Microsoft PowerPoint or just PowerPoint is a presentation program by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite, and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X operating system.

PowerPoint is used by business people, educators, students, and trainers. From Microsoft Office 2003 to 2008 for Mac, Microsoft revised the branding to emphasize PowerPoint's place within the office suite, calling it Microsoft Office PowerPoint instead of just Microsoft PowerPoint. The current versions are Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 for Windows and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2008 for Mac.

[edit] History

The original version of this program was created by Dennis Austin and Thomas Rudkin of Forethought, Inc..[1] Originally designed for the Macintosh computer, the initial release was called "Presenter". In 1987, it was renamed to "PowerPoint" due to problems with trademarks, the idea for the name coming from Robert Gaskins.[2] In August of the same year, Forethought was bought by Microsoft for $14 million USD ($26.8 million in present-day terms[3]), and became Microsoft's Graphics Business Unit, which continued to further develop the software.

PowerPoint changed significantly with PowerPoint 97. Prior to PowerPoint 97, presentations were linear, always proceeding from one slide to the next. PowerPoint 97 incorporated the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) language, underlying all macro generation in Office 97, which allowed users to invoke pre-defined transitions and effects in a non-linear movie-like style without having to learn programming (or even having to be aware of the existence of VBA).

PowerPoint 2000 (and the rest of the Office 2000 suite) introduced a clipboard that could hold multiple objects at once. Another noticeable change was that the Office Assistant, whose frequent unsolicited appearances in PowerPoint 97 (as an animated paperclip) had annoyed many users, was changed to be less intrusive.[citation needed]

[edit] Operation

PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device that can be seen as obsolete, within the context of widespread use of PowerPoint and other presentation software. Slides may contain text, graphics, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely on the slide. PowerPoint, however, facilitates the use of a consistent style in a presentation using a template or "Slide Master".

The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often projected using a video projector. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.

PowerPoint provides three types of movements:

1. Entrance, emphasis, and exit of elements on a slide itself are controlled by what PowerPoint calls Custom Animations
2. Transitions, on the other hand are movements between slides. These can be animated in a variety of ways
3. Custom animation can be used to create small story boards by animating pictures to enter, exit or move

[edit] Cultural impact

Supporters say that [4][5][6] that the ease of use of presentation software can save a lot of time for people who otherwise would have used other types of visual aid—hand-drawn or mechanically typeset slides, blackboards or whiteboards, or overhead projections. Ease of use also encourages those who otherwise would not have used visual aids, or would not have given a presentation at all, to make presentations. As PowerPoint's style, animation, and multimedia abilities have become little more sophisticated, and as the application has generally made it easier to produce presentations (even to the point of having an "AutoContent Wizard" (discontinued in PowerPoint 2007) suggesting a structure for a presentation), the difference in needs and desires of presenters and audiences has become more noticeable.

The benefit of PowerPoint is continually debated.[7] Its use in classroom lectures has influenced investigations of PowerPoint’s effects on student performance in comparison to lectures based on overhead projectors, traditional lectures, and online lectures. Not only is it a useful tool for introductory lectures, but it is also has many functions that allow for review games, especially in the younger grades. There are no compelling results to prove or disprove that PowerPoint is more effective for learner retention than traditional presentation methods.[8] The effect on audiences of poor PowerPoint presentations has been described as PowerPoint hell.

Although PowerPoint has the aforementioned benefits, some argue that PowerPoint has negatively impacted society. Many large companies and branches of the government use PowerPoint as a way to brief employees on important issues that they must make decisions about. Opponents of PowerPoint argue that reducing complex issues to bulleted points is detrimental to the decision making process; in other words, because the amount of information in a presentation must be condensed, viewing a PowerPoint presentation does not give one enough detailed information to make a truly informed decision.

A frequently cited example is Edward Tufte's analysis of PowerPoint slides prepared for briefing NASA officials concerning possible damage to the Space Shuttle Columbia during its final launch[9]. Tufte argues that the slides, prepared by the Boeing Corporation, had the effect of oversimplifying the situation, and provided false assurance that the ultimately fatal damage to the shuttle was only minimal. Tufte argued:

* The most critical information was consigned to the lowest level of importance in the outline style.
* The low resolution of the slides encouraged the use of acronyms and undescriptive pronouns instead of specific, descriptive terms and language.
* PowerPoint's limited font styling obscured proper notation of key scientific measurements.

Tufte concluded that:

The language, spirit, and presentation tool of the pitch culture had penetrated throughout the NASA organization, even into the most serious technical analysis, the survival of the shuttle.[9]

A review of Tufte's book, The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint can be read online. [10]
[edit] PowerPoint Viewer

The Microsoft Office PowerPoint Viewer is a program used to run presentations on computers that do not have Microsoft PowerPoint installed. The Office PowerPoint Viewer is added by default to the same disk or network location that contains one or more presentations you packaged by using the Package for CD feature.

The PowerPoint Viewer is installed by default with a Microsoft Office 2003 installation for use with the Package for CD feature. The PowerPoint Viewer file is also available for download from the Microsoft Office Online Web site.

Presentations password-protected for opening or modifying can be opened by the PowerPoint Viewer. The Package for CD feature allows you to package any password-protected file or set a new password for all packaged presentations. The PowerPoint Viewer prompts you for a password if the file is open password-protected.

The PowerPoint Viewer supports opening presentations created using PowerPoint 97 and later. In addition, it supports all file content except OLE objects and scripting.
[edit] Versions

Versions for Microsoft Windows include:

* 1990 PowerPoint 2.0 for Windows 3.0
* 1992 PowerPoint 3.0 for Windows 3.1
* 1993 PowerPoint 4.0 (Office 4.x)
* 1995 PowerPoint for Windows 95 (version 7.0) — (Office 95)
* 1997 PowerPoint 97 (version 8.0) — (Office 97)
* 1999 PowerPoint 2000 (version 9.0) — (Office 2000)
* 2001 PowerPoint 2002 (version 10) — (Office XP)
* 2003 PowerPoint 2003 (version 11) — (Office 2003)
* 2007 PowerPoint 2007 (version 12) — (Office 2007)
* 2010 PowerPoint 2010 (version 14) — (Office 2010)

Note: There is no PowerPoint version 5.0 or 6.0, because the Windows 95 version was launched with Word 7.0. All Office 95 products have OLE 2 capacity — moving data automatically from various programs — and PowerPoint 7.0 shows that it was contemporary with Word 7.0.
Note 2: Version number 13 was skipped due to superstition.

Versions for the Mac OS include:

* 1987 PowerPoint 1.0 for Mac OS classic
* 1988 PowerPoint 2.0 for Mac OS classic
* 1992 PowerPoint 3.0 for Mac OS classic
* 1994 PowerPoint 4.0 for Mac OS classic
* 1998 PowerPoint 98 (8.0) for Mac OS classic (Office 1998 for Mac)
* 2000 PowerPoint 2001 (9.0) for Mac OS classic (Office 2001 for Mac)
* 2002 PowerPoint v. X (10.0) for Mac OS X (Office:Mac v. X)
* 2004 PowerPoint 2004 (11.0) for Mac OS X Office:Mac 2004
* 2008 PowerPoint 2008 (12.0) for Mac OS X Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

Note: There is no PowerPoint 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 for Mac. There is no version 5.0 or 6.0 because the Windows 95 version was launched with Word 7. All of the Office 95 products have OLE 2 capacity — moving data automatically from various programs — and PowerPoint 7 shows that it was contemporary with Word 7. There was no version 7.0 made for Mac to coincide with either version 7.0 for Windows or PowerPoint 97[11][12].
[edit] Microsoft PowerPoint 2010

PowerPoint 2010 has changed from its predecessor. Screen Capturing has been introduced, allowing you to take a screen capture and add it onto your document. Also, you can now remove background images and you can add special effects, such as 'Pencil effects' onto pictures. Plus, new transitions are available. However, the ability to apply text effects directly onto existing text, seen in Microsoft Word is not available; a separate WordArt text box is required.
[edit] File formats
PowerPoint Presentation Filename extension .ppt, .pptx, .pps, or .ppsx
Internet media type application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
Developed by Microsoft
Type of format Presentation

The binary format specification has been available from Microsoft on request, but since February 2008 the .ppt format specification can be freely downloaded.[13]

In Microsoft Office 2007 the binary file formats were replaced as the default format by the new XML based Office Open XML formats, which are published as an open standard. Nevertheless, they are not complete as there are binary blobs inside of the XML files, and several pieces of behaviour are not specified but refer to the observed behaviour of specific versions of Microsoft product.

Microsoft PowerPoint atau Microsoft Office PowerPoint adalah sebuah program komputer untuk presentasi yang dikembangkan oleh Microsoft di dalam paket aplikasi kantoran mereka, Microsoft Office, selain Microsoft Word, Excel, Access dan beberapa program lainnya. PowerPoint berjalan di atas komputer PC berbasis sistem operasi Microsoft Windows dan juga Apple Macintosh yang menggunakan sistem operasi Apple Mac OS, meskipun pada awalnya aplikasi ini berjalan di atas sistem operasi Xenix. Aplikasi ini sangat banyak digunakan, apalagi oleh kalangan perkantoran dan pebisnis, para pendidik, siswa, dan trainer. Dimulai pada versi Microsoft Office System 2003, Microsoft mengganti nama dari sebelumnya Microsoft PowerPoint saja menjadi Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Versi terbaru dari PowerPoint adalah versi 12 (Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007), yang tergabung ke dalam paket Microsoft Office System 2007.

[sunting] Sejarah

Aplikasi Microsoft PowerPoint ini pertama kali dikembangkan oleh Bob Gaskins dan Dennis Austin sebagai Presenter untuk perusahaan bernama Forethought, Inc yang kemudian mereka ubah namanya menjadi PowerPoint.

Pada tahun 1987, PowerPoint versi 1.0 dirilis, dan komputer yang didukungnya adalah Apple Macintosh. PowerPoint kala itu masih menggunakan warna hitam/putih, yang mampu membuat halaman teks dan grafik untuk transparansi overhead projector (OHP). Setahun kemudian, versi baru dari PowerPoint muncul dengan dukungan warna, setelah Macintosh berwarna muncul ke pasaran.

Microsoft pun mengakuisisi Forethought, Inc dan tentu saja perangkat lunak PowerPoint dengan harga kira-kira 14 Juta dolar pada tanggal 31 Juli 1987. Pada tahun 1990, versi Microsoft Windows dari PowerPoint (versi 2.0) muncul ke pasaran, mengikuti jejak Microsoft Windows 3.0. Sejak tahun 1990, PowerPoint telah menjadi bagian standar yang tidak terpisahkan dalam paket aplikasi kantoran Microsoft Office System (kecuali Basic Edition).

Versi terbaru adalah Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 (PowerPoint 12), yang dirilis pada bulan November 2006, yang merupakan sebuah lompatan yang cukup jauh dari segi antarmuka pengguna dan kemampuan grafik yang ditingkatkan. Selain itu, dibandingkan dengan format data sebelumnya yang merupakan data biner dengan ekstensi *.ppt, versi ini menawarkan format data XML dengan ekstensi *.pptx.

[sunting] Operasi

Dalam PowerPoint, seperti halnya perangkat lunak pengolah presentasi lainnya, objek teks, grafik, video, suara, dan objek-objek lainnya diposisikan dalam beberapa halaman individual yang disebut dengan "slide". Istilah slide dalam PowerPoint ini memiliki analogi yang sama dengan slide dalam proyektor biasa, yang telah kuno, akibat munculnya perangkat lunak komputer yang mampu mengolah presentasi semacam PowerPoint dan Impress. Setiap slide dapat dicetak atau ditampilkan dalam layar dan dapat dinavigasikan melalui perintah dari si presenter. Slide juga dapat membentuk dasar webcast (sebuah siaran di World Wide Web).

PowerPoint menawarkan dua jenis properti pergerakan, yakni Custom Animations dan Transition. Properti pergerakan Entrance, Emphasis, dan Exit objek dalam sebuah slide dapat diatur oleh Custom Animation, sementara Transition mengatur pergerakan dari satu slide ke slide lainnya. Semuanya dapat dianimaskan dalam banyak cara. Desain keseluruhan dari sebuah presentasi dapat diatur dengan menggunakaan Master Slide, dan struktur keseluruhan dari prsentasi dapat disunting dengan menggunakan Primitive Outliner (Outline).

PowerPoint dapat menyimpan presentasi dalam beberapa format, yakni sebagai berikut:

* *.PPT (PowerPoint Presentation), yang merupakan data biner dan tersedia dalam semua versi PowerPoint (termasuk PowerPoint 12)
* *.PPS (PowerPoint Show), yang merupakan data biner dan tersedia dalam semua versi PowerPoint (termasuk PowerPoint 12)
* *.POT (PowerPoint Template), yang merupakan data biner dan tersedia dalam semua versi PowerPoint (termasuk PowerPoint 12)
* *.PPTX (PowerPoint Presentation), yang yang merupakan data dalam bentuk XML dan hanya tersedia dalam PowerPoint 12.

Mengingat Microsoft PowerPoint merupakan program yang sangat populer, banyak aplikasi yang juga mendukung struktur data dari Microsoft PowerPoint, seperti halnya OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org Impress|Impress dan Apple Keynote. Hal ini menjadikan program-program tersebut dapat juga digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk PowerPoint, karena selain tentunya dapat membuka format PowerPoint, aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut tentunya memiliki fitur-fitur yang tidak dimiliki oleh PowerPoint.

Meskipun demikian, karena PowerPoint memiliki fitur untuk memasukkan konten dari aplikasi lainnya yang mendukung Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), beberapa presentasi sangat bergantung pada platform Windows, berarti aplikasi lainnya, bahkan PowerPoint untuk Macintosh sekalipun akan susah untuk membuka presentasi tersebut, dan bahkan kadang-kadang tidak dapat membukanya secara sukses dalam Macintosh. Hal ini mengakibatkan adanya kecenderungan para pengguna untuk menggunakan format dengan struktur data yang terbuka, seperti halnya Portable Document Format (PDF) dan juga OpenDocument dari OASIS yang digunakan oleh OpenOffice.org dan tentunya meninggalkan PowerPoint. Microsoft juga sebenarnya sudah melakukan hal serupa saat merilis format presentasi berbasis XML (PowerPoint 12), meskipun hingga saat ini masih banyak pengguna yang tetap menggunakan PowerPoint 11 (Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003) yang masih berbasis data biner.
