Project Tips:    • DO NOT COPY THE EXAMPLES IN YOUR BOOK EXACTLY     • PowerPoint is not a word processor.  PowerPoint has the 7 & 7 Rule.  7 lines per slide/7 words per line.    • Most of your audience can probably read.  Do not make your presentation too wordy.    • Use the same SmartArt in each part of the project.  There is no need to recreate the SmartArt in each portion of the project.    • Bullets need a Buddy.  One Bullet needs a second.  If you have one statement remove the bullet
