If you didn't like the old version, however, there isn't a lot here to change your mind.

If you need to create presentations for work or school, it remains the go-to tool. Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 is essentially a slightly improved version of its predecessor, with a few new features and some overall improvements in Office 2016. Still the standard for presentation design If you want to make your slides the old-fashioned way, of course, that's still possible. Some design processes are now streamlined or automated: for instance, if you start entering a list of bullet points, PowerPoint will now offer to turn your list into an eye-catching SmartArt graphic. The interface is essentially the same, with the only changes being a few small additions such as the Help menu. If you've used PowerPoint 2013, you won't see a lot of changes in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016.
