- PPTX file format
- The default editable presentation file format for modern Microsoft PowerPoint; it stores slides, text, graphics, and settings in a package of XML parts.
- PPSX file format
- A PowerPoint show file that opens directly in slide show mode; the slides remain viewable but the file is intended for presentation rather than editing.
- Normal view
- The main editing view showing the slide pane, thumbnail pane, and notes pane; used to create and edit individual slides and their content.
- Slide Sorter view
- A view that displays slide thumbnails in order; used to reorder, duplicate, delete, hide, or apply transitions to multiple slides.
- Save As command
- Creates a new file or overwrites a different path or format; use it when preserving the original file is required.
- Zoom setting
- Changes the on-screen magnification of the editing area only; it does not change slide dimensions, print output, or slide show size.
- Slide master
- A template layer that stores design, fonts, colors, and placeholder positions for all slides using that master; edits apply globally to those slides.
- Slide layout
- A predefined arrangement of placeholders for titles, text, and objects; applying a layout repositions content into the layout's placeholder structure.
- Transition
- An effect applied between slides that controls how one slide replaces another during a slide show; it is not an object animation.
- Animation
- An effect applied to text, shapes, charts, or other objects on a slide; it controls entrance, emphasis, exit, or motion paths.
- Rehearse timings
- A slide show recording mode that stores the time spent on each slide so the presentation can run with saved automatic timings.
- Hidden slide
- A slide marked to be skipped during a normal slide show while remaining in the file and visible in editing views.
- Placeholder text
- Text entered in a layout placeholder inherits the master's font, size, color, and position unless direct formatting overrides those settings.
- Text box
- A movable, resizable container for text that is independent of layout placeholders; its formatting is usually set directly.
- Autofit options
- Text overflow settings include shrink text on overflow, resize shape to fit text, and do not autofit; they control how text fits a frame.
- Format Painter
- A tool that copies character or paragraph formatting from selected text to other text; it does not copy the text content itself.
- Replace All
- A find-and-replace command that changes every matching occurrence in the presentation at once, rather than confirming each replacement.
- Column chart
- A chart using vertical bars to compare values across categories; category labels appear on the horizontal axis and values on the vertical axis.
- Line chart
- A chart that connects data points with lines to show trends or changes over time, especially for continuous or ordered categories.
- Pie chart
- A circular chart showing each category's proportion of a single whole series; all slices should represent parts of one total.
- Chart legend
- A key that identifies the color or pattern used for each data series in a chart; it helps viewers map chart elements to series names.
- Chart data worksheet
- The table of categories and values that supplies an embedded chart; editing its cells updates the chart's plotted data.
- Group command
- Combines selected objects into one movable and resizable unit; grouping preserves individual object formatting and can be reversed with ungroup.
- Crop picture
- Trims the visible edges of a picture without scaling the remaining image; the hidden areas may remain in the file.
- Aspect ratio lock
- A resizing constraint that keeps an object's width-to-height ratio unchanged; holding Shift while dragging a corner handle usually applies it.
- Alt text
- A short description attached to an image, shape, chart, or table so screen readers and other assistive technology can convey its purpose.
- Selection pane
- A panel listing objects on a slide; it supports selecting, renaming, hiding, and changing the stacking order of those objects.
- Handout print layout
- A print option that places multiple slide thumbnails on one page for audience reference; common layouts include two, three, four, six, or nine slides.
- Presenter view
- A presenter-only screen showing the current slide, next slide, speaker notes, and timers; it requires a second display or extended desktop.
- Mark as Final
- A setting that marks a presentation read-only and warns users before editing; it discourages changes but does not encrypt or secure the file.
- Embed fonts
- A save option that stores used fonts in the presentation so text keeps its appearance on computers lacking those fonts, increasing file size.
- Export as PDF
- Converts the presentation to a fixed-layout document that preserves slide appearance but generally does not support editing slide objects.
