PowerPoint enables users to view presentations in different views like Normal, Slide Sorter, and Notes Page views. It allows formatting slides by changing colors, zooming in and out, and opening multiple presentations simultaneously. Properties, file formats, printing, alignments, spacing, bullets, and themes can all be customized in PowerPoint to modify presentations.
