 INTRODUCTION
Microsoft PowerPoint is a program that is included in the Microsoft
Office suite. It is used to make presentations for personal and
professional purposes.

 The program was created in a software company named

Forethought, Inc. by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin.
 It was released on April 20, 1987, and after 3 months of its
creation, it was acquired by Microsoft.
 The first version of this program, when introduced by Microsoft
was MS PowerPoint 2.0 (1990).
 It is a presentation-based program that uses graphics, videos, etc.
to make a presentation more interactive and interesting.
 The file extension of a saved PowerPoint presentation is “.ppt”.
 A PowerPoint presentation comprising slides and other features is
also known as PPT.

Gradually, with each version, the program was more creative and more
interactive. Various other features were added in PowerPoint which
massively increased the requirement and use of this MS Office program.

What is a PowerPoint presentation or PPT?

A combination of various slides depicting a graphical and visual

interpretation of data, to present information in a more creative and
interactive manner is called a PowerPoint presentation or PPT.

What is a slide show in a PowerPoint presentation?

When all the slides of a PowerPoint presentation are set in series

and then presented to a group of people, where each slide appears one
after the other, is a set pattern, this is known as a PowerPoint slide
show.

Uses of PowerPoint Presentation

PowerPoint presentations are useful for both personal and professional

usage. Given below are a few of the major fields where PPT is
extremely useful:

 Education – With e-learning and smart classes being chosen as a

common mode of education today, PowerPoint presentations can
help in making education more interactive and attract students
towards the modified version of studying

 Marketing – In the field of marketing, PowerPoint presentations

can be extremely important. Using graphs and charts, numbers can
be shown more evidently and clearly which may be ignored by the
viewer if being read

 Business – To invite investors or to show the increase or decrease

in profits, MS PowerPoint can be used

 Creating Resumes – Digital resumes can be formed using MS

PowerPoint. Different patterns, photograph, etc. can be added to
the resume
 Depicting Growth – Since both graphics and text can be added in
a presentation, depicting the growth of a company, business,
student’s marks, etc. is easier using PPT

 COMMON TERMINOLOGIES USED IN MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT
 Slide and Slideshow

Think back to the days of the old-fashioned slideshow that used a slide
projector. PowerPoint produces an updated version of sorts. Slideshows
can comprise text and graphics or be completely covered by a single
picture, as in a photo album.

Each page of a PowerPoint presentation is called a slide. The default

orientation of the slide is landscape. You can change the slide
orientation and the slide size. Add text, graphics, and pictures to the
slide to enhance its appeal and illustrate your point.

  Bullet or Bulleted List

Bullets are small dots, squares, dashes, or graphic objects that begin a
short descriptive phrase. Almost every slide type in PowerPoint contains
a placeholder text box for a bulleted list. You'll use these bulleted list
text boxes to enter key points or statements about your topic. When
creating the list, press Enter to add a new bullet for the next point you
want to add.

 Design Template

Think of a design template as a coordinated package deal. When

you decorate a room, you use colors and patterns that work
together. A design template acts in much the same way. Even
though different slide types can have different layouts and
graphics, the design template ties the whole presentation together
in an attractive package.

 Slide Layouts and Slide Types

The terms slide type and slide layout are used interchangeably.
PowerPoint has a few types of slide layouts. Depending on the type of
presentation you are creating, you may use several different slide layouts
or just keep repeating the same few.

Slide types/layouts include, for example:

 Title slides
 Section heading slides
 Picture with caption slides
 Content slides for adding charts, pictures, and tables
 Blank slides

 Slide Views

There are several ways to view slides and slideshows. These views are:

 Normal view: Also commonly known as slide view. It is the main

working window in the presentation. The slide is shown at its full
size on the screen.
 Outline view: Shows all the text of all slides, in a list on the left of
the PowerPoint screen. No graphics display in this view. Outline
view is useful for editing and can be exported as a Word document
to use as a summary handout.
 Slide Sorter view: Displays thumbnail versions of all your slides,
arranged in horizontal rows. This view is useful for making global
changes to several slides at one time. Rearranging or deleting
slides is easy to do in slide sorter view.
 Notes Page view: Shows a smaller version of a slide with an area
underneath for notes. Each slide is created on its own notes page.
Print these pages to use as a reference while making the
presentation. The notes do not show on the screen during the
presentation.

12
  Task Pane

Located on the right side of the screen, the task pane changes to show
options that are available for the current task that you are working on.
For example, when changing the background for a slide, the Format
Background task pane appears; when adding animations, you'll set
animation options in the Animation pane.

 Transition

Slide transitions are the visual effects that appear as one slide changes to
another. PowerPoint offers several different transitions, such as fade and
dissolve.

  Animations and Animation Schemes

In Microsoft PowerPoint, animations are visual effects applied to

individual items such as graphics, titles, or bullet points, rather than to
the slide itself. Apply preset visual effects to paragraphs, bulleted items,
and titles from a variety of animation groupings.

 Slide Master

The default design template when starting a PowerPoint presentation is a

plain, white slide. When you want to design your own template, use the
Slide Master. After you update the Slide Master with your design
choices, all the slides in your presentation will use the fonts, colors, and
graphics in the Slide Master. Each new slide that you create takes on
these aspects.
