Introductions

Microsoft PowerPoint is a professional presentation program that allows the user to

create "presentation slides" that can be displayed on the computer screen or through a
projector that is plugged into the computer. A PowerPoint presentation is a good way to
convey pieces of information, usually in the form of an outline, to a large audience.
Generally, PowerPoint presentations are appealing to users because they are easy to
create and edit and generally small enough to fit onto a CD or a USB Jump Drive.
Therefore, a user does not have to carry around any slides or slide projector, and, if
necessary, can make any last-minute changes to the presentation.

Menu bar

A menu bar is a thin, horizontal bar containing the labels of menus in an operating
system's GUI. It provides the user with a standard place in a window to find the majority
of a program's essential functions. These functions include opening and closing files,
editing text, and quitting the program. Although menu bars are usually present in most
GUIs, they may differ depending on the operating system you're using.

PowerPoint Home tab

The Home Tab is used to perform many of the common tasks such as changing fonts,
cutting and pasting text and images into presentations, changing paragraph formats,
drawing objects, and editing text. The groups and buttons for this ribbon are described in
