Please do not copy and paste text from another source unless you first copy and paste it into notepad or text pad to remove the formatting.

When inserting images into a slide, you must add “alt text” to describe the image. This practice is necessary to comply with accessibility requirements. To do this, right-click on the image and choose “Edit Alt Text.” A sidebar will open. Enter the text, then click anywhere in the slide to deselect the image. A phrase is sufficient.

3. Instructions
Please do not use LOGO BLUE or 5 PILLARS RED as background for text. They are not strictly accessible. For all other colors, please use the text color shown in the swatch. Thank you!
