The Power Point

The Power Point

Power Point or PowerPoint is the name of one of the most popular programs created by Microsoft . It is a software that allows presentations through slides .

The program contemplates the possibility of using text, images, music and animations. In this way, the creativity of the user is decisive so that the presentations are attractive and manage to maintain the receiver's attention.

About this program we have to say that it has to revolve around three fundamental functions: 

An editor, which serves not only to write text but also to give it the desired format (size, typography, color, alignment ...). 

A system that is responsible for being able to insert both photographs and audios and even video files. All these elements that complement and reinforce the textual content. 

3. A system that proceeds to show all the content, whatever the type, in an absolutely continuous manner.

Power Point is part of the Microsoft Office office suitetogether with Word , Exceland other programs. Due to its characteristics, it is the best option offered by Microsoft to dictate a class, launch a product or communicate an idea to an audience.

The most direct competitor that has the Microsoft Office package responds to the name of OpenOffice and is also identified by having a series of programs that come to be rivals of those that shape the first pack. In the case of Power Point, its "enemy" is none other than OpenOffice Impress.

In the business field, to carry out the presentation of projects or reports of results, the software in question is frequently used. However, where it is also becoming increasingly present is in the field of teaching.

Thus, there are many teachers who have found in Power Point presentations the ideal tool to develop in class the different subjects and their specific subjects. And they bring with them many advantages, such as these: 

-They keep the attention of the students, both for the content and for the colors, images, audio or videos that they incorporate. 

-They allow to summarize in a clear and simple way the main aspects of the topic to be treated. Hence, it facilitates their understanding by students.

Let's suppose that a scientist should give a lecture . For this, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that displays on a giant screen, installed in the center of the stage. While the scientist speaks, the screen shows different slides with the main ideas, graphs and other information. The speaker himself is responsible for deciding when to move to the next slide through a mouse, a stylus or another tool.

Power Point presentations can also be shared through a computer , without the need for a public event. A young man can create a presentation to greet his father for his birthday and send it to the honoree as an attachment to an email. In these cases, compatibility problems are likely to arise if the receiver does not have the same version of Power Point or can not view the file with the presentation if it does not have the program installed on its own computer.
