What is Microsoft PowerPoint?
Why Would I Want to Use
PowerPoint?

part of the Microsoft Office group of programs

PowerPoint presentations use pictures and text to help illustrate
what you’re talking about
...
PowerPoint is widely used in business and classrooms and is an effective tool
when used for training purposes
...
While you are talking, a slideshow gives listeners
something to look at
...
Presentations made with PowerPoint can be simple or elaborate

Templates are presentations that already include beautiful
backgrounds and fonts

On the other hand, you can create presentations from
scratch without the help of the computer
