Function
-
Microsoft PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program that is part of Microsoft's Office software package. The program is commonly used as a video aid to make academic or business presentations.
Benefits
-
PowerPoint files can be used as a way to distribute presentation information digitally before or after a presentation is given so that an audience can focus on the presentation instead of taking notes.
-
Potential
-
MS PowerPoint 2003 files in the PPT format can be opened and edited with PowerPoint 2007 and 2010.
Considerations
-
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and 2010 use a different default file format than PowerPoint 2003 called PPTX. PPTX is not directly compatible with PowerPoint 2003.
Solution
-
Files can be saved in the PPT format when working with PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 by choosing "Save As" and selecting the desired format.
