• The first version of PowerPoint was initially developed in 1984 by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin of Forethought, Inc. and it was called “Presenter”.
• The Presenter was then later called PowerPoint 1.0 due to trademark issues when it was released for use for Apple Macintosh in April of 1987.
• During that time the PowerPoint 1.0 only function in black and white, and text and graphics generated pages only for overhead transparencies.
O R I G I N O F P O W E R P O I N T
• The PowerPoint full color version came out the following year right after the first ever colored Macintosh became available in the market.
• In August 1987, Forethought was bought by Microsoft for $14 million USD, and became Microsoft's Graphics Business Unit, which continued to further develop the concept.
• PC users would have to wait until 1990 when Microsoft would release a Windows version of PowerPoint.

• PowerPoint isn’t a word document program or a means to dump data.
• It’s a VISUAL so use it like one!
• The most important thing in a presentation is the audience and the presenter not the Power Point presentation.
• Therefore, most of your audience knows how to read and don’t need you to read to them.
U S E S O F P O W E R P O I N T
• The main use of PowerPoint is to create a visual aid for the presenter to have when he/she is giving a presentation.
• One can then add "special effects" for each placeholder, such as fly ins, fly outs, etc. to add interest and "sizzle" to the presentation.
• Video and audio can also be added.

• Use the 777 rule for simplicity in design: No more than 7 words per bullet, 7 bullets per image, and 7 word slides in a row.
• For no reason should you write a paragraph and then read it your audience.
• No more than one graphic image or chart per slide is another good rule
• The less the better!
