MS-POWERPOINT

MS-Powerpoint is a presentation graphics program developed by Microsoft Corporation for Microsoft Windows. It is an application program designed to create and enhance charts and
graphs so that they are visually appealing and easily understood by an audience.
A window is a rectangular area on the screen, in which you view a program or a document. Powerpoint uses two windows; one nestled snugly within the other. The outer window is called
the application window because it contains the PowerPoint programs main options and commands. The inner window is called the presentation window, because it contains the current
presentation file and the tools, options, commands, and messages associated with this file.
