excellent tool

5.0 7 days ago New

Comments: It has facilitated the creation of projects for many years of my life, from school to my job. I currently use it and will continue to use it.

Pros:

I love it because it has easy access to create presentations where creativity and imagination are captured in the templates that are pre-designed, it has tools that are very useful at the time of creation and make the work easier. Although there are more and more new applications that compete, I prefer Microsoft PowerPoint for its functionality and ease.

Cons:

There is absolutely nothing that I dislike, this program was one of the first to learn to use and I have always liked all the functions it has
