Application Overview:
Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint is a graphical presentation program that helps you create professional, attention-getting presentations. Your presentations can include animations, transitions between slides, charts, and multimedia elements, including pictures, movies, and sounds. If you insert items that do not fit the current layout, Microsoft PowerPoint may automatically adjust the layout. You can insert text created in other programs into the Outline tab and get automatic formatting into titles and body text. Documents in Microsoft Word (.doc) format, Rich Text Format (.rtf), and plain text (.txt) can be used this way. A document in HTML format can be inserted into your presentation, retaining its heading structure and appearing within a text box.

You can add music and sounds from files on your computer, a network, the Internet, or Microsoft Clip Organizer. You can also record your own sounds to add to a presentation, or use music from a CD.

Users: Admin, Creative, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Marketing and IT Professionals as well as anyone who needs create, edit, assemble, publish and distribute electronic presentations.
