  3. You can decide the specific placement of your content as well as the size, color, and font of the text within the editable area.

Troubleshooting Tip

Turning off image compression in PowerPoint allows full resolution of images and prevents blurry, low resolution print-outs. To turn off compression in Powerpoint: Go to File, then Options, and choose Advanced. Scroll down to "Image Size and Quality" and check the box next to "Do not compress images in file".

This poster is designed to be printed at 24" x 36". Printing documents larger than their intended size may cause distortion and degradation of image quality.
