Introduction-
PowerPoint is a presentation software program that is part of the
Microsoft Office package. PowerPoint uses a graphical approach to
presentations in the form of slide shows that accompany the oral
delivery of the topic. This program is widely used in business and
classrooms and is an effective tool when used for training purposes.
PowerPoint is one of the simplest computer programs to learn. It is the
no. 1 program used worldwide for presentations. Anyone can create
stunning presentations that look like they were designed by a
professional. PowerPoint presentations can be made into photo albums,
complete with music or narrations, to distribute on CDs or DVDs. If you
are in the sales field, it involves just a few simple clicks to add an
illustrative chart of data or an organizational chart of your company's
structure. Make your presentation into a web page for emailing purposes
or as a promotion displayed on your company's website. It is easy to
customize presentations with your company logo and to dazzle your
audience by using one of the many design templates that come with the
programs. Many more free add-ins and templates are available online
from Microsoft and a host of other websites. In addition to an on screen
slide show, PowerPoint has printing options that allow the presenter to
provide handouts and outlines for the audience as well as notes pages for
the speaker to refer to during the presentation. All in all, PowerPoint is a
"one-stop-shop" to create successful presentations for the business
world, the classroom or just for your own personal use.

Main Tools in PowerPoint-
The Office Button-
At the top left hand corner, we find the "Office" button. When we click on this
button, we have access to commonly used functions in "PowerPoint'', such as
"New", "Open" and "Save" and "Print". This pretty much replaces the "File"
button which was present in the previous versions of "Word".

5. 5
Quick Access toolbar-
To its right, in the title bar, we find the "Quick Access toolbar" .By default, this
toolbar comes with the "Save", "Undo" and "Redo" buttons .The "Quick Access"
toolbar is the only toolbar wherein we can add or remove buttons.
Title Bar-
In the middle of the title bar, we find the name of our file and the name of the
application. On the right side of the title bar we have the "Minimize" "Maximize"
and "Close" buttons.
Ribbon-
Under the title bar, we have the "Ribbon" .In the "Ribbon", we find all the
commands that can be used, in "PowerPoint". The "Ribbon" replaces the various
tools, in the various toolbars we had, in previous versions of "PowerPoint".
Status Bar-
At the bottom of the window, we have the "Status bar", containing the different
view buttons and the zoom slider.
