PowerPoint is an application software that is a part of the Office suite of applications that is used to create presentations. It was created by Dennis Austin and Robert Gaskins at a company named Forethought Inc. It was originally made for Mac computers, but it was bought by Microsoft for millions when it first debuted. It is interesting to note that this was the first large scale acquisition for Microsoft and a unit was setup for it in Silicon Valley. After being merged into Microsoft Office it took on many of the shared common components and included the user interface. This eBook will cover a number of features that you will find in Microsoft Office 2019.
