Introduction to MS

PowerPoint
Lesson 1

History
• Robert Gaskins invented PowerPoint. He led its
initial design and development at a startup, where
the idea attracted the first venture capital
investment ever made by Apple Computer.
PowerPoint was released for Macintosh in 1987,
and soon afterward, it became the first significant
acquisition ever made by Microsoft, who set up a
new business unit in Silicon Valley to develop it
further. Gaskins headed this new Microsoft unit
for another five years, completing versions of the
PowerPoint product which contributed to the
explosive early growth of Microsoft Windows and
to the dominance of Microsoft Office.

The PowerPoint
Application Window
• PowerPoint 2010 is a complete presentation
graphics program that allows you to produce
professional looking presentations.
• Slides can be created and displayed as a slide show
on your computer, video projector, or on the
Internet. Information from a PowerPoint
presentation can be printed in a handout form or as
transparencies.
• PowerPoint allows for data to be entered and edited
quickly and efficiently. To make changes to the
presentation you can edit a slide rather than
recreate the presentation. You can also import
information from spreadsheets, databases, and
word-processing files.

Slides in a Presentation
• Slides in a presentation contain all the text, pictures,
movies, sounds, and other types of information that
will be displayed to the audience.
• Thus, it is very important that users know how to
manipulate slides because this is the building block of
any presentation.
• When PowerPoint starts up, it automatically opens a
new presentation with one blank slide.
• Users can start with this slide and then add more slides
as needed.
