HISTORY OF POWER POINT

Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program, developed by Microsoft, for Windows

and Mac OS operating systems. It comes integrated into the office suite called Microsoft
Office as another element, which can take advantage of the benefits offered by the other
components of the computer to obtain an optimal result.
PowerPoint is one of the most widely used presentation programs. It is widely used in
various fields of teaching, business, etc. According to Microsoft figures, approximately 30
million presentations are made with PowerPoint (PPT) every day.

It is a program designed to make presentations with outlined text, as well as slide shows,
text animations, and clip art or images imported from computer images. Different font
designs, templates and animations can be applied to it. These types of presentations are
usually more practical than those in Microsoft Word.

With PPT and the appropriate printing devices, many types of presentation-related output
can be produced: transparencies, printed documents for presentation attendees, notes and
outlines for the presenter, or standard 35mm slides.

PowerPoint began as a product called

"Presenter" in 1987. Developed by a
California-based company, Forethought,
the Presenter was intended to give
professionals a better business tool. At
the time, most presentations were given
using superior 35mm slides. The
Forethought saw the value in giving
people another option: the emerging personal computer complete with graphics capabilities.
The company believed its program could significantly reduce the time and cost associated
with creating and delivering presentations.

Microsoft Purchase
Just three months after its launch, Microsoft approached Ferothought to buy its Presenter
product. It was Microsoft's first major acquisition, paying Forethought $14 million for the
rights to the program. This company thus became part of Microsoft's graphics business unit.
Registration issues prevented Microsoft from retaining the "Presenter" name. In 1988, the
company relaunched the program under a new name: PowerPoint. The first version of
PowerPoint was available for Macintosh and MS-DOS computers.

VERSIONS

PowerPoint in the 90s

Microsoft released version two of
PowerPoint in 1990, making it available for
Macintosh, MS-DOS, and for the first time, Windows. In 1993, the third version of the
program became the first application required by Windows. The fourth version was
introduced in 1994, followed by the fifth version in 1995. That year also marked the
introduction of Microsoft Office which included PowerPoint 95. From that point on,
PowerPoint would continue to be released within the Office product. Two more versions
were released before the end of the decade: PowerPoint 97, with the "save to HTML"
option, and version 2000, which introduced animated files and the three-pane window.

PowerPoint of the 21st Century

In 2001,
Microsoft
released
Office XP,
which
included PowerPoint 2002. With this release, users
were able to preview slides for the first time before printing. The 2002 version was
followed by PowerPoint 2003. Microsoft made only minor changes in this version, but gave
users the ability to save their presentations to CDs. PowerPoint remained the same until
2007, with the release of a newer version and an updated user interface. PowerPoint 2007
introduced more templates and an image gallery for more customization options.
PowerPoint 2010 made it possible to embed and edit videos, create better animations and
3D slide transitions, and share unified presentations.

PowerPoint 1.0
It didn't take long for Microsoft to capitalize on its new acquisition. In September 1987,
PowerPoint 1.0 was released, forever changing the world of graphic presentations.
Although PowerPoint 1.0, available in black and white for the Apple Macintosh and for the
PC's DOS operating system, had only the most basic drawing tools, it took off quickly.
While this was happening, Microsoft embarked on a crusade to improve the program.
Because Genigraphics knew more about presentation graphics than anyone else 35mm
professional slides.https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerPoint - cite_note-3

PowerPoint 2.0
In May 1988 Microsoft announced a major update to PowerPoint, version 2.0. It had many
(much needed) improvements that made presentation graphics more practical for the
presenter. Instead of a palette of 256 colors, digital possibilities extended to 16.8 million
colors, plus "custom" colors and templates. The "grammar correction", "bring to front",
"bring to back", and "find and replace" functions have been added to the menu options.
Presenters could now import files from Postscript-based applications such as Adobe
Illustrator and Aldus Freehand, although not as easily as they could import native files.

PowerPoint 3.0
It gets the addition of 22 commonly used shapes; new freehand drawing tools, the ability to
rotate objects and the ability to copy an object's features became available. The business
world's fascination with statistical graphics began to grow, although not at the same furious
pace as Microsoft, with the introduction of 84 pre-designed statistical chart types.

In October 1992, the Mac version of PowerPoint 3.0 came on the scene, with most of the
features and with claims of greater cross-platform compatibility. Although items like
bitmap images and sounds did not convert well, the promise of true cross-platform
compatibility was a few steps closer, since a separate conversion utility was no longer
necessary.

PowerPoint 4.0
February 1994 brought the introduction of PowerPoint 4.0 for Windows. By this time,
PowerPoint was used by nearly 4 million users around the world, doubling its base.
installed in less than a year. Bolstered by sales of Microsoft Office, which led the
competition 7 to 1, PowerPoint's dominance on desktop computers was quickly becoming
unsurpassed.

It introduced new features to help presenters and speakers better adapt to the world of
graphical presentations. The Mac version of PowerPoint 4.0 was introduced in September
1994, and was the last version Mac users would see for the next 100 months. By late 1994,
most users had abandoned the support of service bureaus like Genigraphics in favor of
generating their own slides on their desktop computers.

PowerPoint 95
(PowerPoint version 7.0) It was introduced in August 1995 and was based on a completely
new code base, Visual C++. Improvements included more customization of menu options,
Visual Basic support, multiple undo commands, animations, and a more user-friendly and
customizable interface. But the introduction of PowerPoint 95 also brought with it another
situation. Users began to realize that electronic projection of their presentations on a screen
was a feasible option. An option that also allowed them to make last-minute changes.
Electronic projectors began to become more common, but they still had very low resolution
and were too expensive. PowerPoint 95's new animation engine allowed users to move
objects around on the screen. It also became easier to integrate sound and video.

PowerPoint 97
(PowerPoint 8.0) It was made available within the Office 97 package in January 1997. In
this version, the animation engine took dramatic steps forward.

Custom Shows allowed users to define unique paths through the same set of presentation
slides, while presentation recording capabilities and an embedded media player recognized
the growing presenter interest in the power of digital media.

With this new version it was possible to save presentations in HTML, allowing users to put
presentations on the Web.

PowerPoint 98
Long awaited, PowerPoint 98 for Mac appeared in January 1998 and matched the
functionality of the Windows version. For the first time, near-perfect cross-platform
compatibility became a reality. Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer 98 is a Macintosh viewer that
you can use to display presentations. Supports files created in the versions of PowerPoint
listed at the beginning of this article, earlier versions of Microsoft PowerPoint for
Macintosh, and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows versions 3.0 and later.

PowerPoint 2000
(PowerPoint version 9.0) It came to market in March 1999 to satisfy the growing desire to
be able to save and open the same file in both HTML and its native binary format. Other
important features of the app, such as animation and statistical graphs, came relatively
unchanged. PowerPoint 2000 introduced easy-to-do features that allowed the presenter to
standardize those often overlooked areas such as capitalization inconsistencies, formatting
errors, and resolution differences between computer and projector.

PowerPoint XP
(PowerPoint version 10.0) PowerPoint XP does not
depart radically from its predecessor PowerPoint
2000, but it does include many new and improved
features. Changes to review options dramatically
reduce the amount of navigation required to create a presentation. In previous versions you
had to switch views in order to see thumbnails of your presentation. The amended normal
view includes the text of each slide or RGP plus a thumbnail view of its graphics placed
under indicators on the left side of the screen. PowerPoint XP task panes provide one-click
access to design templates, color schemes, animation options, and review tools.

PowerPoint 2003
It was not much different from the 2002/XP version. Improves collaboration between
presenters and now includes the option to package for CD, which makes it easier to record
presentations with multimedia content and adds the CD-ROM viewer for distribution.
There is also improved support for graphics and multimedia.

PowerPoint 2007
 (PowerPoint 12.0) was released in November 2006 and brought with it a new user interface
and greatly improved graphical capabilities to make work easier. It included a new XML-
based file format (.pptx, .pptm, .potx, etc.), with the purpose of compacting files more,
improving the recovery of damaged files, making it easier to detect documents with
macros, greater privacy, more control over personal information, and improving the
integration and interoperability of professional data.

PowerPoint 2013.
(PowerPoint 14.0) was released on January 26, 2013, and
included new animation libraries, image processing, and
hardware acceleration capabilities. Also included in this
release:

· New backstage view.

· Creating presentations in collaboration with other colleagues.
· Save presentation versions automatically.
· Organize the slides into sections.
· Merge and compare versions.

The latest version 16.0, better known as [[Microsoft Office 2015] released on January 29,
2015, has also been released on the market, although this version came out in the Microsoft
Office theme, the arrival of the successor to Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 is also expected.

PowerPoint 2016
It was released on September 22, 2015, as part
of the Office 365 package, it did not have
major visual changes compared to its
predecessor (PowerPoint 2013), the most
notable change (visually) is the color of the
colorfull style toolbar. The focus was on "the
cloud" and facilitating team collaboration with multiple people working on the same
presentation at the same time. It also incorporated the "Information" box where you can
access a function more quickly by typing in a word of what you want to do.

 HOW TO PUT TRANSITIONS
Transitions are animations that you apply to elements on a slide as they appear or disappear
on the screen during a presentation. As with all animation, if they add energy to a
presentation, they must be used with some caution so as not to risk disturbing the
transmission of the message.

You can control speed, combine sound, and even customize the properties of transition
effects.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 offers many different types of transitions. On the Transitions
tab, in the "Transition to this slide" group, you can choose from a variety of transitions.
