Answer 1

PowerPoint is a complete presentation program that allows you to produce professional-looking presentations. A PowerPoint presentation also is called a slide show. PowerPoint contains several features to simplify creating a slide show. To make presentations more impressive, you can add diagrams, tables, pictures, video, sound, and animation effects. Additional PowerPoint features include the following:
• Word processing - Create bulleted lists, combine words and images, find and replace text, and use multiple fonts and font sizes.
• Outlining - Develop a presentation using an outline format. You also can import outlines from Microsoft Word or other word processing programs, including single-level and multilevel lists.
• Charting - Create and insert charts into presentations and then add effects and chart elements.
• Drawing - Create and modify diagrams using shapes such as arcs, arrows, cubes, rectangles, stars, and triangles. Then, customize and add effects to the diagrams, and arrange these objects by sizing, scaling, and rotating them.
• Inserting multimedia - Insert artwork and multimedia effects into a slide show. The Microsoft Clip Organizer, included with Office programs, contains hundreds of media files, including pictures, sounds, and movies.
• Saving to the Web - Save presentations or parts of a presentation so that they can be viewed in a Web browser. You can publish your slide show to the Internet or to an intranet.
• E-mailing - Send an entire slide show as an attachment to an e-mail message.
• Collaborating - Share a presentation with friends and coworkers. Ask them to review the slides and then insert comments that offer suggestions to enhance the presentation.
• Preparing delivery - Rehearse integrating PowerPoint slides into your speech by setting timings, using presentation tools, showing only selected slides in a presentation, and packaging the presentation for an optical disc.
