PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft Company. It is comprised with standard Office suite along with Microsoft Word and Excel. The software provides users to create anything from basic slide shows to complex presentations.
PowerPoint is a complete presentation graphics package. PowerPoint is often used to create business presentations, educational or informal purposes. The presentations are incorporated with slides, which may have text, images, and other media like audio clips and movies. Animated transitions and sound effects can also be included to add extra appearance to the presentation
Mostly PowerPoint presentations are created from a template, including background color or image, a standard font, and a choice of several slide layouts. All changes to the template can be saved to a “master slide,” which stores the main slide theme used in the presentation. When changes are done to the master slide, such as choosing a new background image, the changes are expanded to each and every slide. This keeps a identical look among all the slides in the presentation.
