MS PowerPoint
About Course
Description
Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program, created by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin at a software company named Forethought, Inc. Microsoft acquired PowerPoint and set up a new business unit for PowerPoint in Silicon Valley. PowerPoint was originally designed to provide visuals for group presentations within business organizations but has come to be very widely used in many other communication situations, both in business and beyond.
It is a standard component of the company’s Microsoft Office suite software, and is bundled together with Word, Excel and other Office productivity tools. The program uses slides to convey information rich in multimedia and is used to create complex business presentations, simple educational outlines and much more. PowerPoint allows users to create media-rich presentations constituted by a series of slides. Since it’s fully integrated with the other tools of the Microsoft Office suite, the user can import content created with Excel or Word into PowerPoint, as well as other media such as pictures, audio, and video clips.
