 What is Presentation
Software?
• A presentation software is a
computer software package used to
display information, normally in the
form of a slide show. It typically
includes three major functions: an
editor that allows text to be inserted
and formatted, a method for
inserting and manipulating graphic
images and a slide-show system to
display the content.
• The most commonly known presentation
software is Microsoft PowerPoint,
although there are alternatives such as
Openoffice.org Impress and Apple's
Keynote. Adobe Acrobat is also a (less)
popular tool for presentation which can
be used to easily link other
presentations of whatever kind.
• Another kind of presentation software
are Mind Map programs which may be
convenient to adapt a presentation
dependent upon the reaction of the
audience. It is based on a similar
hierarchical tree but the tree can be
explored, accessed and developed at
each node according to the presenter's
talk. They offer printings of any sub tree
and also include the faculty of move and
zoom. Its typical use is for lectures.
Some examples of
Presentation
Software…
 Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft PowerPoint is a proprietary presentation
software developed by Microsoft. It is part of the
Microsoft Office system, and runs on Microsoft
Windows and the Mac OS computer operating
systems.
• PowerPoint is widely used by business people,
educators, students, and trainers. The current
versions are Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 for
Windows and 2008 for Mac.

• PowerPoint presentations consist a number of individual pages or "slides". The
"slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device that has become
somewhat obsolete due to the use of PowerPoint and other presentation
software.
• Slides may contain text, graphics, movies, and other objects, which may be
arranged freely on the slide. PowerPoint, however, facilitates the use of a
consistent style in a presentation using a template or "Slide Master".
• The presentation can be printed or displayed live on a computer and navigated
through at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer
display is often projected using a video projector. Slides can also form the
basis of webcasts.
• PowerPoint provides three types of movements:
1. Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide itself are controlled by what
PowerPoint calls Custom Animations
2. Transitions, on the other hand are movements between slides. These can be
animated in a variety of ways
3. Custom animation can be used to create small story boards by animating pictures to
enter, exit or move
• With callouts, speech bubbles with edited text can be sent on and off to
create speech. The overall design of a presentation can be controlled with a
master slide; and the overall structure, extending to the text on each slide,
can be edited using a primitive outliner.
• Presentations can be saved and run in any of the file formats: the default .ppt
(presentation), .pps (PowerPoint Show) or .pot (template). In PowerPoint 2007
and Mac OS X 2008 versions, the XML-based file formats .pptx, .ppsx, .potx
have been introduced, along with the macro-enabled file formats .pptm, .potm,
.ppsm.
 OpenOffice.org Impress
• OpenOffice.org Impress, a part of the OpenOffice.org
office suite and developed by Sun Microsystems, is a
presentation software similar to Microsoft PowerPoint.
In addition to being able to create PDF files from
presentations, it is also able to export presentations to
SWF files allowing them to be played on any computer
with a Flash player installed. It is able to view, edit and
save files in several file formats, including the .ppt
format, which is used by Microsoft PowerPoint.
• The program lacks ready-made presentation designs,
although third-party templates are readily available on
the Internet. An advantage that Impress has over
PowerPoint is that it is distributed under an open
source license and so is freely available for download
without charge.
• OpenOffice.org Impress users can install the Open Clip
Art Library, which adds a large gallery of images for
general presentation and drawing projects. Linux
distributions Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva and Ubuntu
have provided the ready-to-use open clipart package

 Apple’s Keynote
• A keynote in literature, music or public speaking is the principal
underlying theme. In the corporate or commercial environment of
the UK and Europe, greater importance is attached to the delivery
of a keynote speech or keynote address. The keynote will lay
down the framework for the following programmed of events or
convention agenda, frequently the role of keynote speaker will
also include the role of convention moderator. It will also flag up a
larger idea — a literary story, an individual musical piece or event.
• At political or industrial conventions and expositions and at
academic conferences, the keynote address or keynote speech is
delivered to set the underlying tone and summarize the core
message or most important revelation of the event. Some of the
more famous keynote speeches in the United States are those at
the party conventions during Democratic and Republican
presidential campaigns. Keynote speakers at these events have
often gained nationwide fame (or notoriety), and have
occasionally influenced the course of the election; for example,
Barack Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
• Keynote speeches are also given at the graduation and
commencement ceremonies of colleges, universities, and
major high schools, usually by accomplished academics or
celebrities invited by the student body.
• Keynote speakers are often selected to raise interest in a
particular event, such as a conference or large meeting
sponsored by a corporation or association, and draw
attendees to attend that program. Selecting a keynote
speaker who is well known for his or her expertise in a
particular field, or who has wide name recognition due to
other accomplishments, will likely raise enthusiasm among
prospective attendees for a meeting or conference.
• Typically a keynote presenter speaks for anywhere from 45
to 60 minutes. Although many speakers are honored to
attend the event and may earn publicity in their own right
for their presentation, for larger or corporate sponsored
events, an honorarium or speakers fee is generally paid.
