Introduction
PowerPoint is a program used to create multimedia presentations that has been a part of the Microsoft Office Suite for many years. Presentations made using PowerPoint can be displayed in several formats:
Lecture Notes-- Presentations that are used by a speaker or lecturer to organize and structure talks.
Kiosks-- Standalone presentations that viewers browse at computer workstations
Rolling Displays-- Many schools use PowerPoint to create rolling displays that greet those who enter the building.
Web pages-- Presentations can be saved as web pages and navigated in visitors' web browsers; this works best when visitors use Internet Explorer.
This section introduces the components of simple PowerPoint presentations.
