      Tips! - **Consistency:** Whatever method you choose, be sure to maintain consistency throughout your entire presentation. The format of your citations should follow the style guide you’re using (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). - **Font Size:** Citations and footnotes should be smaller than the main text but still legible. Usually, 8–10 pt is appropriate for footnotes and references. - **Use Citation Tools:** If you are working with multiple sources, you can use citation generators (such as EasyBib or Citation Machine) to create accurate citations in your chosen style. - **Hyperlinks:** If you are using digital sources, you can include hyperlinks in your citations by selecting the text and clicking on the **Insert** > **Link** option, pasting the URL, and clicking **Apply**.
