Template for a 72x42 poster presentationNames, names, names, names, names, names, names
AbstractThis template uses the Arial family at several text sizes.
You can use any typeface you wish but what is used here works well with this poster format.
This template uses Arial Black 88 for the title, Arial Narrow 72 for subtitles, Arial Narrow 72 Bold
for headers and Arial Narrow 30 for the text body. You can change the text body size up or down
if you need to but we recommend that you don’t go too much bigger or too much smaller. Keep
in mind that this template will print at 200% its size.
Suggestion: If you cut and paste text from Word, or another source onto this document your
text will maintain its formatting and you will need to change it so it will match the rest of the text
on this page.
Charts & Graphs: To bring in charts and graphs from Excel, Word or other applications, go to
EDIT>COPY to copy your chart, come back to PowerPoint, and go to EDIT>PASTE to paste it
on the poster. You can scale the charts or graphs as needed.
Suggestion: Press the SHIFT key as you scale your charts or graphs to scale them
proportionally..
1) Examines the dietary practices, physical activity, and tobacco and alcohol usage of college students.
2) Assesses current attitudes and beliefs regarding the health information needs of college students.
The guiding hypothesis is that positive correlations exist between health behaviors,
practices, and health status and the students’ perceived risk for developing chronic
disease (i.e. cancer).

It’s always good to use the largest images you have available for your poster. Avoid
images taken from the web and avoid copying and pasting images. Instead try to
INSERT>PICTURE>FROM FILE to bring images to your poster. Although PowerPoint is
very forgiving when it comes to printing low resolution images, if you scale your images
more than 200% after you bring them in, the image quality will suffer. Suggestion: An easy
way to see what an image is going to print like is to change your VIEW>ZOOM setting to
100% and look at the images up close. What you’ll see at 100% is very close to what your
images will look like when printed.
• Many times the information you want to use in your poster exists on multiple slides in one or more PowerPoint presentations. An easy way to extract the information and bring it in your poster is to go to FILE>SAVE AS>ENHANCED WINDOWS METAFILE .
• You will be prompted to choose whether you want to save all or only the current slide as a Metafile
• You can then go back to your poster, import the Metafiles, and arrange them on the page as needed.
