PowerPoint is a presentation tool that is included in Microsoft Office. Just as it is easy to edit, rewrite, and print documents in Word, these features are also available when preparing slide presentations. Drawings, clip art, and other special effects are easily added to your presentation to make it more effective. 

To prepare overhead transparencies for oral presentations, you can use spirit-based markers and acetate sheets. An alternative approach is to print directly from a computer-based package, using a laser printer and special acetates, or directly to 35 mm slides. You can also photocopy on to special acetates. The use of Microsoft PowerPoint as a presentation package has become more important in recent years. It is not uncommon to find a computer and presenter available for student use. Advice on content and presentation is given on p. 344. 

Transparencies are still used for presentations made with overhead projectors, even with the explosion of programs like PowerPoint (from Microsoft) and peripherals like LCD computer displays, both of which let you show a whole roomful of people exactly what s on your computer screen. Actually, though, PowerPoint still has an option to print slides, and you can use any program you want to print anything you want to a transparent sheet of plastic or vinyl for use with an overhead projector. The problem is, these papers are exceedingly difficult for printers to work with. That s why special transparencies were developed for use with laser and bubble-jet printers.
