                 Presentation software is a type of application software used to create, design, and deliver slideshows to
                 communicate information effectively. It combines text, images, audio, video, animations, and other multimedia
                 elements to create engaging and professional presentations.
                 LibreOffice Impress is a free and open-source presentation software of the LibreOffice suite. This software
                 allows you to create presentations with text, graphics, and animations. Impress presentations can be opened
                 in Microsoft PowerPoint, though they may look little different.
                 Impress works on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. If you need a cloud-based platform to work on
                 presentations, you can use Microsoft Office 365 PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Microsoft SkyDrive PowerPoint.
                 Formatting in Impress is similar to LibreOffice Writer and Calc.
