                        What is Microsoft PowerPoint? 

Microsoft PowerPoint, widely known as PPT is a presentation creation tool used not only by the big companies in the market but also by students. You can design slides with a blend of text, images, shapes, animations, audio, and much more. In the end, all you gotta do is pop your presentation onto the big screen so that it is displayed to the audience or you can even design it as a personal document for yourself. Microsoft Company puts it this way, “PowerPoint is a slideshow presentation program that’s part of the Microsoft Office suite of tools. PowerPoint makes it easy to create, collaborate, and present your ideas in dynamic, visually compelling ways.” Microsoft PowerPoint is a professional presentation program that allows the user to create "presentation slides" that can be displayed on the computer screen or through a projector that is plugged into the computer. A PowerPoint presentation is a good way to convey pieces of information, usually in the form of an outline, to a large audience. Generally, PowerPoint presentations are appealing to users because they are easy to create and edit and generally small enough to fit onto a CD or a USB Jump Drive. 

Therefore, a user does not have to carry around any slides or slide projector, and, if necessary, can make any last-minute changes to the presentation.
