Use the text box tool to add new text boxes as

needed. It is better to have each section in its

own text box rather then just one column .

If you are used to making "slide shows" in

PowerPoint you will need to adjust your thinking

- a Poster Presentation is one big print instead of a

series of slides. Also, the optimal colors are the

reverse of projected slides - white or light colored

background with dark text works best.
