The Complete PowerPoint: PowerPoint is widely-used presentation or slideshow software. Millions of people use this powerful software in presentations in any setting, no matter how big or small the venue. In fact, it’s probably the first presentation software that comes to mind when people are asked to present something in front of their class or company meeting. PowerPoint (or PPT for short) is a staple program in the Microsoft Office software suite and comes packaged with Microsoft Word and Excel. You can use PPT on both Mac and PC, or any other computer operating system via the cloud-based Microsoft Office 365.

With PowerPoint, you can easily get your point across, and share your stories with your audience. Instead of verbally describing your product, you can simply show people an image of your product. As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. And with PowerPoint, you have the power to convey thousands of words with just a few slides in your slideshow!. In addition to being powerful presentation software, PowerPoint is also very versatile. You can use it to create many other types of files, such as posters, info graphics, videos, PDF, and more.
