This document discusses the benefits of using PowerPoint presentations. It notes that PowerPoint provides an effective tool for marketing and presenting information to clients. It should be used simply to convey key ideas through simple slides with captions and animations only when needed. PowerPoint presentations can be used to introduce new projects, summarize company growth, or demonstrate a project's authenticity to clients. The document outlines how PowerPoint presentations have evolved over time to incorporate animation, multimedia, and become a standard part of presentations in offices, classrooms, and other settings. It provides tips for effective PowerPoint use, such as incorporating graphics, animations, and transitions sparingly and focusing the screen layout. Rehearsals are recommended to ensure an effective presentation

1. PowerPoint Presentation PPT :
a low cost and effective tool

2. PPT presentation provides your organization the edge it needs.
In the era where innumerable companies are started every day, the need
for effective publicity and marketing strategies are required to show the
public or your targeted clients the caliber of your organization.
When it comes to PowerPoint Presentation, “little is more “is the mantra.
It shouldn't be used as a means to give a written speech on a big screen; it
should be a simple tool to convey your idea. PPT’s are of great use when
time is a constraint. PPT should have simple slides with effective captions
that summarize the whole idea in a couple of lines with animations if
needed. The slides should cover the aspects that are prominent and make
you stand out from the rest.
PPT’s are effective in many ways.
They can be noted shortly as:
1.To present a new project that might substantially increase you growth.
2. To show the summary of the company’s growth.
3. To show your clients the genuine nature of your project

3. We had hand-drawn images, slides, overhead projectors and a lot of
gadgetry to make our presentations effective. Times have changed and
so have technologies. Animation and Multimedia tasks have become
sophisticated. Presentations are no more limited to classrooms. They are
everywhere. Just walk out of your office and there stands a mobile
company salesman voicing structured rhetoric about products that are
blurringly set in peep holes. Right across him stands a girl balancing a
crystal clear container drawn from a zero-bacteria can and the perspiring
pedestrian cannot wait to have a sip.
Lovely presentations and effective too. But Microsoft isn’t satisfied. Like
always they are one-up on the competition. They have PowerPoint
Presentations evolved in 1990 and in current versions MS Office PPT 2010
for Windows and MS Office PPT 2011 for Mac. The net and Visual media
are all over the place. Be it a school auditorium or a boardroom, a
presentation has now come to be synonymous with PPT Presentation.

4. PPT Presentation begins with the creation of a theme. A theme is a
coordinated set of fonts, colours and graphic effects appearing at the top of
a page that can be applied to the entire document. It also includes the slide
master and slide layout for background options. Audios (recorded
narrations) and videos can be suitably mixed to give audio-visual
transparency to the presentation. Graphical content like Charts or Diagrams
can easily trounce a monologue that would rather invite a resonant drone
of a snore. Animations and Transitions inserted in the right places in right
dosages can be very appealing.
Because of their hyper effect overdoing animation can be a total distraction
for the original presentation. The Screen Layout could get the audience
focused. A poor picture can also turn them off.
The PPT Presentation can even be made with notes appearing on the side
and slides published in handouts. With the large repertoire of tools available
it is necessary to get it right the first time. Rehearsals are possible so we need
not miss out on anything. All the same the whole PPT Presentation is to be
trimmed to a manageable size so that everyone hears the last word on the
subject.

5. PPT Presentation is pretty simple to start with. If we have a
PowerPoint program Word and Excel also become available
automatically. To begin with we download a free PPT file and open
it with PowerPoint. We can now examine the slides and learn to add
pictures and titles as we examine them. Soon through a trial and
error method and, of course, the inevitable “Help?” Symbol we are
on our way. Before signing out let us hear this from Vint Serf,
“Power corrupts and PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.”
