what is powerpoint

PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by Microsoft that creates a slide show of important information, charts, and images for a presentation. It is a complete presentation graphics package that offers word processing, outlining, drawing, graphing, and presentation management tools, all designed to be easy to use and learn. With PowerPoint, users can create presentations from scratch or a template, add text, images, art, and videos, select a professional design with PowerPoint Designer, add transitions, animations, and cinematic motion, and save to OneDrive to access presentations from a computer, tablet, or phone. PowerPoint is frequently used for business and school presentations. It was initially released on April 20, 1987, for Macintosh computers only, and Microsoft acquired PowerPoint for Windows on May 22, 1990. PowerPoint is available in 102 languages.
