Microsoft PowerPoint

Description

Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular program for creating presentations and slide shows. It is one of the many standard applications that come with Microsoft Office. It can be used in both educational and business environments.

PowerPoint allows you to create slides with many types of content. Individual objects within a slide can be displayed all at once or as series of events. For example, you can choose to display one bullet point at a time instead of listing all the points at once. Several effects can be applied to objects within a slide, such as fading in an image or scrolling text across the screen. You can also add transitions between slides.

PowerPoint offers several templates which can be used as slideshow templates. You can also create your own templates to make custom-designed presentations. There are thousands of templates available online that can be used to create presentations. PowerPoint templates are organized by keywords and categories, which helps you find the right design for your audience. Categories include Business, Calendars, Charts and Diagrams, Education, and others. PowerPoint 2010 and later saves presentations in the Office Open XML .PPTX format. Older versions use the proprietary .PPT format.

Microsoft PowerPoint is an industry-standard application used by business professionals, teachers, and home users. It allows you to create and present business figures, lessons and photo slideshows. Microsoft PowerPoint is a great choice if you use any of the Microsoft Office programs.
