2. What Is
PowerPoint?:
Microsoft PowerPoint is more like a complete graphics
package used to make presentations. It comes with all
tools including, graphing, drawing, processing,
outlining and other presentation management tools
that are very easy to learn and use.

3. PowerPoint (or PPT for short) is a staple program
in the Microsoft Office software suite and comes
packaged with Microsoft Word and Excel. You can
use PPT on both Mac and PC, or any other
computer operating system via the cloud-based
Microsoft Office 365.

4. With PowerPoint, you can easily get your point
across, and share your stories with your audience.
Instead of verbally describing your product, you
can simply show people an image of your product.

5. As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand
words. And with PowerPoint, you have the power
to convey thousands of words with just a few
slides in your slideshow!
In addition to being a powerful presentation
software, PowerPoint is also very versatile. You
can use it to create many other types of files, such
as posters, infographics, videos, PDF, and more.

7. Making animated videos with PowerPoint can
save you a lot of time and struggle. It’s easy and a
few simple steps can help you create awesome
animated presentations.

8. What Is
PowerPoint Use
For?:

10. Use PowerPoint in lectures,
seminars, business
presentations,sales pitches,
and similar activities:
This is the most popular use of PowerPoint. Instead of
writing down their class lessons on whiteboards and
blackboards, lecturers can simply prepare their slides
in advance and present them in class.

11. This frees up the lecturer’s time as writing
down stuff on the board can take quite a
while which leads to students losing interest
in the lecture.
With a PowerPoint lesson, lecturers can go
through each point on the slideshow and
engage or interact with their students
directly.

13. Use PowerPoint to
make tutorial
slideshows and
videos:
People love visual tutorials because they can easily
understand how something is done or made. They
don’t have to read through 10 pages of text to
understand something.

14. When making tutorials on PowerPoint, you can
either use screenshots (static images of your
screen), or you can record your activities on your
screen.
Taking screenshots is relatively easy. In most
cases, you simply need to press the PrintScreen
button on your keyboard, and you’ll have your
screenshot.

16. Use PowerPoint to
make infographics,
visual resumes, and
other graphics:
As I’ve mentioned earlier in this article, PowerPoint is
a very versatile presentation software. You don’t have
to use Photoshop, Canva, or any other graphics
software to create infographics.

17. Over the years, people have come to appreciate
the many benefits of creating infographics.
Infographics get more shares on social media, get
more backlinking opportunities, and people
appreciate the fact that they don’t have to read a
thousand words when they can get all the
information they need in a single infographic.

19. Use PowerPoint
to make photo
slideshows:
PowerPoint may seem like a software strictly for
business, but did you know you can also use it for
pleasure?

20. For instance, if you’ve recently been away on
vacation, and you’ve taken a thousand pictures of
things you want your family and friends to see,
then you can easily use PowerPoint to create a
photo slideshow.
Of course, you don’t want to bore your friends
with your selfies, so make sure you pick only the
very best photos of your vacation.

22. Use PowerPoint in
trade show booths
and kiosks:
Self-run PowerPoint slideshows or presentations are a
common sight in trade shows, trade fairs, trade
exhibitions, and the like. Trade events are great for
networking, and for getting more leads and sales for
your business.

23. Looping a PowerPoint slideshow allows people to
get to know more about your brand or your
business. Make your slideshow as engaging as
possible.
Don’t use boring templates that will literally make
people run off in the opposite direction. You want
people to approach your booth, not run away!
