This document provides an overview of PowerPoint's history and functionality, how it can be used for presentations in various settings like education and business, and tips for making PowerPoint presentations more engaging through animation, customization, and multimedia additions.
PowerPoint originated as presentation software created by Forethought, Inc. and was later acquired by Microsoft. It allows users to create slide-based presentations incorporating text, graphics, videos and other objects. Effective use of PowerPoint as a teaching tool can engage students through visual elements and interactivity, though it also risks becoming teacher-centered or reducing complex topics. Presenters should consider pedagogical strategies that promote active learning and critical thinking when using PowerPoint.

2. • PowerPoint is a complete presentation
graphics package. It gives you everything
you need to produce a professional-looking
presentation. PowerPoint offers word
processing, outlining, drawing, graphing,
and presentation management tools- all
designed to be easy to use and learn.
3. • When you create a presentation using PowerPoint, the
presentation is made up of a series of slides. The slides that you
create using PowerPoint can also be presented as overhead
transparencies or 35mm slides.
• In addition to slides, you can print audience handouts, outlines,
and speaker's notes.
• You can format all the slides in a presentation using the powerful
ºÝºÝߣ Master which will be covered in the tutorial.
• You can keep your entire presentation in a single file- all your
slides, speaker's notes, and audience handouts.
• You can import what you have created in other Microsoft products,
such as Word and Excel into any of your slides.
4. • Microsoft PowerPoint is the name of a
proprietary commercial presentation
program developed by Microsoft. It was
officially launched on May 22, 1990 as a
part of the Microsoft Office suite, and runs
on Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS
X operating system. The current versions
are Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2010 for
Windows and Microsoft Office PowerPoint
2011 for Mac.
5. • Originally designed for the Macintosh computer, the initial
release was called "Presenter", developed by Dennis
Austin[not in citation given] and Thomas Rudkin[not in
citation given] of Forethought, Inc. In 1987, it was
renamed to "PowerPoint" due to problems with
trademarks, the idea for the name coming from Robert
Gaskins. In August of the same year, Forethought was
bought by Microsoft for $14 million USD ($28.6 million in
present-day terms), and became Microsoft's Graphics
Business Unit, which continued to develop the software
further. PowerPoint was officially launched on May 22,
1990, the same day that Microsoft released Windows 3.0.
6. • PowerPoint introduced many new changes
with the release of PowerPoint 97. Prior to
PowerPoint 97, presentations were linear,
always proceeding from one slide to the
next. PowerPoint 97 incorporated the
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
language, underlying all macro generation
in Office 97, which allowed users to invoke
pre-defined transitions and effects in a
non-linear movie-like style without having
to learn programming.
7. • Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer is a program
used to run presentations on computers that do
not have PowerPoint installed. Office PowerPoint
Viewer is added by default to the same disk or
network location that contains one or more
presentations packaged by using the Package
for CD feature.
• PowerPoint Viewer is installed by default with a
Microsoft Office 2003 installation for use with the
Package for CD feature. The PowerPoint Viewer
file is also available for download from the
Microsoft Office Online Web site.
9. • In PowerPoint 2011, several key features have
been added. Screen Capturing allows for taking
a screen capture[disambiguation needed] and
adding it into the document. It is now possible to
remove background images, and there are
additional special effects that can be used with
pictures, such as 'Pencil effects'. Additional
transitions are also available. However, the
ability to apply certain text effects directly onto
existing text, as seen in Microsoft Word is not
available; a separate WordArt text box is still
required.
10. • PowerPoint is usually referred to as
"PowerPoint" in the software screens or
help. It is also referred to sometimes as
"Microsoft PowerPoint", "Office
PowerPoint", and "Microsoft Office
PowerPoint Word 2010". They all
represent the PowerPoint presentation
software.
11. • The main purpose of MS PowerPoint is to enable
the user to create dynamic, informational slides
through the use of text, graphics, and animation.
ºÝºÝߣ presentations created with the software are
often displayed on projection screens for
business, training, or educational presentations,
although they can be distributed as stand-alone
files. Additionally, the slides can be arranged and
printed to PDF handouts for reference.
12. • With Microsoft PowerPoint, you can make charts, tables,
and macros, and insert images, audio, video, and other
multimedia files. With the new release of Microsoft Office
2010, many advanced features were added in
PowerPoint 2010. Below list several new features in
PowerPoint 2010 for your reference.
1. Embed and edit video from within PowerPoint.
2. Use new and improved picture editing tools.
3. Work together more successfully.
4. Access and share your content from more places.
13. • When beginning a new slide show, PowerPoint provides
an array of templates to choose from. Experienced users
with a specific look in mind can start with a blank
presentation for setting attributes, such as colors and
fonts, to their own specifications. After creating the initial
file, the next step is to create a slide, which can be done
by using an auto layout, or a blank screen in order to add
components manually. You can then choose to add a
combination of text and graphics to suit the needs of the
presentation, and apply animation to either of these
elements to create a dynamic effect. You can add as
many slides and make them as content-rich as your
system can handle; there are no limits imposed in the
software itself.
14. • PowerPoint Presentations are a way of attracting
audience towards your views and arguments. It
is one of the most helping factors behind
success of every meeting. There are various
uses of power point presentations, some of them
are integrated. The most popular uses of power
point presentations are in modern days learning,
corporate training sessions, business and
marketing meetings, and sales gatherings.
15. • Bring more energy and visual impact to your
presentations.
• Work with others without having to wait your turn.
• Add a personalized video experience.
• Imagine just-in-time show and tell.
• Access your presentations from more locations
and on more devices.
16. • Your presentation should be to the point and focusing
over actual purpose.
• There should be a professional look deciding your
organizations identity.
• You need to practice properly before delivering a
presentation in any seminars.
• There should be less text, and maximum possible
graphics in presentations.
• Take care of your time, users positive responses, and
their ease, don't make people bored with longer duration
presentations.
• There should be uniform colors and font appearance
throughout the presentation to avoid in-convenience.
17. 1. Write a script.
2. One thing at a time, please.
3. No paragraphs.
4. Pay attention to design.
5. Use images sparingly
6. Think outside the screen.
7. Have a hook.
19. • If you get lost, you can casually look at the power
point for guidance
• People can register the info more as they can
observe the PP
• Images and good Presentation can make the PP
more engaging
• Good for Reference at the end, if they ask
questions
• Looks more professional
20. • Limit the words, otherwise clutter with be off
putting
• Make sure you understand the slides before
presenting otherwise you may rush
• Make sure the background and text are clear to
the audience
• Obviously with technology thing can go wrong
such as computers/USB losing data etc.,
