How to Cite PowerPoint Pictures
As digital material has become more and more diverse, learning how to cite a variety of sources has become increasingly challenging. One somewhat unusual source you might have to cite is a PowerPoint picture (or "slide"). Because PowerPoint presentations can be viewed either as individual slides or as a cohesive whole, depending on the user's settings, you cite PowerPoint documents as a whole rather than by specific slide. PowerPoint citation is the same in both Modern Language Associations (MLA) and American Psychological Association (APA) style.
