Microsoft’s Mac Business Unit, the largest gaggle of Mac programmers outside Apple, has produced a new Mac Office suite for the first time since 2004. Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac comprises new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage and Messenger.
There are many features which make the PowerPoint attractive. Presenter View automatically adapts to your projection set-up, and you can even use it on a single monitor, Themes now come with variations, which make it simpler to hone in on the look you want, and when you're working with others, you can add comments to ask questions and get feedback. PowerPoint gives you several ways to start your next presentation using a template, a theme, a recent presentation, a not-so-recent presentation, or a blank one. You can send out a link to the slides, or start a full-on Lync meeting that displays the deck with audio and IM. PowerPoint now supports more multimedia formats, such as.mp4 and.mov with H.264 video and Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) audio, and more high-definition content. PowerPoint most used file extensions:,.

Microsoft PowerPoint began its life as Presenter and was published for exclusively Macintosh by Forethought, Inc. Microsoft acquired Forethought in 1987 and renamed the app PowerPoint.
The first Windows version, PowerPoint 2.0, was launched with the first version of Microsoft Office on May 22, 1990, which was also the release date of Windows 3.0. Prior to PowerPoint 97 for Windows and 98 for Mac, presentations were completely linear, moving lockstep from one slide to the next.
PowerPoint 97 and 98 gave PowerPoint nonlinear capabilities, includes Visual Basic for Applications, and gains transitions and effects. Mac Version History PowerPoint 1, 1987 Released on April 27, 1987 as Presenter and renamed later that year due to trademark issues, PowerPoint 1 is a 1-bit black-and-white only program that works on all System versions up through 6.0.x.
It shipped on two floppy disks, one with the program and the other with sample files. It requires a Mac with at least 512 KB of RAM. You can PowerPoint 1.0 from Macintoshgarden.org.
PowerPoint 2, 1988 PowerPoint 2, now a full-fledge Microsoft product, shipped in 1988. There’s very little information about it on the Internet. The PC version (1990) requires Windows 3.0. PowerPoint 3, 1992 1992 saw the arrival of PowerPoint 3, and the Web has almost nothing to say about it. The PC version is for Windows 3.1. PowerPoint 4, 1994 The Windows world got PowerPoint 4 in 1993, a year ahead of the Mac version.
PowerPoint 4 for Mac was part of Office 4.2. This was the least Mac-like version of PowerPoint (and the rest of the Office suite) ever, as Microsoft had this crazy idea that the Mac version of its Office apps had to be as much like the Windows version as possible. This kept many Mac users away from Word 6, Excel 5, and PowerPoint 4. Microsoft skipped from PowerPoint 4 to PowerPoint 95, also known as version 7, to coordinate with Windows 95. This was fillowed by PowerPoint 97 (a.k.a version 8) as part of Office 97. PowerPoint 98, 1998 After four years at the horrible Windows-like version 4, PowerPoint 8 came to the Mac as PowerPoint 98, part of Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition. This was the first nonlinear version of PowerPoint for Mac and the first to support Visual Basic for Applications.
Office 1998 requires or later (7.5.5 recommended), a PowerPC processor (120 MHz or faster recommended), 16 MB of RAM (32 MB to run more than one Office application), a 640 x 480 8-bit color or 4-bit grayscale display, and a CD-ROM for installation.

PowerPoint 2001 requires through 9.2.2, 8.5 or later recommended. Application requires 10 MB of RAM with virtual memory enabled, 17 MB without it. It uses 160 MB of hard drive space and requires a 640 x 480 display with 256 colors or shades of gray or better. CD-ROM required for installation. PowerPoint v.X, 2002 This is the first version written for OS X – and only OS X.

It was also the last version to support and PowerPC Macs. Office 2008 was the only version to ship as a universal binary for both Intel and PowerPC hardware.
Visual Basic for Applications is not supported. It was the first Mac version to ship with support for Microsoft’s Office Open XML format, something PC users got in 2007. This version is also known as PowerPoint 12. (Number 13 was skipped due to superstition.) Office 2008 requires a 500 MHz G4 CPU or faster, OS X 10.4.9 Tiger or later, 512 MB RAM, 1 GB of hard drive space on an HFS+ formatted volume, a 1024 x 768 display, and a DVD drive for installation.

It requires an Intel-based Mac running or later, 1 GB of RAM, 2.5 GB of hard drive space on an HFS+ formatted volume, a 1280 x 800 or larger display, and a DVD drive for installation.
