colors in this template, they can be changed as well.
Simply highlight this text and use Format/Text Box on the
menu bar above. You can select whatever color
combinations you like.

MATERIALS AND
METHODS
This template is set up for a 48x42 vertical poster. You can
change the size by going to File/Page Setup in the menu bar
above. Be careful, though, as the text and figures will shift if
you make the change after you have completed your layout.
If you know the dimensions, set those first. If you must
change the dimensions after you have completed your
layout, be sure to check your figures; re-insert them if they
are distorted in any way. The text, generally, will not be
affected by such a change.
The text boxes will automatically fit the text you type or
paste in from MS Word, and if you click on the text, you can
re-size the text boxes using the handles that appear on the
edges, to whatever size you want.
The dotted lines through the center of the template will not
print, they are to help you with alignment. You can move
them around by clicking and holding them, and a little box
will tell you where they are on the page. Use them to get
your pictures or text boxes aligned together. You can also
select the text boxes and the figures and use the Draw/Align
or Distribute menu to align them.

PICTURES
Use the Insert/Picture/From File command in the menu bar
above to insert figures that are not PowerPoint based, such
as JPG images of photographs. These should never be
pasted into a PowerPoint file.
SCANS
Images that need to be scanned work best in PowerPoint at
72 to 100 dpi in their final size on your poster. TIF images
that are not greater than 10mb can be used but PowerPoint
is happiest with JPG files. It is NEVER good to enlarge a
JPG file once it is in place, so be sure to size your figure in
another program such as Photoshop, save a copy as JPG,
then insert the JPG image into your poster.
A good way to make sure your figures look okay on your
poster is to view it at 100%. Scroll around to see if the
images look good. If not, they wont look good in final print.
REFERENCES
The standard procedures for Reference format should be
followed here. However, the size of the text can be
significantly smaller than the the rest of the poster sections
if there is an issue with space.
A section for Acknowledgements can be added in this area
of the poster also. That usually comes ahead of the
References section, if it will be added at all. That also can be
significantly smaller than the text in the rest of the poster.
