Understanding MS PowerPoint - What is
PowerPoint?
THE COMMONLY ACCEPTED DEFINITION OF MICROSOFT
POWERPOINT IS "THE PRESENTATION SOFTWARE APPLICATION
OF THE MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE." WITH SOPHISTICATED, YET
EASY TO USE GRAPHICAL AND ANIMATION CAPABILITIES,
POWERPOINT IS OFTEN A VITAL COMPONENT OF BUSINESS
MEETINGS AND CLASSROOM LECTURES ALIKE.
What is Microsoft PowerPoint used for?
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF MS POWERPOINT IS TO ENABLE THE USER TO
CREATE DYNAMIC, INFORMATIONAL SLIDE SHOWS THROUGH THE USE OF
TEXT, GRAPHICS, AND ANIMATION. SLIDE SHOWS CREATED WITH THE
SOFTWARE ARE OFTEN DISPLAYED ON PROJECTION SCREENS FOR
BUSINESS, TRAINING, OR EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS, ALTHOUGH
THEY CAN BE DISTRIBUTED AS STAND-ALONE FILES. ADDITIONALLY, THE
SLIDES CAN BE ARRANGED AND PRINTED AS HANDOUTS FOR
REFERENCE.
HISTORY ON MICROSOFT POWERPOINT
PowerPoint was first developed by Dennis Austin and
Thomas Rudkin at Forethought Inc. It was supposed to
be named Presenter, but the name was not adapted due
to trademark issues. It was renamed as PowerPoint in
1987 as suggested by Robert Gaskins. In August of
1987, Microsoft bought Forethought for $14 million and
turned it into its graphics business unit, where the
company continued to develop the software.
Features of Microsoft PowerPoint
WITH POWERPOINT, YOU CAN MAKE CHARTS,
TABLES, AND MACROS, AND INSERT IMAGES,
AUDIO, VIDEO, AND OTHER MULTIMEDIA FILES,
EITHER BY EMBEDDING THEM INTO THE FILE OR,
IF YOUR VERSION DOESN’T SUPPORT THE
PARTICULAR FILE, LINKING TO IT IN A SLIDE.
PowerPoint 2007 added improved visual
effects, such as shading and beveling, to
give slide shows a more professionally
designed look. A live preview option is also
available in the 2007 version.
With an abundance of features and
possible applications, "versatility"
would perhaps be a more succinct
definition of Microsoft PowerPoint.
