 FORMAT
PowerPoint presentations usually begin with a
title slide that may contain the name or the topic of
the presentation and sometimes the name(s) of the
presenter(s).
The title slide is followed by content slides that
contain information usually in the form of text---
often in the form of a bulleted list---and sometimes
graphics. Examples of graphics include charts, graphs,
diagrams, screenshots, photos, movies and
animations.
A final slide or group of slides is sometimes
included to wrap up the presentation, for example
"Conclusions," "References" or a slide with the text
"Questions?".
FEATURES
include a wizard that walks you through the presentation creation process.

Design templates---prepackaged background designs and font styles that will be

applied to all slides, or you can create your own slide design if desired using a
combination of layout arrangement, background color, text font and color, and extras
such as call-out boxes, graphics (from clip art or from a file), photos, diagrams and
movies.

Sound can be added from a PowerPoint library of sounds, from a saved music file,
from a CD, or sound can be recorded using a microphone.

When viewing a presentation, slide progression can be manual, using the computer
mouse or keyboard to progress to the next slide, or slides can be set up to progress after
a specified length of time.
 Slide introductions and transitions can be added to the slides. For example "fade
through black," "checkerboard across" or "random transition."

Viewing Presentations
PowerPoint presentations can be viewed on a computer on which PowerPoint
software is installed. Alternatively, PowerPoint Viewer is available for free download
from Microsoft's website for individual use. PowerPoint presentations can be viewed
using PowerPoint Viewer, but cannot be created or edited.
