*Research on the significant characteristics of presentation files is not readily available. As a general rule, however, it is reasonable to assume that content, page layout and design and the presence of embedded images, graphs, charts and other objects should be considered significant. Other features such as animation and slide transitions may be less significant, depending on the content and context of the record.

ParagraphCount Total number of paragraphs in the document Optional Structure See note for WordCount, above
LineCount Total number of lines in the document Optional Structure See note for WordCount, above

Fonts (FontName, isEmbedded) A list of fonts used in the document; An indication of whether or not a font is embedded in a document Mandatory Content, Appearance This element allows a repository to store the names of all fonts used in a document. Some repositories may choose to store only the non-embedded fonts. It is recommended that repositories record at least the non-embedded fonts to assist in identifying the documents with potential long-term preservation risks.
