1. Make a text box and add your numbered points
2. Change the text colour to white and the text box fill (background) to black.
3. Copy the text box to each new slide and highlight the point under discussion by changing it to yellow. The highlighted point lets your audience know how far along you are.
3. Photos• Create a folder on your desktop to store
the photos for presentation.• Use only high resolution photos or they
will be blurred when enlarged; 400X400 or bigger is safe.
• Crop photos so you only show relevant info• Rotate photos alternately to add visual
interest.• Add shadows to create depth.

Making a photo partially transparent over a tinted background allows you to create watermarks.

Tinting the text box fill will make the text stand out even more.
If you change the slide background colour (its fill), you will change the effect – play with it.
Making the tinted text box partially transparent, will soften the effect.

Keegan’s “personal angle of vision”
• Smoke from black powder weapons• Soldiers in prone position• Soldiers in defilade (reverse slopes/dead
ground)• Soldiers under battle stress concerned only
with their close proximity• Artillery on high ground had the best vantage• Even Wellington only saw parts of the battle
The bottom line is that
soldiers saw only bits and
pieces of the battle – we are
lucky that Siborne’s
collection of letters is so
varied and numerous as it
gives us a most complete
story.
