QUESTION 2
Before identifying the difference between Microsoft
PowerPoint 2013 and 2011, the term Microsoft PowerPoint needs to be clearly
defined. By definition, PowerPoint is a presentation program developed by
Microsoft. It is included in the standard Office suite along with Microsoft
Word and Excel. The software allows users to create anything from basic slide
shows to complex presentations.
PowerPoint is often used to create business presentations, but can also be used
for educational or informal purposes. The presentations are comprised of
slides, which may contain text, images, and other media, such as audio clips
and movies. Sound effects and animated transitions can also be included to add
extra appeal to the presentation.

style user interface of Windows 8, the design and functionality of Microsoft
Office 2013 has been streamlined to work with both PC’s and Tablet devices.

predecessor, it is essentially the same product, with a few tweaks and
enhancements added here and there. The main focus has been on improving
document sharing using the SkyDrive cloud service, and using it to access and
edit them from remote locations. In this article, we will look at the
