 Format:
PowerPoint presentations usually begin with a title slide that may contain
the name or the topic of the presentation and sometimes will contain
the name(s) of the presenter(s). The title slide is followed by content
slides that contain information usually in the form of text---often in the
form of a bulleted list---and sometimes graphics. Examples of graphics
that may be contained in a PowerPoint presentation include charts,
graphs, diagrams, screenshots, photos, movies and animations. A final
slide or group of slides is sometimes included to wrap up the
presentation, for example "Conclusions," "References" or a slide with
the text "Questions?"
 Function:
PowerPoint presentations are popular in business meetings, both face-
to-face and teleconferenced. PowerPoint presentations are often used in
business to present training material. Many college professors now use
PowerPoint presentations for their lectures instead of writing
information on the chalkboard or whiteboard before each class.
PowerPoint presentations also are often used by students to give in-
class presentations.
 Software Information:
PowerPoint is developed, manufactured, and marketed by Microsoft
Corporation. It is bundled with some versions of the Microsoft Office suite
and is also available for purchase as a stand-alone product. PowerPoint is
available for both Windows and Mac OS platforms
 Features:
PowerPoint software features and formatting options include a wizard
that walks you through the presentation creation process. Design
templates---pre-packaged background designs and font styles that will
be applied to all slides in a presentation---can be used, or you can
create your own slide design if desired using a combination of layout
arrangement, background color, text font and color, and extras such as
call-out boxes, graphics (from clip art or from a file), photos, diagrams
and movies. Sound can be added to a presentation from a PowerPoint
library of sounds, from a saved music file, from a CD, or sound can be
recorded using a microphone. When viewing a presentation, slide
progression can be manual, using the computer mouse or keyboard to
progress to the next slide, or slides can be set up to progress after a
specified length of time. Slide introductions and transitions can be
added to the slides. For example "fade through black," "checkerboard
across" or "random transition."
 Viewing Presentations:
PowerPoint presentations can be viewed on a computer on which
PowerPoint software is installed. Alternatively, PowerPoint Viewer is
available for free download from Microsoft's website for individual
use. PowerPoint presentations can be viewed using PowerPoint
Viewer, but cannot be created or edited.
 Basic PowerPoint Features:
PowerPoint is the presentation software of the Microsoft Office
software suite. One of the most widely used office programs,
PowerPoint has applications for personal use, academics and business.
It is highly customizable; you can edit PowerPoint presentations to be
as personal or professional as you want. PowerPoint has a relatively
simple user interface which you can easily pick up. However,
mastering each of its functions will allow you to create impressive
presentations to engage your audience.
 Design:
The design features of PowerPoint allow you to customize the appearance
and format of the slides. PowerPoint typically comes with a set of
preloaded themes for you to choose from. These can range from simple
color changes to complete format layouts with accompanying font text.
Themes can be applied through the whole presentation or a single slide.
Using the page setup allows you to optimize the presentation for the
display size; for instance, you should use a larger screen ratio when
displaying on a projector compared to a computer screen.
 Animation:
PowerPoint animation is divided between slide transitions and element
animation. Using slide transition adds an effect when switching slides
during a slide show. You can edit the transition effect and timing, as well
as opt for an on-click or automatic transition between slides. Element
animation adds movement and sounds to the objects within the slide. For
example, if you're constructing a photo gallery as a slide show, you can
choose which pictures enter the slide first, how they enter and add a sound
as they enter.
 Presentation:
 The presentation function of PowerPoint is largely designed to
accommodate public speaking. PowerPoint comes with a built-in notes
function; when printing out presentation slides, you can add presenter
notes beside each slide as accompanying content. This is useful to
clarify points in the slide without sacrificing the slide's readability. As
of the 2007 version of PowerPoint, you can pre-record narration for a
presentation. PowerPoint also has a rehearsal function as well,
allowing you or your team to practice your timing and monitor the
length of your presentation.
 Integration:
PowerPoint is compatible with all other software in the Microsoft
Office suite; you can export slides into Word documents or use Excel
charts within your presentation. In addition to image and audio
support, PowerPoint 2007 also has video-integration functionality; you
can embed videos within a presentation for easy playback without
exiting the program. You can also export presentation files to an online
interface for multi-user remote editing and presentation practice.
