-: I've prepared a four slide presentation
about the global cheese industry.
Let us prepare together an executive summary
with a similar format.
I wanna show you an amazing trick in PowerPoint
that you can follow.
With this presentation, I add titles here.
I added all the first information in my title.
That's normal practice, but what you maybe don't know,
you can go to view, you can select outline view
and basically, it gives you an outline
of the content on your slide.
And what if I tried to read
this title, this title, this title, this title,
and just make sure that it is a story.
The outline view can be very, very helpful.
Let me simply, in the outline view, create a new slide.
I already have this template that I prepared selected,
and I will call it Executive Summary.
For the points, I could be that bold
and just copy items from here.
Of course, sometimes you just need to go
into the slide and tinker with it,
but that is the outline view, and if you use titles
it's a very convenient way that,
to add all the text.
As you can see, it would add everything,
but I obviously don't want everything.
So one, two, I will take slide number three,
and I will take slide number four.
Again, I will just select everything, Ctrl+C,
and put it in my executive summary.
Of course, it's now very ugly formatted
but you can very quickly adjust it
by going to home and deselecting the bullet point.
I like that the important things are already bolded.
I would remain them like that.
I would select the additional items,
and I would highlight them like this.
I could decide if I want them further or not.
The main thing here is, it's too much of them.
I would probably leave only two
of the most interesting I believe,
or I would try to rephrase it.
For the sake of a tutorial,
let's not do any rephrasing right now.
I just want you to work
with the technical aspect of PowerPoint.
You can see PowerPoint tries to resize everything for you,
so it sometimes is a hassle, I will not lie,
but that's why do we learn.
I will press enter.
I will just press enter here,
and we have all the information
consistently presented across.
Now I would select the additional points.
I would press my control or command key probably on a Mac
and I would just select the secondary items.
I would bullet point them, and now I would make sure
that the font sizing is consistent.
I would go to the font sizing and I would press,
for example, 16, or even less like 14.
I wanna go to view
because there is too much text now in front of me.
I want to go back to the original normal view,
and this would be a well-made executive summary.
If you need more space and you don't have anymore,
you can always click, go to home,
and this individual text box can have,
of course, lower spacing.
Lower spacing is made
with the paragraph option about line spacing,
and you can press one or go to the line spacing options
and just decrease the spacing before to zero,
and, for example, this adds 0.67.
This will make a very narrow line.
You can see we can adjust the line to our need.
You can always click here back again
and increase the differences between the lines.
This would be one way of creating a quick executive summary
that was a presentation about the global cheese industry.
The company who tasked me with the presentation asked me
what types of cheese should it focus on on sell
to have the most revenue,
and what types of cheese are the most popular.
Following an SCR framework to make everything complete,
I started with a research about the market in general,
about its size, forecast, and growth,
and then I slowly trickled it down
towards some situations and recommendations.
