Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft PowerPoint 
Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Office PowerPoint or PowerPoint is a computer program for presentations developed by Microsoft in their suite of office applications, Microsoft Office, in addition to Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and several other programs. PowerPoint runs on a PC computer based on Microsoft Windows operating system and also Apple Macintosh that uses Apple Mac OS operating system, although at first this application runs on the Xenix operating system. This application is very widely used, especially by the office and businesspeople, educators, students, and trainers. Beginning on the version of Microsoft Office System 2003, Microsoft changed the name of Microsoft PowerPoint to Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Then, in Office 2013, its name is simply shortened to PowerPoint. The latest version of PowerPoint is version 15 (Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2013), which is incorporated into the Microsoft Office 2013 package.

histori
The Microsoft PowerPoint application was first developed by Bob Gaskins and Dennis Austin [1] [2] as a Presenter for a company called Forethought, Inc. which they later renamed to PowerPoint. [3]

In 1987, PowerPoint 1.0 version was released, and the computer it supports is Apple Macintosh. At that time, PowerPoint still uses black / white, which is able to create text and graphic pages for overhead projector (OHP) transparency. A year later, a new version of PowerPoint came with color support, after a color Macintosh appeared on the market.

Microsoft acquired Forethought, Inc. and of course PowerPoint software for a price of approximately $ 14 million on July 31, 1987. In 1990, a version of Microsoft Windows from PowerPoint (version 2.0) came into the market, following in the footsteps of Microsoft Windows 3.0. Since 1990, PowerPoint has become an integral part of standard in Microsoft Office System office suite (except Basic Edition).

The latest version is Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2013 (PowerPoint 15). This version was released in January 2013, which is a considerable leap in terms of user interface and enhanced graphics capabilities. In addition, compared to previous data formats that are binary data with the extension * .ppt, this version offers an XML data format with * .pptx extension.
