Poster presentation template in PowerPoint. This file has gray "spacers" between the center of the poster and the two wings- remove these spacer boxes from your file before printing. The file is the full 36" x 48" and you'll need to leave about an inch for margins.(Note: If you do not have the Text Box tool and other tools available once you open the file in PowerPoint, go to View/Toolbars and click "Drawing." The full Drawing toolbar will usually pop up at the bottom of your screen. Alternatively, you can go to Insert on your menu, but it's usually quicker to have the "drawing" tools available.)
