The PowerPoint Window


• A presentation is a talk (lecture) or prepared file in which the person speaking or the person who prepared the file—the presenter—wants to communicate with an audience to explain new concepts or ideas, sell a product or service, entertain, train the audience in a new skill or technique, or any of a wide variety of other topics

• Most people find it helpful to use presentation media—visual and audio aids to support key points and engage the audience’s attention
