Powerpoint

The Presentation System from Microsoft




Powerpoint is a presentation system from Microsoft that makes presentations that may or may not be synchronized to music. These are often used in sales presentations but some very creative individuals have used them for travel and entertainment "shows".

The Microsoft Powerpoint program costs around $230 alone or as part of Microsoft Office for about $700. The Powerpoint file format .pps is included in the Open File Format, so free Open Source programs like Open Office include a program called Impress that produces presentations identical to Powerpoint.

You can also obtain a free Powerpoint viewer from Microsoft here. The viewer can display a Powerpoint presentation, but cannot create one. If you don't have Powerpoint or Office, download the free viewer now.

 

Now that you have a viewer, go to the Tom Phillips web site and take a look at the creative Powerpoint presentations found there. andrea.bocelli-zwitserland.pps is a good example. Make sure your speakers are on.
