How do I create a template for a debate

[Francis]

My daughter is in a debating class (age 14) and I would like to help her
create a template or format that would help her and her team to form and
deliver a cohesive argument. It would be advantageous to be able to create
palm cards for each member, pull the file up in Powerpoint and be able to
print various out-lines.

Hi Francis

If you want to use Word, I suggest you start with Outline View. See:
How to save yourself hours by using Outline View properly
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/UsingOLView.htm

This will help your daughter re-arrange and organize ideas for her
arguments. It won't produce palm cards or a summary or a PowerPoint slide,
though. In any case, I suspect that the process of producing palm cards is
their principal benefit, not the text that appears on them.

Hope this helps.
