 Power point presentation
• POWERPOINT IS A PRESENTATION PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY MICROSOFT.
IT IS INCLUDED IN THE STANDARD OFFICE SUITE ALONG WITH MICROSOFT
WORD AND EXCEL. THE SOFTWARE ALLOWS USERS TO CREATE ANYTHING
FROM BASIC SLIDE SHOWS TO COMPLEX PRESENTATIONS.
POWERPOINT IS OFTEN USED TO CREATE BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS, BUT
CAN ALSO BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL OR INFORMAL PURPOSES. THE
PRESENTATIONS ARE COMPRISED OF SLIDES, WHICH MAY CONTAIN TEXT,
IMAGES, AND OTHER MEDIA, SUCH AS AUDIO CLIPS AND MOVIES. SOUND
EFFECTS AND ANIMATED TRANSITIONS CAN ALSO BE INCLUDED TO ADD
EXTRA APPEAL TO THE PRESENTATION. HOWEVER, OVERUSING SOUND
EFFECTS AND TRANSITIONS WILL PROBABLY DO MORE TO ANNOY YOUR
AUDIENCE THAN DRAW THEIR ATTENTION. (YES, WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE
CAR SCREECHING NOISE ENOUGH TIMES FOR ONE LIFETIME.)
MOST POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS ARE CREATED 
Most PowerPoint presentations are created from a template, which
includes a background color or image, a standard font, and a choice of
several slide layouts. Changes to the template can be saved to a "master
slide," which stores the main slide theme used in the presentation. When
changes are made to the master slide, such as choosing a new
background image, the changes are propagated to all the other slides.
This keeps a uniform look among all the slides in the presentation.

WHEN PRESENTING A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, THE PRESENTER MAY

CHOOSE TO HAVE THE SLIDES CHANGE AT PRESET INTERVALS OR MAY
DECIDE TO CONTROL THE FLOW MANUALLY. THIS CAN BE DONE USING
THE MOUSE, KEYBOARD, OR A REMOTE CONTROL. THE FLOW OF THE
PRESENTATION CAN BE FURTHER CUSTOMIZED BY HAVING SLIDES LOAD
COMPLETELY OR ONE BULLET AT A TIME. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE PRESENTER
HAS SEVERAL BULLET POINTS ON A PAGE, HE MIGHT HAVE INDIVIDUAL
POINTS APPEAR WHEN HE CLICKS THE MOUSE. THIS ALLOWS MORE
INTERACTIVITY WITH THE AUDIENCE AND BRINGS GREATER FOCUS TO
EACH POINT.
 Creation at Forethought (1984–1987)
POWERPOINT WAS CREATED BY ROBERT GASKINS AND DENNIS AUSTIN AT A SOFTWARE 
STARTUP IN SILICON VALLEY NAMED FORETHOUGHT, INC.[22] FORETHOUGHT HAD BEEN
FOUNDED IN 1983 TO CREATE AN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENT AND APPLICATIONS FOR
FUTURE PERSONAL COMPUTERS THAT WOULD PROVIDE A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE, BUT
IT HAD RUN INTO DIFFICULTIES REQUIRING A "RESTART" AND NEW PLAN. [23]
ON JULY 5, 1984, FORETHOUGHT HIRED ROBERT GASKINS AS ITS VICE PRESIDENT OF
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT[24](P51) TO CREATE A NEW APPLICATION THAT WOULD BE ESPECIALLY
SUITED TO THE NEW GRAPHICAL PERSONAL COMPUTERS, SUCH AS MICROSOFT WINDOWS
 AND APPLE MACINTOSH.[25] GASKINS PRODUCED HIS INITIAL DESCRIPTION OF POWERPOINT
ABOUT A MONTH LATER (AUGUST 14, 1984) IN THE FORM OF A 2-PAGE DOCUMENT TITLED
"PRESENTATION GRAPHICS FOR OVERHEAD PROJECTION." [26] BY OCTOBER 1984 GASKINS HAD
SELECTED DENNIS AUSTIN TO BE THE DEVELOPER FOR POWERPOINT. [27] GASKINS AND
AUSTIN WORKED TOGETHER ON THE DEFINITION AND DESIGN OF THE NEW PRODUCT FOR
NEARLY A YEAR, AND PRODUCED THE FIRST SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT DATED AUGUST 21,
1985.[28] THIS FIRST DESIGN DOCUMENT SHOWED A PRODUCT AS IT WOULD LOOK IN
MICROSOFT WINDOWS 1.0,[29]  WHICH AT THAT TIME HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED.
