<P> A presentation program is supposed to help both the speaker with an easier access to his ideas and the participants with visual information which complements the talk . There are many different types of presentations including professional ( work - related ) , education , entertainment , and for general communication . Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual - aid technology , such as pamphlets , handouts , chalkboards , flip charts , posters , slides and overhead transparencies . Text , graphics , movies , and other objects are positioned on individual pages or `` slides '' or `` foils '' . The `` slide '' analogy is a reference to the slide projector , a device that has become somewhat obsolete due to the use of presentation software . Slides can be printed , or ( more usually ) displayed on - screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter . An entire presentation can be saved in video format . The slides can also be saved as images of any image file formats for any future reference . Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways , as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself . Typically a presentation has many constraints and the most important being the limited time to present consistent information . </P>
