The Title Bar displays the name of the active presentation.

The Ribbon

Below the title bar is the Ribbon, which contains all PowerPoint capabilities in a single area.

The Ribbon is made up of a set of tabs containing commands for working with presentation content. The Home tab is active by default.

On each tab, buttons are organized into groups.

Dialog Boxes

Less common tasks are not represented as buttons in the groups; instead they are available in a dialog box.

To access a dialog box, click on the dialog box launcher at the right end of the group’s title bar.
