PowerPoint is one of the Microsoft Office programs used for creating and demonstrating presentations. The software has been first introduced in 1987 for Macintosh and has been a part of Microsoft Office lineup since it has appeared.

Design and navigation: Vanguard of Office

As it is one of the first and most popular Office programs, PowerPoint gets constant updates, including the design improvements. It keeps in line with other Office software and is rather modern and functional.

As for the navigation, rules of Office software are also applicable to PowerPoint: it is easy and intuitive to create simple presentations, but requires some training for professional use. Casual users would instantly understand how it works, as the most essential features are available through several clicks. At the same time, mastering the program to create profound presentations might take weeks of learning.

Features and usability: Presentations Made Simple

PowerPoint has several basic features concerning creating the presentations. Long story short, it allows to create slides and fill them with content. This includes importing pictures, aligning text, changing the sequence of slides, import videos, creating animations for all elements and many more. PowerPoint lets the users create truly unique presentations, but also offers an option to create a simple presentation fast: there is a number of design and slide presets. The software is also deeply integrated with other Office products and allows, for example, to create a table with using data from an Excel file, or to copy text from Word without using the font settings.

Security: Office Level Safety

As for security, PowerPoint offers all the necessary options. It is possible to protect your presentation by a password, though there is much hacking software available on the Internet. In order to properly protect the files, it is necessary to use Microsoft IRM. In case you need even more security, you should look for external DRM protection software in the Internet.

Conclusion: Head and Shoulders Above the Rest

Despite there is a lot of other presentation software available for PC or mobile devices, PowerPoint remains the king of the hill, as Microsoft has all budgets in the world to make it perfect. We would definitely recommend PowerPoint both to newbies and profound users, as it meets all the possible needs of a presentation creator.
