PowerPoint is a Microsoft software used to create presentations. It was first developed in 1984 for Macintosh computers and is now integrated into Microsoft Office. Users can create, edit, and present using templates or a blank page, and add animations and internet links. Timed presentations are also available.
PowerPoint® presentation software is a Microsoft® product used to create presentations and presentations. The first version of PowerPoint® presentation software was developed in late 1984 by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin and sold through their company, Forthought Inc. This first version was developed for Macintosh computers and was intended for business users. Microsoft® purchased Forethought in 1987 at which point it began further development of PowerPoint® presentation software.
The primary users of this software are sales and corporate personnel, teachers and trainers. PowerPoint® software is now integrated into the Microsoft® Office product, as one of the business productivity tools. This software is relatively easy to use and is designed to provide a novice user with a professional presentation tool at minimal cost.
There are three main functions within PowerPoint® presentation software: create, edit and present. The functionality provided in this tool works seamlessly with all other Microsoft Office® applications. This gives the user the ability to copy and paste text and images from other documents and quickly embed them into a presentation.
There are two ways to create a new presentation: use an existing template or work from a blank page. Check out the templates to see if there is one similar to your needs. Look at the text formatting, information layout and background image. The text itself is very easy to edit, but using a template saves a lot of time.
Working from a blank page, the user is free to design the layout of each part of the presentation to suit his or her vision. This approach is most productive for people who have experience creating presentations and know exactly how they want it to look. There are layout and formatting options designed to make this process easier.
Editing using PowerPoint® presentation software is very simple, as the options available are standard with any tool in the Microsoft Office® suite. The user can change the format of any text, create background images, add or remove animations and create Internet links.
The presentation or presentation section includes options for a timed presentation, where the slides are set to move at specific intervals. This eliminates the need to manually advance the slide. However, the presenter must keep his speech in sync with the on-screen presentation. Most presenters practice their timing beforehand, so they’re able to develop a comfortable pace.
