Highlighting

Highlighting is great for indicating important points that you'd like your audience to remember from a statement or quote. In Primer Presentations, highlights are represented by altering the color of the text.

Usage guidelines:

• Avoid multiple highlights. Highlights should be used sparingly to only highlight key words or phrases on the slide. Too many highlights will confuse your audience about what the most important take away should be.
• Emphasis over decoration Remember that when you're highlighting text you're telling the audience, "This is important". Be sure to ask yourself if the highlight is necessary to add emphasis to your talking point.
