FEATURES
Features of Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows
Templates and slide master
Create a shared layout in desktop PowerPoint with the fonts, background, and content placeholders you need. A saved template helps keep future presentations consistent.
Animation of objects
Configure how text or shapes appear, move and disappear, and set effect order and duration. This helps reveal a complex diagram in stages during an explanation.
Slide transitions
Choose a slide transition and its settings to connect the sections of your presentation. Use one suitable transition throughout for a consistent slideshow.
Tables on slides
Create tables directly in a presentation and fill them with data. This format helps compare options, show a work plan or present several metrics compactly.
Photos and illustrations
Add images from files to slides and size them to fit the composition. Illustrations help explain a point and reduce the amount of text on screen.
Speaker notes
Keep notes for each slide separate from the main content. In desktop Presenter View, the speaker sees the notes while the audience sees the presentation itself.
Export slides to PDF
Save the presentation as a PDF with a fixed layout. The recipient can view the materials without PowerPoint, and you can share a final version for reading.
Links and navigation
Add hyperlinks to useful resources and relevant slides. This helps create a presentation with links to details, sources and additional explanations.
Preparing fonts
Embedding fonts that permit embedding helps when transferring a presentation to another computer.
