PRESENTATION TOOL

A presentation is a sequential display of information using text, graphics, audio, video and animation.
Presentations are widely used at offices, schools, seminars, etc. to express and explain ideas to a group
of people. Some common presentation software includes PowerPoint, OpenOffice Impress, Apple
Keynote, etc.

PowerPoint 2019 is an application software developed by Microsoft. It allows us to create an attractive,
eye-catching and a professional presentation. We can add many exciting effects like audios, videos,
pictures, charts, etc. to our presentation.

CREATING A NEW PRESENTATION

A presentation is a collection of various slides. When you first start PowerPoint, the program automatically
starts a new presentation for you and it is by default named as ‘Presentation1’.

To create a new presentation, open PowerPoint 2019 and click on the Blank Presentation option in
the backstage view.

A new presentation opens with a blank slide with two placeholders which is called the Title slide. We
use the Title slide to add an introduction to our presentation.

A title slide displays the text placeholder, where the
